A couple of years ago I conducted a survey among friends - who is a successful person? A businessman in a business suit, sitting in a glass office with a huge panoramic window and a secretary... A freelance photographer who shoots weddings of couples somewhere on a tropical island and lives for 6 months on the ocean... Or just a person - any person who can call himself happy?

This is what my friends answered me (verbatim)…

A successful person is...

A respectable guy, 30+ years old, with an apartment, a wife and min. one child =)V general word“stability” is the theme here.

Successful is when you are happy with yourself. And when everyone around you is still happy with you, then you are finally fucking successful.

A person who has achieved the desired heights in his life, financially and socially. Well, and, so to speak, family. And having a certain weight and influence in society.

A person whose possibilities keep pace with his desires)

Probably the one who has found his place in life and is in agreement with himself. The one in whom the spirit does not lose, no matter what happens, and he always has the willpower to move on.

Successful man- the person who knows what he wants!)))

A successful person is financially secure, able to earn money with his mind and deeds. First of all, he is a business-like and responsible person, able to overcome laziness and fatigue, courageous and strong.

Probably happy with his life, calm and confident.

A successful person is a person who happily does what he loves, grows as a professional, constantly develops and receives a decent reward in monetary terms for this :)

The one who achieves everything he wants on his own, without relying on others.

And here is my favorite answer, the most succinct:

It is impossible to answer unequivocally: for example, if a person has realized himself in his personal life, that is, he was able to build full-fledged relationships, create a wonderful family, he is already successful, because this path is fundamental for him.

Someone was able to realize themselves in certain area, has achieved the task, and having completed it, he goes further in this direction, developing himself, he is also a successful person.

Success can be said to be synonymous with some actions, it is work. And work also means working on yourself, working on your personal life, future family, etc. And in general, each person will be able to determine for himself whether he is successful.

Success is implementation. And it doesn’t matter what exactly. But what I mean by realization is that a successful person does not stand still, he...

How to be a successful person? This question is one of the most exciting in modern life. People think and talk about success, films are made and books are written, a huge amount of research is being conducted on the topic of achieving success. psychological trainings. Therefore, a large amount of knowledge has accumulated in this area. Psychologists and lay researchers have drawn conclusions about the essence of success, the qualities of a successful person and what hinders life achievements, written detailed recommendations and algorithms for achieving success, tactics and strategies have been developed to conquer and conquer the heights of life. We will discuss some of these recommendations below.

To become successful, you must first understand what success is in your understanding. After all, the definitions of this concept can differ significantly from person to person. For some, success is money and fame, for others it is professional achievements and recognition of talents, and for some - the presence of a loved one, family and children. There are other options, some of which may seem strange to everyone except those who strive for them.

And yet there are some universal indicators and definitions of success and a successful person. A successful person is one who does what he likes, receiving both money and pleasure from his profession. This is the one who achieves the intended goals. Someone who thinks outside the box and takes less traveled paths to the top. And he gets there much earlier than others.

How to achieve success? Even the longest and most difficult journey begins with the first step. The technology for achieving success is simple: you take the first step, then the second, third and so on. Sometimes you have to stop, sometimes you have to make detours. This is fine. If not you do not miss the main thing and do not deviate from the intended path.

Sequence of actions to achieve success:

1. Set specific goals. “I want to earn a lot” is a very vague desire. You need to have a good understanding of exactly how much you want to earn in order to feel that you have achieved success in life.
   
2. Set deadlines for achieving these goals. “Double your income in a year” - specific goal with clear deadlines.
   
3. Consider different options implementation of what was planned. In order to double your income, you can go to work for another company that pays exactly the same salary, you can work two jobs, or you can open your own business or even change your profession. Think about which option is easier to implement and which will bring you more pleasure.
   
4. Plan specific steps. For example, in order to move to work in another company, you need to make contacts with those who work there, find out what requirements are imposed on candidates, improve those points that do not correspond, write a resume, etc.
   
5. Be flexible. If something you planned didn’t work out, look for other ways and means of achieving your goal.
   

What does success depend on and why do some people manage to achieve everything they set out to do and even more, while others can’t achieve anything? There may be many reasons, but the main one is not villainous fate. It is obvious that to achieve success, a person requires certain character qualities, as well as certain skills and good habits. Consider what can help you be a successful person:

• Persistence, often called stubbornness in everyday life. Luck is not at all synonymous with success, and on the way to your desired goals, minor and major failures will certainly await you. Persistence will help you move on and not lose heart.
  
