They say that the problem to being on top is remaining there. Very true, especially if you don't have the mindset to keep the position.
Often times, those who are on top tends to slack off and assume that their peak would give them enough momentum to carry them through the next round of challengers. Of course you must realize that everyone else would want a chance to put you down. Hence, you always need to be on top of your game. Key word there is YOUR GAME; meaning, you need to challenge yourself beyond what you have already achieved. Say, if you are a southpaw slugger get yourself another arsenal with a right handed haymaker; if you are low post basketball player excel in perimeter shooting; or, if you're not a handsome dude---be smart.
Like what William Faulkner said, "Don't bother being better than your contemporary or your predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
