Success Factors is the foundation of your best life.

Just as it is impossible to become an Olympic champion without long-term training, it is also impossible to achieve success without creating a foundation, that is, developing success factors that will help you start your path to success.

Here are the key success factors

the development of which can be fundamental to your success.

1. Honesty towards all people. Building long-term relationships is only possible with complete honesty. The secret always becomes clear. Therefore, if you are determined to succeed, value your reputation from the very beginning and do not do anything that could tarnish it. Perhaps, if we take all the success factors, this is one of the most important.

2. Discipline - progress towards success is impossible without clear and consistent actions. Without discipline, you will rush from side to side, which will not allow you to achieve success.

3. The ability to get along and negotiate with people is the second most important success factor. Your whole life is connected with people, you communicate with them every day. And your further development will depend on the effectiveness of this communication.

4. Having a companion or life partner who can understand and help – No matter how strong and confident a person is, sooner or later he will need support. And the best support is the help of a loved one who shares your interests and gives you confidence in difficult moments. Without this, other success factors will work less effectively.

5. Ability to work harder than other people - You must work for the result and do everything to achieve it. Only the real fruits of your labor will propel you towards success. And for this you need to work harder and more efficiently.

6. Love for your career or business is the third most important factor for success. The more you love what you do, the more effective you will be at it. If you like your business, you have more strength and energy, your results are much higher.

7. Pronounced qualities of a leader - A leader first of all determines the direction of his life. He is not a follower, he is a leader. A leader makes his own decisions in his life and acts in accordance with them.

8.Self-organization - the ability to organize yourself and your thoughts will allow you to be much more effective in your actions and achieve better results.

9. The ability to sell yourself and your ideas too an important success factor. Every person periodically has good ideas about changing their life, but success is achieved only by those who are able to turn these ideas from dreams into reality, who can interest other people and begin to act.

10. Willingness to take financial risks given the opportunity to make a profit - most people are afraid of not losing, so if there is minimal risk they refuse to act. But success cannot be calculated in advance. That's why successful people They are not afraid to lose, they want to win. Sometimes it is this success factor that allows you to achieve a real breakthrough in life.

11. The ability to invest capital correctly - substantial sums pass through the hands of any person throughout his life. But some were able to multiply them, while others simply spent them. If you want to be successful, start by studying your expenses and investing options.

12. The ability to see opportunities that others do not notice - there are plenty of opportunities to make money around. If you want it, you will find it and make it happen. If your mind is afraid of not losing, then most of them will pass you by. Without opportunities, all other success factors will simply have nowhere to be applied.

13. The ability to be your own master - most people go with the flow of life, obeying circumstances. But a successful person takes the reins of his life into his own hands - he directs his own actions and chooses the direction of his own efforts.

14. Having good mentors - we come into this world absolutely pure. Everything we have acquired, know and can do, we received from our parents and teachers. Therefore, if you want to become more successful, find a person who has achieved what you dream of and analyze his experience, knowledge, how he acts, thinks, makes decisions. This point will allow you to develop all other success factors.

15. Extreme energy - it is impossible to become successful without some effort and energy expenditure. You must ignite a fire within yourself that will keep you on the path to success. The results achieved will fuel this fire stronger and stronger.

16. Good physical form- being in good shape and feeling good is the key to your performance. If you get tired quickly, lethargy and apathy fall on you, then your results will be low, and accordingly there can be no talk of success. Without health, all other success factors also lose their effectiveness.

17. The ability to ignore criticism from those who seek to belittle your merits - successful people are criticized everywhere and always. In this way, losers try to imitate their activities and gain satisfaction. Therefore, the best response to any criticism is to ignore it. When you start arguing with them, you sink to their level. By responding with silence, you remain above them.

All these success factors are important and are the very building blocks of the foundation that will help you begin the path to success.

But the main ones are honesty, the ability to get along and negotiate with people, and love for your career or business.

These three are key success factors that can have the greatest impact on your life and your success.

Therefore, implement these success factors into your life and take action. And very soon your life will change for the better!

Human potential and hidden opportunities to seize the chance are always nearby. These are factors of success, and there are reasons for failure...

Ultimate Player. Part 2. World of ideas.

This is the second part of the article. First

Is it that bad to work?

I'll start with work. Now for some reason on the Internet, among people reading newsletters, it has become fashionable to isolate the root “slave” in the word “work” and say that work is necessarily slave labor for someone. It turns out that everyone needs to do their own business, be independent from anyone, and working is bad and wrong. This is an idea, but the idea is contagious and, in my opinion, harmful (maybe I misunderstood it, but my reasoning is not completely wrong either).

The word “work” itself means the process of converting one type of energy into another or, in general, being in action, as well as occupation, labor, and activity that generate income. Why do you have to say that this is “slave labor”? Why can't work be fun?

For example, I enjoy working during the day, writing for you. I transform the energy of my ideas into texts, reading which you become aware of yourself and free yourself. My work makes you feel good. And I feel good from the gratitude that comes from you, and from the knowledge that I am useful to you. Is my work, which is my business, so bad?

Do you have to mind your own business? Yes, if by this you mean something you like. For example, a person loves to draw. He enjoys creating beautiful websites. But he doesn't like to sell them. However, the idea outlined at the beginning of the chapter tells him that he must do this himself or find a partner, but, of course, this must be his business, personal. But he doesn't want to do business. Namely, his hobby will turn into a business. All he needs to do is find a good company that will sell the results of his work and give him his share of the profits, which is sometimes called a salary. Potential. Chance. Hidden Features. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Do you realize? Salary is your share of the profit. If you are dissatisfied with your salary, you can ask (or demand) a larger share, and if they don’t give it to you, find other partners, that is, another company and calmly work there from 9 to 5, doing what you love and not being bothered by selling the results of your work . For what? If someone likes to sell and organize this process, as well as deal with taxes, advertising, etc., let him do it. Let him receive a large share of the profit for this, but you don’t do what you don’t want to do. However, if you do all this, you will have little time left for creativity. Do you need this?

Is it so bad to work with someone? Have you noticed a new phrase: “work with someone?” But you can say: “Work for someone:”, and this phrase already implies that you are under someone, but if you evaluate your work as working together with someone (a company or a person, it doesn’t matter), everything becomes easy and simple. In my opinion, this idea gives more freedom than the words of the statement that you are “WORKING FOR SOMEONE”. How does he know, after all, this person, your life? Only you know her. Therefore, when accepting any ideas, be careful.

After all, the people who create them for you know how to create them in a logical way. These people (including me) know how to play with words and meanings, and here it is important to realize why this game is being played. If the point of the game is to give you the opportunity to have more freedom, and this idea is contained in two sources, choose the idea that gives you freedom in a shorter and in a simple way. Why choose an idea that calls on you to destroy everything around you? Breaking is not building.

And, concluding my short thoughts about work, I will say that you can evaluate whether a job is bad or good for you using very simple criteria:

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

1. If your job gives you the opportunity to fully use your talents, it is a good job.

2. If you are satisfied with the share of profit you receive at your job, it is a good job.

3. If at work you do only what you like, it’s a good job.

If one of the points is not implemented, look for another job.

