I have even decided to travel to the bottom to ask everybody down there what's taking them so bloody long.

General Proud

because there are so few there.

Rooh !!

EAGLES fly alone....did u notice
its among the few birds which can soar that high..n usually wen we start to gain heights people start leaving us.may b due to the imbalance created or prejudices or inability to cope up.hence its lonely at the top but THE VIEW IS QUITE A REASON TO GO UP THERE be it all alone.

Because everybody else is trying to replace you

Because it's hard to have to make friends out of people you have to be in charge of..

cheri

Maybe it is because of all the things one leave behind in order to get there

Jeez

I also think that it's because people are never truly happy with someone else's success. There are friends who even resort to call you names and think you have negleted them instead of pulling themselves into your level.

prof CILERM

because it is far from home.

every one fears you based on your history on the way to the top. Though they'll never admit it.

Jealousy from those below you.

Good Luck!!!

It's often lonely in the middle as well.

Those that are truly exceptional are truly rare.
There arent many ppl who have the mental fortitude within them to go all the way, even if you make a lot of noise about how great you are, that can only be decided by your actions.

Besides, is there enough space to share at the top?

When you are CEO or CFO - you will not be lonely - you will be in an exclusive Club.

The competition is stiff and no one dares confide in the other. It is all slash and dagger. One cordially tolerates all around there, but one is always wary of them, always alert, always ready to take the next step before the other discovers it.

Because most people prefer their feet on the ground. Like me.

Because for most people to get to the Top one must sacrifice friendships and social interactions. And sometimes, to get to the Top one must USE close friends and social contacts, which in turn cuts off those people from wanting to be close anymore.
Too often, people at the Top get there by only thinking about themselves and how to benefit themselves. In the process this also means using EVERYONE, even friends, to a point where every person is viewed as an opportunity, not as a human being.

Busi

because they have left us down here.

Diezel

I don't even have a clue.

Getting to the top..will take focus, determination, hard work. Devotion. Time. It is what separates "slightly above average" from "top". Few people will understand that burning desire to make the absolute best of what you do. You will face a lot of difficulties, get your trust shaken..

And it leaves little time for pleasure and frivolities..

It depends which mountain you have climbed . Maybe settle on the lower slopes where the average person can reach.
