Remaining on Top

Tweet

They say that the problem of being on top is remaining there. Very true especially if you don't have the right mindset to keep the position. Often times, those on top tend to slack off and assume that their peak would provide the necessary momentum to get them through the next round of challengers. Of course you must realize that everyone else would want to have the chance to take 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 a right handed haymaker; if your are a 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 getting better than your contemporary or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