In general, it’s interesting for me to talk with people who believe in karma, that is, in the “law of retribution”, which came to us from Indian religion and philosophy, and which says that our fate in some future lives is determined by the sum of good and evil actions in this life. And our life now, accordingly, is determined by some lives in the past.

On the one hand, the “law of karma” is a good law. It forces people not to do ugly things and not harm themselves and the world. If you want to live well later, live well now.

But this same law forces a person to accept the life that society has created for him, that is, poor and unhappy (do you believe that society cares about your happiness?), and there is an explanation for such a life - “karma”. Of course, what kind of attempts can there be to be happy and successful, because you did so much bad in your past life.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

In India, such a religion is justified from the standpoint of society. There's a billion or so population there. Poverty and dirt are widespread. Can you imagine if all these people want to live well? There will be a revolution. But there is “karma”, and they sit, chew crackers, but they believe that in the future life they will be maharajas. And if you add to the law of “karma” the law “honor your king,” then this whole crowd will pray to their monarch that he allows them to live at all. And if you don’t pray, then “karma” will spoil. It will be bad in the future life.

By the way, how do you know that a past life even exists? How do you know that there is a future life?

My personal experience says that this is all just a hoax and a big deception. I remember the moment when I learned that a past life exists. My grandmother told me. And I remember my surprise when I imagined that it turned out that this was not the first time I had been born, but something like that. I was so impressed by this idea that I believed in it with all my heart. Moreover, my grandmother was good. I loved her. Is it any wonder that I believed this fairy tale? As I assume, this tale was told to her by her grandmother, and it was told to her grandmother by some village shaman who had eaten too many fly agarics and “caught glitches,” as the youth say.

Of course, maybe everything was wrong, but how can you know exactly how it all happened? I read a book on the history of religion, and it describes in a very interesting way the principle of the emergence of beliefs. On empty space they arose. Lightning struck a tree, the ancient people got scared, hid, and one, especially creative, came up with the idea that it was someone sitting on top throwing lightning. Well, they called him God and began to bow and propitiate:

Then I read in some magazine that, it turns out, there are tests that allow you to find out who you were in a past life. I took such a test and found out that in a past life I was the captain of a pirate brig. I liked this tale, and I began to believe that I really was the captain of this brig.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Well, since I believed in past life, which means I need to believe in a future life, because it can’t be that I’m living last life?

Maybe, and how it can! :-) About 5 years ago I found another test on the Internet, from which I learned that I, it turns out, was living my last life. It turns out that I already had a number of incarnations (I forgot how many), and that’s all. I will not be born again on earth. It may be so: Or it may not be so: Believe it or not? And if you believe, then why? What will this give me? What will it deprive? And in general, do I need this belief?

In general, I am telling you all this in order to show you that all the beliefs that possess us are only a consequence of social learning, which passes on the myths, legends and fairy tales of our world from mouth to mouth. I really wonder which of what you believe is a myth and which is not?

In a global sense, everything is a myth. Any belief you have is a myth. After all, you cannot verify your myth with real physical experience? Therefore, a good phrase was invented: “What I believe in is a consequence of my mystical experience, which cannot be verified in any way. But I felt it, that means it happened. And since it happened, that means I believe in it. After all, I believe in "My experience. If I don't believe my experience, then what should I believe in?! In your experience?!" .

It’s tempting to say: “No way:” And I would say, only then will you achieve enlightenment, but are you ready for this? After all, it turns out that all the fairy tales about love and hate, good and evil, courage and cowardice, and many others are all just fairy tales, and the real world is completely different. Do you want to live in another world? I don't think you'll like it. After all, then all the people around you will simply fall away from you, like a dried leaf from a tree.

You realize that your love is a consequence of your complexes, and your desire for success in life is just stupidity that has taken up so much precious time of your life. You realize that up to some point you lived in illusions and not in life: You realize a lot of things. Do you need it? If necessary, then - Why?!?!

After all, the very idea that you MUST be enlightened and advanced is just an idea, and it’s not a fact that you need this idea.

Here it is worth realizing the following: we live in a world of ideas, and not in a world of things. Animals live in a material, real world. There are no interpretations for them. For them everything is clear. An attack is a threat that must be responded to accordingly: either flee or kill. A person can evaluate the fact of an attack as a lesson, or as punishment from God, or in a hundred other ways. And all these methods will be only ideas about the world, but not the world itself.

But human “ideology,” that is, life in the world of ideas and myths, does not mean that this life is incorrect. We are designed in such a way that in order to live we need ideas about the world in which we live.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

I know one figure who proves that he knows the truth, and everyone else does not know the truth, in a simple way. He declares: “You say words. It’s all nonsense. There is only one truth. And it is not these words. The truth is that a brick can hit you, but there are no words.” When a person says that words can also hit, our leader says: “I love you: Are you hurt?” . “No,” says the Man. “But this is a word,” says the activist. “But if I hit you with a brick, even gently, it will still hit you, because the brick is the truth.”

He is right that a person needs to be shown the stupidity of believing in his own thoughts. But he cunningly replaces a person’s thoughts with his own thoughts and, thereby, makes him dependent on himself.

We are designed in such a way that we need to believe in something. If we don't believe in anything, we can't navigate the world. We have no foothold. For us, everything is like the first time. If we do not believe in anything, we will remain children, and all the experience of previous generations will be lost to us. But this experience was created, for example, by this computer.

You can ask the question: “Okay. I won’t believe in this. What should I believe in? Why and why exactly your ideas? And what ideas are better than yours?” . But there is a correct answer to these “wrong questions”: “Believe in yourself:”.

However, the phrase "Believe in yourself" is very abstract. “What exactly should I believe about myself?” is the question worth asking in this case. And a good answer would be: “Believe in those ideas of yours that help you be successful, free, happy and rich spiritually and physically.”

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

And we come to the idea that we need faith. But you only need faith in selected ideas. In ideas that free us from belief in limiting ideas. And then it’s very easy to evaluate your ideas and the ideas of other people. It is enough to ask one simple question: “Does this idea limit me or free me?” and everything falls into place. If it limits - “I don’t believe it!” , if it releases "I Believe!" . And at the same time, you should be prepared for an instant change of idea. After all, ossification in faith gives rise to inflexibility, which leads to failure.

Success is flexibility in actions to achieve a goal. Success is given to us by our ideas, which justify the possibility of some result for us. We can say that effectiveness depends on the ideas that make up our personality, on our “ideological field”. It turns out that we need flexibility in using our ideas. We need to be able to change ideas if they bother us, and this will be enough to be successful in the world of things.

And then it’s time to return to our lake (Have you forgotten about it yet?).

Let's go back to the moment when we first learned about it. We can say that the existence of the lake depends on whether you believe in it or not. If you believe it, even the bathtub in your home will become this lake for you. After all, the lake is in the world of your ideas and nowhere else. And in your world you are the Creator, so you can turn any body of water into a magical lake.

