If you want to reach the top, don't run over others. Likely, the only way you'll reach the top is to be carried there by others.

It's always tough to stay at the top for so long.

Now that I'm on top, everyone wants to bring me down. Everyone's trying to tug at me and take my spot.

If you want to get to the top, there's always the risk that it will isolate you from other people.

I just know you can not be on top forever. There's always going to be the next guy, and if I'm going to go down, I'd like to know I helped the next guy take my spot. You can't prevent the inevitable, but you can join the ship.

It's hard to always be on top. You go down, you go up.

When you are growing up, everyone will help you. When you reach the top, everyone will start pulling you down. The same people who help you will be the same people who try to pull you down.

Getting to the top is one thing, but staying there is quite another. That's the difficult bit.

I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.

I've just gone through so much in my life that pulling my top up just doesn't seem like that big a deal.
