Are you an accessory, or the main attraction?

A goal of mine is to become an accessory. Much liability comes with being the main attraction. My older years beg me to shed all unnecessary responsibilities.

I’ve heard it said…
“There’s nothing worse than getting to the top, only to find that nothing is there.”

Can one effectively be both the main attraction and an accessory at the same moment?

Would you rather be the Speech Speaker, or the Speech Writer?

Would you rather be the Racer, or the Pit Crew?

Would you rather be the Batter, or the Bat Boy/Girl? Perhaps the Batting Coach?

Can one exist without the other?