An idea is the basis of a habit. Remember what I said at the beginning that you have a habit of being unhappy? It is based on some idea of ​​yours about under what conditions you can be happy. This idea limits you. After all, you are still unhappy. This means that by replacing the idea, you will become happy and you will not need any external reasons. You changed main reason- your idea of ​​happiness.

World of success.

Let's move on to the next stage of our task. Let me remind you (for the forgetful :-)), the second condition of our task:

Second, everyone can dive, as I already said, but the magical layer of water begins seven seconds after you run out of air in your lungs at the stage of your physical development that you have now. Let me explain, if you, for example, can now hold out under water for 20 seconds, then in order to reach the magic layer, you need to not only hold out for 27 seconds, but also actively row into the depths. That is, in reality you now need about 15 more seconds to your breathing reserve, in total, 35 seconds. Well, if you are an athlete and stand under water for a minute, add another 27 seconds to it.

I’m writing these lines, and I can still see the lake, with crowds of people on the shore. Someone is standing, looking thoughtfully at the water. Someone is in a hurry to undress and dive. Someone has already surfaced and is leaving, disappointed. In general, most people are disappointed, and it shows on their faces. Only a few emerge with a satisfied smile from ear to ear. They visited this layer. The rest look at them with poorly hidden anger and envy or try not to look at all. Someone shouts that they are lying and there is no layer at all. A bunch on the side prays to the “holy lake”. A couple of people plant a landmine. These are terrorists. The police are shouting into a megaphone: Children are crying: In general, everything is like in life:

From life experience I know that, again, out of 100% of people who come to the lake, only 5% will reach the magical layer. The rest will leave with nothing. Now remember that 100% of those who came are 5% of the 100% who learned about the lake. We take these 5% of those who arrived as 100%. Of these, only 5% will reach the coveted layer. Are the statistics impressive? In numbers it will be like this:

1000 people found out.

50 arrived.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

2-3 people dived and reached the layer. Out of a thousand. Just numbers. But behind these numbers are human destinies. Unsuccessful: Broken: Just imagine the people of this thousand: Before your inner gaze: Let a line of people flash before you: Eyes.. All different: Noses: Chins: Characters: Aspirations: And now see their lives as if from the outside: On the time line : So they started going to the pool: Now some of them are being eliminated: Do you hear their excuses? Notice what thoughts are spinning in their heads.. Disappointment: Lack of self-confidence and capabilities: a few trained for six months: a few found money: There are only 50 of them:. Here they are from all over the world going to the lake: Different premonitions, different moods: Someone is sure that he will dive: Someone doubts: Here they are on the shore of the lake: The sun is blinding: or maybe it’s raining: They are undressing: Who - confidently runs into the water and swims with a flourish... Someone stands knee-deep for a long time: Decides: They begin to dive: They emerge: Disappointment: Bravado: Excuses: But here, the first one, lucky, satisfied, everything worked out for him and will continue to work out: He comes out, healthy, handsome: from a distance it seems that he is glowing all over... A loser comes out nearby: Not completely successful: He dived, but: something didn’t work out for him:

Now realize who you associated yourself with?

Here's a test for you. Your deepest moods. Your life program. And what will you do with this information, with this awareness?

But the reasons for success and failure are simple. Let's talk a little about them.

Right through. Going nowhere. In failure.

One of the conditions states that the level of physical development that you have will not allow you to achieve the required depth. There won't be enough air. Conclusion? Either give up or train, that is, go to the pool and develop your breathing.

The fact that the majority were cut off on the approaches to the pool is understandable. If everything was just like that, for free, they would dive in, but right away they need to do something else, train, in our case. Now, if only immediately:

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

I'm sure I won't open it big secret, if I say that even if there were no provisions for a supply of air, they still would not have gone anywhere. Now, if this lake were near the house:

And even if the lake was right in front of their doorstep, they still would not dive. They just don't want to be happy and rich. They lie to themselves.

At some point in my life, I made a discovery that calmed me down. I’m telling you: There was a stage in my life when I conducted 7 trainings a week. I gained experience, made money and had fun this way. Accordingly, 200 people a month passed through my hands. And I saw them more than once or twice, 2-3 times a week for a month. That is, I got to know them very thoroughly, especially since when playing the role of a coach you have to be attentive to people, that is, hear and see them, and not yourself.

And it just infuriated me that out of 100% of the participants, only 5% got the result that could be obtained. The rest came with thoughtful faces and left in the same state. Some came up and “openly” admitted that the training did not give them anything. That they were at another training, it was like this:!!!. I couldn’t understand how it was that the training worked, I tested it on myself, why didn’t they get the result? What did I do wrong? I tried again and again different ways, different approaches, and again nothing.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

But one day I came to training and took a bag of sweets with me. At the beginning of the training, when everyone was still living an ordinary life, when people had not yet entered the training state, I put candies in the center and said so that everyone could hear me: “There are candies with good luck in this bag. Whoever eats it will certainly become lucky.” ". And what do you think, everyone rushed for luck?! Where there? Out of 30 people, 3 or 4 jumped up briskly, jumped up and picked up more candy. The others sat and laughed at them. I removed the bag after 5 minutes. After the first two, two more came up, shyly and showing that, well, we know that this is all children’s bullshit, they each took some candy and went to modestly chew them. The rest were chatting about something else.

Question for you: Would you approach? Would you take it? E: Take your time to say “Yes”. Answer yourself honestly.

Well, I removed the sweets and arranged a debriefing. I asked two simple questions:

1. Why didn’t you take the candy (or did you take it)?

2. Why didn’t you take the candy (or did you take it)?

Attention, the fun begins:

Sample answers from those who took it:

Answers to the question "Why did you take it?" :

· Because I wanted: (after clarifying questions it was reformulated into - because I want to be happy).

· Because I always take the chances that life gives me (reworded as - I want to be happy and successful).

· All other answers ultimately boiled down to a simple desire - I want to be happy and successful.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Answers to the question "Why did you take it?" also do not shine with special variety:

· In order not to miss the opportunity: (reworded as - to take advantage of the opportunity:).

· To become lucky:

And what’s most interesting is that these people were already lucky, that is, rich both materially and in personal relationships, as well as simply quite happy people. Not completely, but close to it.

And now the answers of those who didn’t take the candy:

The answer to the question "Why didn't you take it?" :

· Because I don’t believe in fairy tales: (nobody wanted to clarify categorically).

· Because I don’t believe in luck: (no specification).

· Etc. and so on.

The answer to the question “Why didn’t you take it?” :

· To avoid being deceived again:

· In order not to build vain hopes:

· To: I don’t know: I just didn’t take it, that’s all:

After analysis and clarifying questions, there was only one answer: “In order not to be happy and successful:” .

And, what is most interesting, these people confirm their desire with their lives. They themselves admit that they are unsuccessful, poor and unhappy, but they do not take candy. But a person who really wants something will clutch at any straw.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

To the question: “Do you want to be happy and successful?” , and a hasty answer: “Of course, I want to:”, and the subsequent question: “So why didn’t I take advantage of the chance?”, followed by deaf silence, and then a flurry of excuses.

