This is not a famous thing, it's just that I've heard someone at a past workplace say this.
"Doing the same thing that got you here into this position will not make you successful in it, it may not even be enough for you to keep it."
To be clear, he wasn't saying it to me or anyone, he said it to himself as a life lesson he learned going through promotions and changing companies. The point was to stay humble and don't expect your past accomplishments to get you through future challenges.
