Discovering one's potential is one thing and maintaining such potential to remain at the top is another thing. Note where there is a new level in one's life there is always a new devil so to be on a safer end while exhibiting the greatness in your potential to remain at the top always consider doing the following :

1. Discipline (discipline yourself on the  area of your excesses)
2. Maintain a conducive environment (try to find yourself in a  positive domain)
3. Always be with the right company, (because when wrong people come into your life wrong things happen)
4. Go for the best ( don't limit yourself with the usual things you know)
 
Remember when preparation and readiness meets with opportunity success is inevitable.