• Self-confidence. This quality is not given to everyone from birth and is not always acquired through school and home education. But without it you cannot achieve success, so you will have to develop it. The simplest and effective recommendation To those who suffer from self-doubt: behave and act like a confident person, no matter how scared you may feel. People around you will believe that you can handle anything and over time they will convince you of this.
  
• Independence. Your thoughts, as well as your actions, should not depend on the opinions of others or on the stereotypes imposed on you by one or another system - society, authorities in the profession, a set of your own attitudes. Think globally and always try to look at the situation from the outside.
  
• Creativity. Creative approach useful not only for lyricists, but also for physicists. It helps to find new paths and unexpected solutions that will lead to success in the future.
  
• Stress resistance. A person who is active and moves through life with leaps and bounds often has to be in a psychologically uncomfortable environment. And not only to find, but to work: think, analyze, accept optimal solutions. Therefore, such a quality as resistance to stress will be very, very useful to him.
  
• Self-criticism. With all your real or feigned self-confidence, you should not forget that you are not flawless. You can make mistakes, including big ones. The ability to be critical of your actions, as well as understanding your weaknesses and shortcomings, can become your weapon in the fight for primacy.
  
• The ability to focus on the main thing. Life, like work, is many-sided and varied. There is always a chance to get distracted by something unimportant and waste time and other resources. If you can constantly keep your main goal in mind, remember it in the whirlpool of events, then your chances of achieving success are very high.
  
• Cheerfulness and optimism. You can't go anywhere without him. It is unlikely that anyone, striving for success, imagines himself in the image of a grouch dissatisfied with everything in the world, sitting on a bag of money. A positive attitude is important at all stages of life and professional path, without the ability to look at things in a positive way and see good things around you, it is very difficult to survive. And especially not to survive, but to live with pleasure. After all, a successful person is not only one who has achieved fame, wealth and recognition, but one who knows how to enjoy it all. Including when all achievements are only in plans.
  
• Love and even passion for the occupation of life. To be a successful person, you need to be passionate about what you do. Only if this condition is met can you receive something significant from your fate in return. If you choose your life's work based only on its financial profitability, then you, of course, can achieve some success in it. Your successes may even be significant, but still, most likely, you will not make a breakthrough in your field. After all, you will not devote yourself to your profession with all your soul, but will use it only to obtain the benefits of life. And it will not give you pleasure. Thus, one of important conditions success will not be met.
  

In addition to the qualities that a successful person needs, there are qualities and character traits that are completely unnecessary for him. Here are some of them:

• Low self-esteem and self-doubt
  
• Fear of failure
  
• Lack of flexibility of thinking
  
• Fear of any change
  
• Habit of looking for someone to blame
  
• Looseness and inability to concentrate
  
• Lack of motivation
  

A future successful person must definitely get rid of these qualities. This will be the first step on a long path to success.

Today almost everyone talks about human success, but few people are clearly aware of what success is and what it depends on. In this sense, success is somewhat akin to love, when everyone imagines what it is, but is completely unable to clearly explain their ideas to others. So what is success? Let's try to figure it out.

What is success

Success... Having heard this word, a poor student will most likely imagine himself as the son of rich parents, riding a Lamborghini, and basking in the attention of girls with model appearance. And a girl of the same age as this student, an equally poor girl, will most likely dream of regular shopping in Paris and Milan. And after some time, our heroes, being “actively searching” for a good job and personal life, will understand success as having good friends who can help with advice and put in a good word...

An infinite number of such examples can be given, considering how success is represented by the most different people, and... drown in information noise, not understanding anything. There is a better way. Simply, looking at the above examples, let’s fix two properties of success so that, starting from them, we can move on.

First, the concept of success varies from person to person. Since all people live at some distance from each other, we can say that the concept of success changes in space.

Secondly, the concept of success changes over time. After all, what seemed significant ten years ago may lose all value and meaning today. In the same way, today's values ​​may become irrelevant after some time.

Where do space and time intersect? They intersect at a point called “here and now.” This means that “here and now” there is always some chance of success. When they say that “success is being in time,” they don’t say one thing important detail. Success is not just about being on time. Success is having time to see or find your chance here and now. But this does not always work out and not for everyone. And now it’s time to talk about the qualities that allow you to see and find your chance here and now.

Qualities of Success

There are two of these qualities: the ability to navigate and intuition. How are they different? The main difference is that the ability to navigate is purely human quality, based on personal experience, and a person’s awareness in any field of knowledge. And intuition is a trans-personal quality that appears as a kind of insight, a new unprecedented idea. Let us emphasize: this is a trans personal quality. In other words, intuitive insight never comes on its own. It can come as a result of explicit or implicit interaction between people.

