It's not enough to work to get to the top. You have to keep working to stay at the top.

It means that the toughest thing about being successful is that people know it, and to keep your, well, let's say "reputation", you have to keep on being good at whatever it is, and a success.

Think about the New England Patriots. They won the Super Bowl three times and now they're trying for a perfect season. The quote means that you can't just do one good or successful thing, then quit. You have to keep striving to improve at whatever you are doing.

it means that in order to continue being successful at what you do, you've got to keep doing whatever got you there and not slacking off. If you quit working hard, your success will go away---it doesn't just happen because you did nothing.

Once you have really succeeded at something, it is then expected that you will continue to be a success. If you fail, people will see your failure on a huge scale rather than if you have never really been a huge success it doesn't seem as big a deal.

Once you're successful, you have to stay successful. If not, you begin looking just normal, or even life a failure.

it means that once you achieve success, your expectation of yourself increases as it does to everyone else. it is very hard because you have to keep on being successful in everything you do or else you will be looked down on.

It means success comes and goes. for example mike vick was a successful nfl qb, now he will probably never play in the nfl again.

Once you achieve your goal you must keep working to stay up there and keep raising your goals to remain successful.

It means that it's easier to get to the top than it is to stay there. There is always so much competition coming at you that you really have to work even harder to stay successful.