There is no coach in life who offers to take it. In life, everything happens ordinary and simple. Life presents chances without any warning. Clap. An idea has come to you. Clap. An offer has been received. Clap. There was an opportunity to make money. Clap. A man has appeared for love. Clap. Everything has disappeared. If you don't take it, others will.

In life, no one debriefs you and makes you realize that you missed your chance. You may not even notice a chance in life if you are not internally ready to grab any chance that comes your way.

Luck is an internal attitude to seize chances. There is no big secret to being lucky. The chances can be compared to rain. It evenly covers the entire city. Every drop is a chance. But some people don’t even notice this rain. Someone can't figure out which drop to grab. And someone takes everything that comes, and then decides what to keep and what to put into action.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Luck is simple. Be attentive to the opportunities that life gives, and everything will be fine. But in order to be attentive, you need to allow yourself to be lucky if there was no luck until this moment. And to allow it, you need to want it. And to want not formally: “Yes: I want:”, but to really want, like how you want to drink in hot weather, you are unbearably thirsty. So you need to want to be lucky. And the body, subconscious, intuition will respond to your call and one fine moment you will see that, holy shit, here it is, it turns out that it’s been lying on your nose for a year now, and I haven’t even seen it.

This insight will be similar to those moments in your life when you were looking for the keys, and they were lying on the table, which you had already looked at probably a hundred times. You don't notice the keys because you expect to see them somewhere else. But they are not there. They are on the table.

Luck is wide open eyes and, most importantly, the belief that success in your life will accompany you not sometime in the future, but today, now and always. And now I will cancel my words spoken earlier: I said that someone else is taking your chance. It is not true. In life there are probably 100 times more chances than there are people living on Earth, how can someone else take your chance if all these chances are yours?!

Well, someone took one ball, so you will have a whole bunch of them, and an endless bunch. The whole secret of luck is only in the belief that you are lucky and successful. And faith: Here you can go back up the chapter and read again about faith. And I return to my experiment, because you can write a lot about luck, and later I will definitely write.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

After doing a simple experiment (remember, with a bag of candy), I realized that people simply do not want to be successful, or rather, they are not aware of their habit of being unsuccessful and unhappy. And, as we already know, they do everything in order to confirm the correctness of their ideas, which are the basis of this habit.

How do they do it? ABOUT:. There are many different, often very sophisticated methods.

For example, let's take our magic lake: By the way, have you noticed that I write magic lake without quotes? I believe in magic. I believe in the work of my own hands, which is magic, therefore, as I wrote above, I can make any lake magical, just like you. What kind of quotes could there be here?

Strategies for failure, or those who are warned are successful, may be:

State of success.

The first thing that stops many people from moving towards their goal is time. After all, the larger the goal, the more time it takes to achieve it. And here the law of “Target Tension” applies.

Its essence is this: when a dream appears in your imagination, the world in which this dream is realized (and you see with your inner gaze the world where the dream has already become a reality) is very different from the world in which you are now.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

This gap between reality and dream creates tension in you. Imagine that you are tied to something in front with a rubber band. She pulls you forward. But the same ribbon is tied at the back, and it pulls you back. Thrust forward is the desire to carry out your plans. This desire causes both enthusiasm and joy in you. The pull back is fear, doubt, and uncertainty - in general, everything that keeps you in this life. This craving creates an internal mindset for failure in you.

Two moods collide and begin to mix with each other. And here it all depends on how you evaluate the resulting cocktail. If you rate it as a “cocktail of failure,” then naturally you will remain standing. If you appreciate the cocktail as the energy of action, you will move forward powerfully.

It's all about assessing the feeling that appears in you when you look at your dream and notice the difficulties that may prevent you from achieving it. If you say to yourself: “Yes: there are so many problems: I don’t know if I can do it,” you stand. If you say to yourself: “I wonder: How can I solve this problem and this one:?” - You are moving forward.

This is the first key point on the path to your dream - assessing your condition. Accordingly, the secret of success at this point in the journey is simple - evaluate possible difficulties as tasks, and your state as accepting a challenge, and everything will immediately spin in the wheel of life.

Well, okay, you assessed everything positively, your Power of Creation has started working, you have moved towards your goal, but, as you know from life experience, nothing big and beautiful comes to life right away. Everything takes time and skill.

About the time.

In order to develop your lungs and hold out under water for the required 40 seconds, you need to train for about six months in the pool three times a week for 45 minutes. Add here the time it takes to travel to the pool and back and you get about 2-3 hours every day that you need to devote to training. Do you have this time? Most likely no.

Our life is simply packed important matters and chores that require our presence and our actions. If you don't do something, a problem will arise. If you do it, there won't be a problem. We can generalize and say that the life of most people is a constant solution to emerging problems, and this solution takes all their time and energy.

Well, problems are simple - we have already figured out above that problems in life arise when we have ideas that require these problems to arise. No “problematic ideas” - no problems. Many people know this, but they don’t have time to change their ideas, because problems take up all their time!

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

They are caught in a vicious circle - to change the problem, you need to change the idea, and this takes time, but there is no time, since the problem takes up this time, and so on endlessly. All life. Until my death.

How to break this circle? Just stop solving problems, and start creating a future without problems, and with: And here the question arises: If there are no problems in the future, what is there?

After all, we are so accustomed to living with problems that we can no longer imagine life without them. Therefore, the expression “life without problems” has become commonplace. But this phrase already contains a problem. After all, in order to know what you want to live without, you must constantly remember what you want to live without :-). That is, if you want to live without problems, remember about the problems so that you know what you want to live without.

How does this kind of thinking create problems? Very simple. Your internal images: I wrote about them above. To remember what you want to live without, you hold the image of the problem in front of you, and with its presence it reminds you “I want to live without this:” . And since our internal images create our reality, then in reality everything turns out to be completely the opposite of what you want. You don't want problems, but they just appear. How can they not be if you constantly think about them!!!

Instead of “I want to live without problems,” it would be more correct to say “I want to live easily and happily,” but who says that?! Do you think this way about your future? Is this your phrase “I want to live easily and happily?” I think that until this moment such a phrase was not in you.

Problem thinking, which is what thinking with a problem at its center is called, is a habit that we, again, have absorbed from society. Just look around and realize that everything is built on solving problems. Your friends solve problems. In movies, heroes solve problems. Books solve problems. You solve problems. Who strives for ease and happy life? There are only a few of these, and this happy people. Join us. Use the magical goal “I want to live easily and happily.” This is a goal worth striving for. How do you think?

Let's return to the time of achieving the goal. You have started. You swim in the pool three times a week, you know why you need it. To dive into the lake and be happy. You've been swimming for a week. Swim two. Swim three. Swim four. You swim for five: And then you stop swimming: Well, how long can you really do?! When are we going to dive?!?!?!

