Responding to success can be more challenging than failure

Much like gravity, nothing can stand up there for perpetuity. All that goes up or even grows up there like Newton discovered will some day come down. So is the story of life. But what about the momentary euphoria from going up there, getting to the top? That can be a tough one… We humans have a natural persistence of vision, but sometimes persistence can affect our mind and brains too.

When one fails one can commit greater rigor, more focus or sometimes even change of course to get to the top, but when u are at the top the only three place to go are either further up, stay there or go down. With the three options none can stay there for ever and obviously none can grow forever. Responding to success can thus be tricky, appearing arrogant, docile or humble all have its own issues.

I guess the response is a function of the culture, the landscape and the competition.
