IT'S EASY TO GET IT, IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN

Sometimes it's very easy to reach a certain level of success... maintaining it is the hardest part.

It's so easy to buy a car, you will just loan in the bank and that's it... you have brand new car. The harder part is maintaining it. You have to have money for the changing of oil, battery, etc. You have to have money for maintaining its looks and functionality. And most of all, you need to pay it monthly which feels like hell. It's easy to get it but it's hard to maintain it.

Some rookies in the NBA made it fast, especially the lottery picks. They thought that they made it once they are in the NBA, they act rich, act stupid and do reckless things. They didn't take care of their careers that's why they only lasted for how many years. Some lasted for 2 years, some lasted for a year, what a promising career.

Just because you get it doesn't mean it's yours forever. If you will not take care of it, if you will not put in the same level of work you put in before... it will be taken away from you.

Stop being arrogant and keep working hard, never get lazy or else you will fall at the bottom. You need to keep the fire alive, the passion even hotter. It's easy to get it but it's hard to maintain it.

Another example is marriage, it's easy to get married, you will just throw away money, throw a big party during wedding but the harder part is maintaining your relationship with your partner. You have to be patient, you have to be understanding and supportive, if you're selfish then the marriage will not last forever.

Getting it is one thing, maintaining it is another thing. Just because you have it doesn't mean it will be yours forever.

Always stay humble, always work hard, take care of what you have and never do stupid things that will make you lose it.