To train the ability to navigate a situation, you need, firstly, to study, and, secondly, to practice. To train intuition... wait, is it possible to train it? No, intuition cannot be trained. You can only follow certain rules so that intuitive insights come as often as possible. One of these rules is to listen to other people more often, mentally (namely mentally, not verbally) trying to oppose this person. It is at these moments that some useful idea may come to mind.

Now, having understood the ability to navigate and intuition, we can define the concepts of “success” and “successful person”. So…

Success is the ability to see a chance to improve your life here and now, with the help of the ability to navigate the situation and intuitive insights.
 A successful person is a person who sees opportunities to improve his life right here and right now, and takes advantage of them.

More down to earth, a successful person is able to improve his life anywhere, in any environment. For example, we all know people who, having found themselves in a new city, very quickly acquired good acquaintances, quickly found their soulmate, and soon had their own business. This is an example of a successful person. Another example: a person found himself in difficult conditions(in the army or prison), and there he was able to achieve some respect and position. True, in the last example, not only success plays a role, but also resource, but this is a separate topic...

Qualities that prevent many people from being successful

1. Firstly, this is the expectation that one stage will end, and after it a new, “more successful” one will begin. For example, a young man or girl thinks: “I’ll finish school, go to college, and then life will begin.” But, alas, life does not begin. Dull lectures drag on with breaks for session hassle. And further, such a person thinks: “I’ll finish college, go to work, and...”. But history repeats itself, and people step on the same rake. Although no, not the same ones. The previous rake didn’t hit the forehead so painfully...
2. Secondly, this is faith in miracles. Such a person believes that “suddenly a wizard will fly in in a blue helicopter.” What distinguishes faith in a miracle from the expectation described above is spontaneity. If waiting always has a specific period, then a miracle can happen at any moment. However, when a person expects a miracle, he does not see the chances that exist here and now, and thus becomes less successful. The expression “if you wish for something, then stop wishing, and your wish will come true” is precisely about this situation. A person wants a miracle to happen that would realize his desire, but at the same time he does not see the chances that exist here and now.
3. Thirdly, the belief that the basis of success is one thing. For example, money. If you have money, then you can, if not everything, then a lot. Another example can be given: love. If there is love, then everything in life will work out. As a rule, the first belief is more characteristic of men, and the second – of women. In fact, both men and women here replace cause with effect. If a person can earn money, then this is just the result of the fact that the person is successful. Or, if a person is loved mutually, this is the result of the fact that he saw and did not miss his chance.
4. Fourthly, the desire to succeed by deceiving someone. After all, if one person deceives another, then trust does not arise between them on a subconscious level, and, consequently, the opportunity for intuitive insight disappears. A person who deceives another, as it were, deprives himself of one of the qualities that allows him to see his success here and now. Of course, such a person can use his ability to navigate the situation, but such a skill can not always help. Therefore, it is more profitable to be honest.

What would you like to say finally? The fact that the external attributes of a person’s success (money, cars, girls, travel) is not success itself, but only its consequence. And success is, first of all, the ability to see your chance. And, of course, I would like to wish all readers to see their chances! Or, more simply put, wish them good luck!

To be successful: what does it mean?

Option #1

You can consider yourself a successful person if you can learn from your defeats and become stronger. No one has yet managed to build own life without mistakes, because they are part of an amazing journey to a more perfect you. Realizing this is already a great achievement.

Option No. 2

A successful person is one who gives up everything that does not make him happy, does not help him achieve his goal and drags him down. This behavior can be confused with self-centeredness, but in fact it is a sign of moral maturity. One should only rejoice at the emergence of selectivity and develop it in every possible way. Standing up on the right way, you can consider yourself successful.

Option #3

A successful person is always identified by his “positive” speech. This means the absence of complaints and the syndrome of OGJ (“resentment at an unfair life”). Many people express their dissatisfaction bad work, rising prices, not such a president, etc. By uttering such phrases, they attract negativity into their lives and aggravate their own situation. Successful people pronounce much more words with a plus sign: “I will achieve it,” “I will succeed,” etc.

Option No. 4

One of the main signs of a successful person is the harmonious relationships he builds with the people around him - colleagues, friends, parents. But constant conflicts and scandals indicate emotional immaturity.

From a psychological point of view

What does it mean to be successful from a psychological point of view? This refers to views on life and relationships between people. The latter can be divided into friendly and business.

