De Niro says “just be calm. When things are going well, be calm. Don’t think you’re on top of the world, in a sense. You always gotta be wary, because I’ve seen it. I’ve seen people come, I’ve seen people go. You’ve got to be chill. You’ve got to just take what’s good in your life and move forward, cautiously and carefully, and thank God that you have that. It’s very, very important not to overextend yourself when you think you’ve got it: there’s no such thing. Everybody’s dispensable.”

It seems that Rodriguez has taken De Niro’s words to heart. The amusing thing is that A-Rod’s former teammate Derek Jeter has a connection to De Niro. Jeter once went and saw an apartment connected to De Niro. But coming back to A-Rod, the former Yankee third baseman has put those words into action, as he doesn’t boast about his achievements despite having a lot of success in life lately.
