Based upon our experience & study, we can explain to the youth the psychological factors leading to success in life. My meaning for success is:
"The achievement of an aim or purpose". It may also mean the attainment of fame, wealth or social status. However, for our study in the ‘Psychology of Success’, we can say that success is power which by development and application can realize our desire for something, provided our desire is within reasonable limits and it does not violate the rights of others. An individual’s power depends upon:
1. Physical Heredity: It consists of factors which cannot be changed.
2. Social Inheritance: It consists of endowments in the form of parental care, education, specializations, scientific knowledge and every thing which makes one an efficient member of the society.
3. Individual effort that may be termed as man-power. This 'power' is an organized knowledge expressed through intelligent effort. Thus knowledge becomes power only when put into use.
