Psychology of success

Success in general refers to the state or condition of meeting a desirable or intended objective. It may be viewed as the opposite of failure. The criteria for success are heavily dependent on context of use, and may be relative to a particular observer or belief system. There a lot of ways of thinking about success and explaining it. 

Sometimes success seems to be casual. There are such people who are lucky whatever they do. We call them lucky beggars, because they are successful without any attempts and they always avoid troubles.  

But on the other hand, having in mind that people can develop their thoughts and actions seeking for positive goals, so success is no accident. It is a skill, which that can be learned by anyone, at any stage of the game. 

Most of all I personally liked the opinion of psychologists C. Dwerk, which she developed in his book “Mindset: the New Psychology of Success. The main idea she introduces is that people either exercise a growth mindset or a fixed mindset and this determine the success. 
Those with a fixed mindset believe their talents and abilities cannot be improved through any means. They feel that they are born with a certain amount of talent and typically do not wish to challenge their abilities because of possible failure. Challenges are frequently viewed with negativity, instead of as a personal growth opportunity. So success in this way is casual and doesn’ depend on person.  

People that practice a growth mindset believe intelligence, talents, and abilities can be developed over time. They believe abilities, such as athleticism and mathematical capabilities, can be improved through hard work and persistence. Often, people of the growth mindset do not fear failure; instead, they choose to see failure as an opportunity for personal growth. So this group of people believe that they can reach success themselves if they want and develop their personal skills. 

Summing up what was said about success, it can be various attitudes about success. Success lays in the psychology of human-if you think positive and try to reach your goals, you won't just stumble upon success in the dark.