There are signs of a successful person:

• Responsibility. The individual realizes that results are achieved only with an appropriate attitude towards their implementation. Such a person tries to effectively solve the problem he takes on. To others, he appears reliable, aware of the value of words and actions.
• Discipline and self-control. Rare man capable of achieving anything without the proper level of self-organization. The final result depends on how much an individual can discipline himself.
• Ability to learn and think effectively. An effective person never thinks that he knows and can do everything. Therefore, at any time, if necessary, she is ready to master a new amount of knowledge and skills for the optimal way out of the current situation. Such a person not only accumulates knowledge, she analyzes it, leaving behind well-proven methods of resource management.
• Desire to set goals. An individual must want to achieve something in life. The desire and ability to set goals is a determining factor in how successful one will be. further actions in the future.
• Ability to plan and achieve results. Any idea requires proper planning and implementation. This step is a natural extension of the desire to set goals. The most important thing is to come up with good idea, draw up a plan that takes into account possible risks, and follow it, despite varying difficulties. This means that a successful person will not retreat and give up.

• Hard work. Work as a process in skillful hands brings pleasure. And for those who do not understand why it is needed, it is a heavy burden. An accomplished person enjoys his work because he understands why it is being done and what specific result the work will lead to.
• Energy and healthy image life. Health is a resource like any other. Therefore, in order to productively implement goals, it is worth paying attention to preserving this asset. An energetic lifestyle directly affects the perception of the world around us, and therefore leads to growth in the implementation of plans.
• A sober outlook on things and self-confidence. Smart man understands that in life nothing falls from the sky and is not given for free. He understands that everything must be achieved through hard, productive work. An accomplished individual must be the master of his own circumstances. A self-confident person understands that most obstacles that appear on the way are surmountable, and some exist only in the imagination.
• Circle of communication. A person who values ​​time will not waste it on people who are unable to give him anything in any respect. This may be expressed in the fact that he will exclude from his social circle persons who do not know how to keep their word. He is guided by the principle “the people who take up most of your time are more important to you.” Therefore, people who want to be successful try to exclude from their circle those who represent a certain kind of ballast.
• Effective time management. The ability to organize time well in itself is worth a lot. Time is far from an endless resource that can be scattered at will. An organized person will always be able to answer where he will be at one time or another.

The first sign of a successful person. Obsession with competition.

Firstly, successful people are simply obsessed with competition. It doesn’t matter what they need to be faster, better, bigger or stronger. They have only one desire - I will do it better than you. And in a capitalist environment, everything rests on competition. Capitalism itself is based on competition.

Sports are based on competition. All the politicians who convince us that they are the best candidates in elections and achieve the highest positions are usually the most strong rivals. They strive to be first.

Imagine there is a work environment and there is the best employee in it. Like any office or sports team, there is a best player. And suddenly a new player appears and joins the work team or sports team. He immediately sees best employee opponent. Everything that the first one does is repeated by the second one. Diet, discipline, schedule, everything, because he wants to be better. And if the second one competes better than the first one, he will overtake him. That's how life works.

The second sign of a successful person. They get things done.

When successful people put together puzzles, they don't stop until they finish. If they play a game, then they must complete the game. If they read a book, they should finish it and this is an indicator. There are people who read only two chapters of a book and this is a sign that they do not like to go to the end. They are looking easy way. And the one who goes to the end does it in everything and looks for a way to complete what he started.

The third sign of a successful person. Your surroundings earn more than you.

Your environment should earn more than you. They should be better than you in life, finances, and profits. If your environment is richer and more successful, then sooner or later you will catch up with them. This is a formula, not a simple accident.

This is why many who have not achieved success often like to surround themselves with people more low level to appear better against their background. Successful people always surround themselves with more successful people because they strive to reach the same level.

The fourth sign of a successful person. The brain works non-stop.

The brain of a successful person always works non-stop. These people regularly think: what if this happens?, what if I can do the same?, what if I talk to him?, what if I go to a meeting?, we have to do this, remember we discussed this this morning, if we If we do this, we will get this. Their brains do not stand still; they are constantly thinking about something.

The fifth sign of a successful person. How competent people evaluate you.

How competent people see your success. Let's say I met Ivan. Ivan knows the director, the football coach, his uncle and another person for whom he works. And they all say that Ivan will succeed, he is successful. These four people can back it up with facts that he will succeed.