Sound familiar? Of course it's familiar. The answer is simple, and it sounds like a question: “Are you ready? No? Then swim on:” . But, it is worth noting that if you feel that you are in shape, move forward without looking at any time schedules. Moving forward is what leads to the goal, not preparing for it. Preparation is important, but without movement:

We humans are designed in such a way that long-term efforts in one direction are not very attractive to us. We love variety. Well, what is it really like to swim for 72 weeks in a row?! It just gets boring: And we stop halfway. We are bored of doing the same thing over and over again, especially when there is no result yet. We invest and invest, but the result? Zero? Why do we need this!!!

What can you offer yourself in return? It looks like you have only two choices:

1. Do what you do and what leads you to realize your dreams.

2. Stop doing this and: go back to where you started. Into the life that did not suit you, and forget about your dream.

There seems to be no alternative. Either forward or backward. Yes, you can, of course, find a dream that is simpler, calmer, or something: And this is also the path of a loser. I call these actions - replacing a big dream with a small dream - the replacement is intact And.

It’s so easy to tell yourself that that big and beautiful dream is just a mirage, but this small and gray one is reality, and forget about your future. And even more, not just forget, but with your own hands make your tomorrow worse than today. Yes, yes, if our tomorrow is not better than today, it can only be worse.

Our life is structured in such a way that there are no straight lines in it. Either up or down. There is no straight line where we would remain ourselves yesterday. After all, if you give up one dream, you will also give up another and a third. What would such a life be like? After all, life is a constant movement towards your dreams. All life is built on dreams. Everything that surrounds us, everything that you have, was once just a dream that YOU or someone else realized and made reality. If you give up on your dreams, on what improves your life, you create a life in which everything is destroyed. After all, nothing is eternal. A new car today is an old car tomorrow. The young you today is the old you tomorrow.

All things in the world grow old and die. And only our dreams can bring something new into life to replace the old, and thereby make life not dying, but coming to life. Even your body can become younger if you direct it towards such a goal. But if this goal does not exist, your body goes where your unconscious stereotypes direct it - towards old age and death.

Scientists have long established that physically our body can live over 200 years, but show me at least one person who has a goal to live that many years? Do you know people who not only have such a goal, but are also moving towards it, that is, taking real actions? There are few such people, and you most likely are not one of them. Therefore, you will die at the age of 60, maximum 70.

To summarize this part, let’s say that in order to achieve your goal, you need to remember your peculiarity of losing interest in your dream. What to do about it? Manage your feature.

I heard a wonderful phrase from one successful businesswoman, which she said to her husband, who has a habit of being late: “Do you think I’m friends with time? Who cares!” If I allowed myself to relax, I would completely forget about the clock. there is no internal clock. But I am aware of my peculiarity and control it. Therefore, I constantly check what time it is and look at my diary: ".

Of course, this is a half measure - to control your habit. The next step will be to build a new habit into yourself, but at the first stage, control is a chance for salvation. Do you think that I am overly dramatizing the situation? No, I even soften it.

After all, if we look at giving up a dream honestly and directly, we will see that this is one of the ways to kill yourself. Yes, yes, murders, no more and no less.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

By giving up on a dream, we give up on a future that can make our lives better tomorrow than they are today. The body reacts to the absence of a future and determines the time of our life so that we die faster. Why live if there is no reason to live? And killing your body will be painful: cancer and similar diseases are signs that a person has no dreams, no goal, he has no reason to live. And if there is no reason to live, then why not die?

A strong, big dream ignites a person, and he begins to strive for it, and it’s good if this desire is aimed many years into the future, better if 150 years. After all, the body receives a signal that it will be needed for many more years. And the body responds. And he lives. And long live.

After all, what main feature old age (which for some people begins at about 30 years old)? A person understands that he has no reason to live. As soon as he understands this, and if he has not found a reason to live, then he begins to die. This is the law of life, and it is strictly observed. Things you don't need are thrown into a landfill. A body that is not needed is thrown out of life.

Let me share my observation: if you ask a person how old you are, he will answer in one of two ways:

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Do you feel the difference? “I’m only 30:”, “I’m already 30:”, which person is closer to death? What are they each preparing for? Anyone who is “only 30” is preparing for a long life. Anyone who is “already 30:” is preparing for early old age, uselessness, loneliness: He has such an unconscious goal - to quickly become old and die. That’s why he says that I’m already 30, so old age is coming soon. And, indeed, such people live 50 - 60 years, no more:

It is clear that all these words, expressions and ideas are unconscious, but this is what is important. This is a manifestation of an unconscious tendency either to long youth or to rapid old age. And, what is most interesting, people who are preparing to die usually have no goals, do not strive anywhere in a global sense, and in principle do not want anything except satisfaction of the most basic needs for food, sleep, sex and entertainment. They have no purpose, so they die quickly.

A person walking towards a goal is like a wedge of cranes flying to the South. He reaches there, forward: He knows how good it is there. Yes, of course, a person will die, but only when he reaches the South. Then he will feel satisfied with life and his life will end.

A person who flies to nowhere, spins and flutters in place, will never be satisfied with life. What should he be satisfied with? Because he ate a lot? Did you drink a lot? How many women (or men) have you tried? Did you buy a lot of things? It's all dust.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

When he dies, no one will remember him. What to remember? Relatives will be forced to travel to the grave for five years. And then it will be overgrown with grass, the tombstone will become askew, and it will be happily forgotten.

A person in death is satisfied with his life when in his life he has fulfilled such dreams that were significant not only for him and his immediate environment, but also for many people on the planet.

Here I, of course, take a controversial path. After all, you can ask: “What, everyone should do something for all people?” . Not necessary for everyone. People are different. But people unite in groups based on interests or needs. And for every interest or every need, there is a business that satisfies them. You may like one of these things, and you can do it (I call it a “calling”, and you don’t necessarily have to have one thing for your whole life. There can be many of them).

For example, you like to bake a pie. Your pies are finger licking good. All your friends and family praise you and wait for you to create your next masterpiece. You like it too. When you bake, your soul sings and you feel: Ah! How are you feeling! And when your friends eat your pies, you are so happy that you were able to please them, that it tastes good to them, that they are full. You are simply happy! And when they thank you, you feel the desire to bake even better pies next time, even tastier, even more beautiful.

Topics of the article: Potential. Chance. Hidden possibilities. Success factors. Reasons for failure.

Surely there is something similar to this story in your life? Now take it and multiply this by 100. That is, you bake pies not for three to five friends, but for 3-5000 people. You have your own small bakery. Imagine how much pleasure you will get when you know that they are happy to eat your Creation and praise you! But people really praise it. When you eat a delicious cake, you say something like, well done, you baked it deliciously. Well done who? The one who specked. So gratitude to this man flew:

This is your favorite thing and what I described above is the principle of “Giving” and “Thanksgiving”. You give people your work, your love, your business, and they thank you, that is, in return they give you a benefit, and this benefit can be either “Thank you” or “Five rubles for a pie.”

By the way, how do you feel about the fact when you need to set the cost of your labor? I often receive letters in which people say that they are doing something, but they just can’t figure out how to set a fee.

