It's normally the kiss of death to be identified as a rising

Summary

This quote suggests that being labeled as a rising star or someone to watch can have negative consequences. It implies that receiving such recognition can be detrimental to one's success or reputation, possibly leading to added pressure or heightened expectations. Being identified as a rising star could invite scrutiny or envy from others, making it harder to maintain or exceed the high expectations placed upon them. Therefore, the quote suggests that being labeled as such might not always be favorable or beneficial.