Why do these four constantly meet with Ivan? Because they know everything about him weaknesses, all his habits. They know if he knows how to get things done. Does he prefer to surround himself with more successful people? They know that he has the characteristics of a successful person and treat him with authority. Competent people believe in you. These people believe in your success.

The sixth sign of a successful person. Learn new things.

Successful people always improve. They don't know any other way. They want to learn about this, improve their skills in this area and in another. They always try to study more and discover more.

1. You say “Yes” to things that are not important to you and for which you do not have time.

Respect your time and energy by focusing only on the people and things that really matter. Even if you plan your time, it will not help you. Because you will spend it recovering from unnecessary things done.

2. You think of yourself as if you are incapable of success.

We've all at one time or another felt the need to improve our appearance to impress someone. We also know that we don't have to do a certain thing, but we do it anyway. This main feature self-disrespect. It is not enough to understand, it is important to do the right thing. And if we are not good enough for someone or something, this is not a reason for sadness and disrespect for ourselves. The truth is that these things are not good enough for you.

3. You often agree with what they say just so as not to offend your interlocutor.

Our opinions matter, and when we don't express them, it shows that they don't really matter. And those around you see it. If someone is offended by our honest and thoughtful opinions, then they didn't need the truth and didn't want to hear anything. They were simply looking for a person who could always agree with their opinions. Show respect to others by speaking only what you think. Moreover, this will show that you can respect yourself.

4. You put the needs of others before your own.

You will never help yourself if you prioritize the needs of others. Ignoring what you need in terms of rest, relaxation and general well-being causes harm. We work better, are more productive, and are emotionally stable when we take care of ourselves.

5. You feel guilty if you do what you need to do. Especially if someone advised you to do something differently.

Seeking advice has its place in our lives, but it is important to remember that it is only advice. Whether you gave it or received it from someone else, you shouldn't feel guilty just because you acted differently. It just means it wasn't quite right at the time. Don't feel guilty that you acted counter to the advice you received and were able to make the decision you really needed.

6. You don't defend your position.

No one thrives in conflict, and sometimes it's easier to just step aside. You have to balance yourself and your position to protect yourself. To show respect for yourself, it is important that people know the truth about you and the role you play in certain situations. Sometimes, you need to make a decision to correct the wrong course of events. And sometimes, to improve the already positive course of things. In any case, creating a clear and clear picture is the ultimate sign of self-respect.

7. You often hide your feelings.

A person is a combination of feelings and emotions. But society has taught us to keep them secret, so as not to make everyone around you uncomfortable and so that other people do not look at you askance. You disrespect yourself every time you say that everything is fine, but in reality, it is not. Be true to yourself. It defines you as a person and shows others that you are capable of being authentic.

8. You often seek the attention of others.

The only attention that really matters is the attention we give to ourselves. When we pay attention to others, we are simply looking for external confirmation of what we probably already know. If you find yourself seeking the approval of someone else, take a look at yourself and understand what you are truly lacking.

9. You often try to please others by turning into a weak person.

We each have the ability to influence our own happiness, and when we are happy, we want others to feel the same. The problem is that trying to make others happy causes you to lose those emotions yourself. You become exhausted from trying without results or exhausted after achieving the final result. We can provoke the most big changes, focusing solely on yourself. As Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change we want to see in the world.”

Psychologist Toronto
IN given time this psychologist does not answer questions from site visitors.
You can ask other psychologists a question

In my opinion, a person’s success can be assessed by two criteria: external and internal. External are signs of success that are socially approved in a given culture (status, condition, social status etc.). Internal ones are the individual criteria of each individual, according to which he classifies (or does not classify) himself as a successful person. And they can either coincide with external ones (fully or partially) or be completely different. If a person relies in his life only on external criteria, then he gradually becomes very neurotic (since competition is high) and in this race for external attributes of success he can completely lose himself, his needs and values. This is fraught with disappointment in adulthood, dissatisfaction with life and the inability to effectively resolve existential crises. But the second option (reliance only on internal criteria) is also not ideal; it can lead to a complete separation from reality, a decrease social adaptation and even social rejection.

Therefore, it seems to me optimal to have a mixed option, when a person relies on both external and internal criteria, compiling them in an individual and acceptable proportion. At the same time, it is important not to forget every time in the process of moving towards success to check your well-being (both physical and psychological), to be able to hear your basic needs and don't ignore them.