My dears, nominate boldly and directly. You've invested energy. You need to get back an adequate gift. If you don't take it, you become weaker. Why make yourself weak? Money is an important part of our lives and as common as air. There is no need to fan the fire of obscurantism around them and dance shamanic dances. Just take them in the same way as you breathe. There are no secrets here. Just allow yourself to breathe calmly.

And don't listen to different ones clever phrases, like “Strength is not in money, brother:” or “We are poor, but we are honest.” These are all just ways people justify their lack of money. Yulechka (you know her) is a poet and regularly goes to meetings where poets meet, share their work, and generally hang out. I came and looked at her: It’s interesting: Creative people: How I felt sorry for them. They are really hungry, poorly dressed, angry from such a life: And they write poetry: Do you know how they justify their life? Pearl “We, poets, where do we get our money from: But we have a rich inner world:” . These are not only words, but this is also the life that these words create: I don’t want to live like this: It would be better if they said, for example, like this: “We, poets, are Creative people, and therefore rich:.” This phrase would be much more useful:

In general, I noticed that people who don’t have money are even proud of the fact that they don’t have it. So, they say, you see, I get a penny a month, but I survive! Yes, they survive. But when will they live? Live and survive: I Live, and every day it gets better. People live next to me. And they survive: And if you offer them to start Living and say that there are ways to change their ideas to make Life easier, do you know how many objections you will hear about the impossibility of this?!

Well, okay, there will be a separate article about money: Let’s get to that: Let’s continue to analyze the reasons that stop us in our tracks and prevent us from being successful, including with money.

Success means achievement, luck, high result.

In the context of our study, it is advisable to pay attention to the definition of success proposed by A.S. Belkin, who considers this concept from different positions.

From a socio-psychological point of view, success is the optimal relationship between the expectations of others, the individual and the results of his activities. Moreover, we can speak of success in cases where the individual’s expectations coincide or exceed the expectations of others who are most significant to the individual.

From a psychological point of view, success is the experience of a state of joy, satisfaction from the fact that the result that a person strived for in his activities either coincided with his expectations, hopes (with the level of aspirations), or exceeded them.

In the pedagogical process, in our opinion, the greatest attention is paid not so much to the concept of success, but to the concept of “success situation”, but to such a purposeful, organized combination of conditions under which it is possible to satisfy the need to achieve significant results in the activities of both an individual and a team generally.

Meanwhile, the concept of success, with all its positive connotations, does not completely satisfy us, since, from our point of view, it has a certain momentary, that is, static essence, and although, according to A.S. Belkin, if success arises from day to day, then a habit of joy arises, which is associated with the loss of acuity of perception and, therefore, the incentives to achieve it, we consider it necessary to use the concept of success in our research. This concept, from our point of view, is characterized, on the one hand, by processuality (which is associated with such optimal principles, noted above, as rhythm, continuity and progressive variability), and on the other hand, includes the unity of opposites - the joy of achieving success and grief from incomplete achievement.

P.P. Blonsky in his work “Pedology” also examines the problem of school success and the factors that determine it. The main factor that the scientist highlights is the health of students.

The scientist identifies the following factors for the success of training:

Performance;

Mental development;

Organization;

Interest in learning.

Performance, according to P.P. Blonsky, is highly dependent on health. It is quite obvious that a more or less serious illness creates a break in learning. Less obvious is the connection between academic underachievement and what is called poor health. However, there is a big connection here too. Repeated anthropometric measurements of low-achieving students have firmly established that, on average, low-achieving students are shorter, lighter, thinner, and have narrower chests than their peers who are academically successful. Of course, there are exceptions. But the bulk of underachievers, especially the so-called last students, are just like that.

Poor performance can be caused not only by poor health and fatigue. Poor performance may also be due to psychological reasons, due to inability to work. Experimental studies by P.P. Blonsky discovered a strong connection between the ability to work and academic performance. The experiment consisted of asking the child to solve difficult mazes while observing his behavior. The comparative material thus obtained on the best and worst students was compared with the characteristics of the work of these students by their teachers.

If mental development influences academic success, then, of course, school, in turn, influences mental development. Thus, school greatly accelerates the pace of children's mental development.

The complete opposite of retarded children are highly developed children. Medically, they are characterized by the rarity of adenoids, chronic runny nose, hearing defects, poor nutrition and a history of rickets.

In developed children, the ease and speed with which they learn is striking. new material, as well as the strength and stability of attention. These children are also distinguished by their ability to generalize and quickly understand: they quickly grasp the essence, capture and connect similarities, and anticipate results. Thus, they are characterized by good attention, higher associations and understanding.

A developed child is characterized by the versatility of his interests. He is usually interested not in one thing, but in many things, and this sometimes leads to a scattering of interests. However, at the same time, they have the ability to this moment to get very involved in something. They are very inquisitive, but not passive in their curiosity. They bombard the teacher with questions. Their works are distinguished by originality and creativity. They usually have well-developed speech, especially written.

The uniqueness of developed children appears not only in their intelligence, interests and speech, but also in their character. They are usually very proactive and at the same time restrained and distinguished by self-control and a sense of responsibility. They have the ability to deal with people and often enjoy authority among their comrades. It is from them that the leaders usually emerge.

In addition to efficiency, mental development and organization, learning also requires an interest in learning and a desire to learn. Not all children, however, have this desire. A comparative study of the interests of the best and underachieving students reveals a great difference in these interests. For example, one of these surveys of third grade students showed that while a quarter of the best students from school activities Most of all, he likes to write; among those who fail, there are almost no such people. But a quarter of the last students play on musical instruments, and of the best - only a few. The best students prioritize intellectual and technical studies, while the worst students prioritize sports and artistic pursuits (cinema, music, drawing). The best students have multifaceted interests, i.e. they can, while loving science and technology, at the same time love sports and art. The worst students have more limited and more primitive interests.

Students with little interest in learning are considered lazy. It is common to think that a lazy student does not want to learn at all. This is not entirely true: the vast majority of lazy students have a consciousness of the need to study and work (this consciousness is constantly instilled in them by educators), but it is outweighed by other interests - of an extracurricular nature.

It is common to think that lazy children are weak, exhausted, and their laziness is, as it were, the body’s defense against overwork. Indeed, among the lazy there are some (usually girls), but they are only a very small part of the total number of lazy students. In most cases, as the examination of P.P. showed. Blonsky, lazy students, on the contrary, for the most part are just healthy, strong, very lively and active children. Excess energy causes them to crave entertainment associated with an abundance of movement (very active games, sports, swimming, etc.) They do not like not only sedentary activities, but also sedentary games. Among them, a huge percentage are boys. These lazy students are often also disruptors. Almost all of them, of course, study poorly.

The third category of lazy students are students who became lazy because they ended up in a class that was sharply inappropriate for their preparation. In this case, they stop studying, since “nothing will come of it anyway” (if the class is too high for of this student) or “I already know everything” (if, on the contrary, the group is too low for the student).

The concept of school success is inseparable from the opposite concept - school failure. Many researchers have noted the conventionality and relativity of the concept of “failure.” A.A. Budarny and U.D. Rosenthal is right that the content of the concept of “failure” largely depends on the established rules for transferring students to the next grade. Since the school transfers to the next grade those who meet the minimum requirements corresponding to a score of “three,” failure is expressed by points of “two” and “one” and can be defined as non-compliance with the minimum requirements].

In the psychological and pedagogical literature, the ineffectiveness of the educational and developmental aspects of school activities is covered very poorly. No measurement system has yet been invented for “failure,” even one as imperfect and criticized for decades as school grades. Thus, modern science states that the concept of school success/failure is even more relative and uncertain than the concept of failure.

School failure is understood as a situation in which behavior and learning outcomes do not meet the educational and didactic requirements of the school.

Failure is expressed in the fact that the student has weak reading and counting skills, poor intellectual skills of analysis, generalization, etc. systematic failure leads to pedagogical neglect, which is understood as a complex of negative personality qualities that contradict the requirements of the school and society. This phenomenon is extremely undesirable and dangerous from a moral, social, and economic point of view. Educationally neglected children often drop out of school and join risk groups. Failure is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon of school reality, requiring versatile approaches to its study.

Failure is interpreted as inadequacy of students’ preparation mandatory requirements schools in the acquisition of knowledge, development of skills and experience, formation of experience creative activity and good manners of cognitive relationships. Preventing underachievement involves timely detection and elimination of all its elements.

The failure of schoolchildren is naturally associated with their individual characteristics and with the conditions in which their development takes place. Pedagogy recognizes the teaching and upbringing of children at school as the most important of these conditions.

The study of the problem is increasingly associated with a wide range of social issues, involves the use of data from all sciences about man, the individual, and personality.

One of these approaches is to analyze the conditions that give rise to failure. So, M.A. Danilov connects failure with the driving forces of the learning process - its contradictions. According to this position, failure occurs when the contradictory unity of students' capabilities and what is required of them is disrupted. Similar thoughts are expressed by V. Okon, who defines academic failure as a violation of interaction between students, teachers and external conditions.

However, studies carried out in line with this approach cannot be considered sufficient; they are aimed at clarifying external relations phenomena and leave its internal structure in the shadows.

A lag is a failure to fulfill requirements (or one of them), which occurs at one of the intermediate stages within that segment of the educational process that serves as a time frame for determining academic performance. The word “backlog” denotes both the process of accumulating non-fulfillment of requirements and each individual case of such non-fulfillment, i.e., one of the moments of this process.

The inconsistency of such understanding and terminology lies in the very essence of the phenomenon under study: the process of lag consists of acts of lag.

Failure and lag are interconnected. Failure as a product synthesizes individual lags; it is the result of the lag process. Various backlogs, if they are not overcome, grow, intertwine with each other, and ultimately form failure.

To answer the question of why a lag is possible, we must first look at the factors of success.

In the capabilities of children, two closely related aspects are distinguished - physical capabilities (the state of the body and its development) and mental capabilities (the development of thinking, memory, imagination, perception, attention). When developing requirements for students, specialists in each academic subject are guided by a certain standard of capabilities of children of a particular school age.

Social conditions (in in a broad sense words) as a factor of academic performance also interact with children’s capabilities. These are the conditions in which children live, study, are raised, living conditions, the cultural level of parents and environment, class size, school equipment, teacher qualifications, availability and quality educational literature, and much more. And this factor, one way or another, is taken into account when determining the content of training.

For the success of training and education, it is important to form in students an adequate assessment of their achievements and strengthen their faith in their abilities. Only such self-esteem can support the desire to work independently and creatively.

From the provisions discussed above, a system of performance indicators can be constructed. Fulfilling these requirements provides the most information about academic performance:

first - to make at least one indirect conclusion, to combine existing knowledge, skills and abilities in obtaining new knowledge;

second - to apply existing knowledge, skills and abilities in a new situation, selecting them and combining them, making separate indirect conclusions;

third, to strive for knowledge of a theoretical nature and to obtain it independently;

fourth - actively overcome difficulties in the process of creative activity;

fifth - strive to evaluate your achievements in cognitive activity.

Failure to comply with the totality of these requirements characterizes poor academic performance of schoolchildren.

The following deficiencies in a student’s educational activities are considered elements of poor performance:

1) does not possess the minimum necessary operations of creative activity, combining and using existing knowledge, skills and abilities in a new situation);

2) does not seek to obtain new knowledge of a theoretical nature;

3) avoids the difficulties of creative activity and is passive when confronted with them;

4) does not seek to evaluate his achievements;

5) does not strive to expand his knowledge, improve his skills;

6) did not understand the concepts in the system.

These features constitute the signs of the concept of “underachievement” for those educational subjects, in which the leading role belongs to creative activities based on knowledge, skills and abilities.

Failure, as a result, is characterized by the presence of all elements. In the process of learning, individual elements may arise, and they appear as delays.

All underachieving schoolchildren are characterized, first of all, by weak self-organization in the learning process: the absence of developed ways and techniques of educational work, the presence of a stable incorrect approach to learning.

Underachieving students do not know how to learn. They do not want or cannot carry out logical processing of the topic they are learning. These schoolchildren do not work systematically in lessons and at home, and if they find themselves faced with the need to prepare a lesson, they either do it hastily, without analyzing the educational material, or resort to repeated reading of it in order to memorize it, without delving into the essence of what they are learning. These students do not work on systematizing the knowledge they are acquiring and do not establish connections between new material and old. As a result, the knowledge of underachievers is unsystematic and fragmented.

This approach to learning leads to systematic intellectual underload, which in turn leads to a significant decrease in the rate of mental development of these students and further increases their lag behind their classmates.

Low self-organization of underachieving schoolchildren is also manifested in a low level of mastery of such mental functions as memory, perception, imagination, as well as in the inability to organize their attention; as a rule, underachieving schoolchildren are inattentive in lessons. Perceiving educational material, they do not seek to recreate it in the form of images, paintings.

First and most important factor The development of negative character traits is reluctance to study, aversion of an underachieving child to all kinds of educational work. Persistent difficulties in mastering the material, a constant feeling of failure naturally lead to the fact that such children avoid the very process of preparing lessons, tear up notebooks, hide textbooks, and cry in response to school demands. They begin to skip classes, lie at home, deceive, say that “nothing is assigned,” and at school they say that “I forgot my books at home,” etc. In these actions, emotional distortion and the beginnings of negative character traits begin to be seen already in the first six months, during the first year of study. Such behavioral characteristics are formed very quickly and by the second half of the year such children are very noticeable in public school.

By this time (that is, by the second grade), the next factor is added - conflictual relationships with teachers. At first glance, it seems that these relationships are negative; there is even an opinion that teachers are biased towards low-achieving children. Teachers treat them rudely, shout at them, make insulting remarks, complain to parents, discuss with each other open form, in front of other schoolchildren. At the same time, conversations and careful observation make it possible to understand that this behavior of teachers is caused by helplessness, inability to work with such children, special attention to them, and minimal academic success. All available means are used here. With a raised tone, notations and moralizing, teachers try to attract the attention of low-performing students and include them in academic work, make you study.