If we talk about strategies for achieving success, it seems to me that important elements any of them will be the following things:

• perseverance. Success comes as a result of many efforts; it usually does not come to those who make only one effort on the way to it.
• the ability to cope with failure. This must be done by allowing all the feelings that arise as a result of failure to manifest themselves and live in your body, be able to express these feelings, then, after anger, despair and emptiness, new impulses, new energy and new resources will come to you.
• attitude towards success. If you do not put success at the forefront, but the main goal of your life is still to determine your own personal development(and consider success as side effect development), then (as practice shows) success becomes much more achievable.
• support. It is important on the path of your own development (aka the path to success) to be able to find support for yourself wherever you can get it. For this, it is important for a person to have communication skills, be open to the world and experience, and respect himself and others.

If I briefly try to express my basic idea of ​​\u200b\u200bsuccess and success, then, probably, it can be done like this: If you develop and follow the path intended for you by nature, you will always be successful. Success can be determined by different criteria, but the main one, after all, is yours. own attitude to yourself and your success.

"WHO IS A SUCCESSFUL PERSON"

Teacher: Rumyantsova

Lyudmila Valerievna

2015

TO him everyone who wants to realize themselves as an individual strives.

It's great when you his reached

His compared to the pinnacle of happiness.

He stands next to the word “luck”, and they are often confused.

IN him you need to believe.

To his to achieve, you definitely need to put in a lot of effort.

It's on the way to him They say to a person: “The one who walks will master the road.”

Today I want to talk to you about what every person probably strives for. Anyone who wants to realize themselves as an individual.

I started our meeting with some statements. You probably already have your own assumptions about what is hidden behind the pronoun “HE” in these phrases. Share your thoughts with me.(students' answers)

In fact, today we will talk about success, or more precisely about what kind of person can be called “successful”.

Guys, name the words that you associate with the word “SUCCESSFUL”(students' answers)

Interesting options. But what definition of the word “SUCCESSFUL” does he give in his explanatory dictionary Sergei Ivanovich Ozhegov:

Successful - accompanied by success, successful

Guys, name people you know who you can call successful. And why do you think so?

Guys, I want to ask you: “Can a person who has external signs success: car, watch, expensive suit?

Not always.

For example, in the case when he got it all without difficulty. For example, I won the lottery, received an inheritance, my parents gave it to me. This is not success, but chance. And a person can lose all this as quickly as he gains it.

When else we cannot call a person successful: when he is internally restless and unsure of himself. I am not confident in my own success.

They say that the letters that make up any word can help reveal its essence. I suggest you play a kind of linguistic game: let’s spell out the word “SUCCESS” and select an adjective for each letter that names the qualities of a successful person.

U - successful, persistent

WITH - brave, strong

P – professional, principled

E - one with the world and with oneself

Sh – broad-minded, quick-witted

N - persistent, independent

ABOUT - responsible, organized

WITH – proud

T - hardworking

b (maybe kindness in some cases also helps to become successful)

Let's go back to the examples successful people. I also made a selection of successful people.

Who are these people by profession?

Now let's look at our records. What does each of these people do? Looking at the names of these professions, what conclusion can be drawn?

This is absolutely different types activities. This means that you can become successful in any business, the main thing is to cultivate in yourself those qualities that we talked about.

And these are not all the qualities that a successful person can and should have. These are just some touches to the portrait of success.

A person must choose for himself in which area to become successful. First of all, he must ask himself the question: “What do I want to be successful in?” and set yourself the direction of movement.

Remember Alice's conversation with the Cheshire cat:

Please tell me where should I go?

Where do you want to go? - asked the Cat.

I don’t care...” said Alice.

Then it doesn’t matter where you go,” said the Cat.

This dialogue formulates one of the most important principles for achieving success.

Which?

Choose the direction of movement, choose the direction of your activity in which you would like to become successful and develop in yourself those qualities that we talked about. And then, maybe over time, someone will be able to call you a successful person.

But I think that you can already call yourself successful people.

Do you agree with me?(children's answers)

You are successful students, many of you are successful in sports and creativity.

To summarize our conversation, I invite you to fill in the blanks on your “Components of Success” card.

Let what happened stay with you and help you remember how to become successful in life.

Whether you are successful or not is determined by everyone for themselves. And here, it seems to me, a lot depends on whether you are satisfied with the results you have achieved. If a person has achieved the goals he set himself, but still does not feel satisfied, will he call himself successful, even if everyone around him considers him so? And on the contrary, if a person is satisfied with what he has achieved, although success is not at all obvious to those around him, can he be called successful?

I think that success is an internal and very personal state of a person. So is happiness. A person is only as successful as he feels.

I wish you to feel these sensations and not part with it throughout your entire life.