A persistent conflict situation leads to the fact that underachieving children, through a short time They begin to be insolent in response, be rude to the teacher, defiantly leave lessons, and disrupt the educational process. In underachieving schoolchildren, various negative character traits arise and become consolidated - conflict, anger, affective excitability.

Similar problems arise for persistently underachieving children in relation to their parents. Parental behavior is even more complex and contradictory. Most often, parents of unsuccessful students have complaints about the school, blame teachers (“they teach poorly”), curriculum, but when observed in an informal setting, it is clearly visible that these same parents constantly reproach their children with academic problems. Tired children are put to work on homework immediately after school, sit with them, hire tutors, often use physical punishment, shout “mediocre...lazy”, etc. Thus, parents completely lose the trust of their children and exacerbate their problems with constant conflicts. home environment and their underachieving children begin to go to the “street”. Leaving home becomes a constant, returning home late in the evening; children lie in every possible way, trying to get out of the current situation. This happens by the end of third grade.

Identifying the types of underachieving schoolchildren can also be considered as a way to gain insight into the essence of failure.

Although underachieving students share common characteristics, they differ significantly from each other. In the practice of everyday work with them, in each specific case of failure, we encounter completely new features that require the search for new ways of an individual approach. Such “many faces” of school failure creates significant difficulties in the work of teachers to overcome it. A long-term study of school failure gives reason to conclude that it has typical manifestations. The type of underachieving schoolchild is characterized by a peculiar combination of the most important personality traits that have developed as a result of long-term underachievement, which determines his achievements in academic work.

Many authors base their typology of underachieving schoolchildren on the causes of underachievement they have studied. This is what L.S. does, in particular. Slavina: she identifies types of underachievers for a dominant reason. One group of underachievers consists of those students who lack effective motives for learning, another - children with weak learning abilities, the third - with incorrectly formed skills educational work and those who do not know how to work. The same method is used by A.A. Budarny, Yu.K. Babansky and some other authors. This type of typology does not provide knowledge about the internal structure of academic failure.

There are attempts to build a typology on other grounds, in particular on the characteristics of students’ educational work and the structure of their personality. This approach can be found in P.P. Blonsky, who, while compiling a general typology of schoolchildren, also identified types of underachievers. This is, firstly, the type he called a “bad worker.” Its features are the following:

1) perceives assignments inattentively, often does not understand them, but does not ask the teacher questions or ask for clarification;

2) works passively (constantly needs incentives to move on to the next type of work);

3) does not notice his failures and difficulties;

4) does not have a clear idea of ​​the goal, does not plan and organize his work;

5) either works very sluggishly or reduces the pace gradually;

6) is indifferent to the results of work.

The indicated features of an underachieving schoolchild, since they characterize his activities in educational process, can be used in determining academic failure. Another identified type is called pathological - these are emotional schoolchildren, often having failures in their studies, who encounter a specific attitude towards themselves from others. They say “I can’t” before starting work, need approval from others, and have a hard time with difficulties and failures.

A psychological typology of academic failure is given by N.I. Murachkovsky: the basis in this case is the nature of the relationships between the most significant aspects of the personality of schoolchildren.

The division of underachieving schoolchildren into types can be carried out depending on the nature of the relationship between the two main groups of schoolchildren’s personality traits:

Features of mental activity associated with learning ability.

The orientation of the student’s personality, which determines his attitude to learning.

On this basis, three types of underachieving schoolchildren are identified:

Underachieving students, who are characterized by low quality of mental activity with a positive attitude towards learning and maintaining the position of a student.

Students with relatively high level development of mental activity with a negative attitude towards learning and partial or complete loss of the student’s position.

3. Underachievers, who are characterized by a low quality of mental activity with a negative attitude towards learning and a complete loss of the position of a student, manifested in the desire to leave school.

Failure in school is always based not on one reason, but on several, and they often act in combination. Among them are: imperfect teaching methods, lack of positive contact with the teacher, fear of being better than other students, high talent in any particular area, unformed thought processes, etc.

The teacher’s activities to prevent academic failure require that when a gap is detected, measures are promptly taken to eliminate it. In the literature, the choice of measures is usually associated only with the reasons for academic failure, which, of course, is not enough. This overlap in theory and practice is due to the fact that the concept of “underachievement” does not highlight its elements and does not identify signs of lag.

Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:

A situation of success is a combination of conditions that ensure success, and success itself is the result of such a situation. A situation is something that a teacher can organize. Experiences of joy and success are phenomena that evoke a feeling of self-sufficiency, psychological comfort, and emotional stability.

The concept of success, or “success situation” of high school students is naturally associated with their individual characteristics and the conditions in which their development takes place. Pedagogy recognizes the training and education of high school students at school as the most important of these conditions.

In the psychological and pedagogical literature on effectiveness, very little is said about the success of school activities and the means of increasing it. Thus, fundamental in this sense is the work of P.P. Blonsky “Pedology”, which characterizes the success factors of schoolchildren. Also important is the work of A.S. Belkin, who defines the situation of success as “the only source internal forces a child who gives birth to energy to overcome difficulties and a desire to learn.”

Why do you think some projects and companies can achieve success, while others face constant failure? And the answer to this question is quite simple - there are the main factors for achieving a company’s success, which have been used by entrepreneurs and corporations for the past 50 years. And this is not surprising, because their creator has provided a lot of evidence of the effectiveness of this tool.

You're unlikely to listen to the advice of a fat nutritionist or an exhausted therapist. It's the same in business. Any company that engages in management consulting must set an example of prosperity. The creator of the management tool Key Factors for the Company's Success was Ron Daniel in 1961. He explained from a scientific point of view the mechanism of success of departments and the company as a whole.

What are the key success factors?

A key success factor (KSF) is a certain number of areas of activity, the achievement of high results in which guarantees success for a person, company or division in competition. Simply put, these are the factors or areas on which you need to concentrate your attention in order to...

For example, CFU is the opening of a new store with more favorable purchasing conditions. Actually, due to this, KPIs will be achieved. And the KPI is, let’s say, there should be 10 new clients per week.

An unsuccessful, unlucky person, as a rule, has a rather vague idea of ​​what he wants from life.

One of the simplest exercises you can do to get lucky is to simply take a piece of paper and write a list of 10 goals, what you want to achieve within 12 months. Agree, this is really a VERY simple exercise!

However, only 10% of the population does this. Amazingly, it is these 10% who today receive all the benefits that others only dream of.

They invest time in developing themselves, in developing their business or career.

Millionaires also noted that throughout their lives they were willing to work harder and longer than the people around them.

Agree, it is not surprising that they, like marathon runners, gradually pulled ahead and then “ran away” further than others.

And the famous writer Stephen Leocock once said: “I believe in luck! The more I work, the luckier I become.”

If you want you to be lucky, find the energy in yourself that will help you do more things during the day than others. And luck will turn its face towards you.
