The human personality, within its dynamics and complexity, offers enough space to knowledge and testing of specific factors. The self-assessment made with the help of well-structured questions and included in a specific thematic test can strengthen our effort to achieve real, visible, high-performance goals, giving a certain distinction to each personality. If we connect with the title of this test, inevitably, at the level of common sense knowledge, we will face the duality between the success and failure. Of course, we relate both to our inner feelings, but also to the micro or macro social context that we are part of. Success is not a permanent existential and mental state. The effort must be continuous, with nuances of rapid adaptability to new situations. We can have a lot of confidence in ourselves, in the conditions of identifying optimal and realistic solutions in the space of future actions.
Failures can have perverse forms of expression, but they will delimit a possibly closed mental past and offer the chance for a new business or success.( Author, P.Carter)

Assessment
Since there are factors that by being combined lead to varying degrees of success for each person, it can be said that there is no single secret of success.
Also, there is no single definition of success, because what one person considers to be successful can mean something completely different to another person. In general, however, success means gaining the things we aspire to in our life and it is the positive result of all our efforts.
For many, success means being happy and content, and having a secure job with a minimum of responsibility in order to ensure their and their families security and a regular and steady income. For others, success is defined by power, social status, and money, and if they operate in the business field, they will not find rest until they reach the top of the corporate ladder. Finally, for others, success simply means surviving.
Regardless of the degree of success they aspire to, successful people tend to set goals. These goals, which should be significant yet realistic challenges, can be something they want or need, and carry them from where they are now to where they want to be in the immediate or more distant future. The goals they set can only be achieved if they know what they want in life and if they take the necessary actions to achieve it. Sometimes, they will need to have the flexibility to change their own actions in order to achieve the proposed targets.
It is always necessary to reach the right balance in order to achieve most of the goals we have set in both our professional and personal lives. If we cannot achieve that balance, one part of our life will probably suffer at the expense of another.
A keyword on the road to success is „perseverance.” Many successful people have overcome many obstacles before fulfilling their aspirations. It is important to constructively address any obstacles and learn from them in order to quickly turn a possible failure into success and regain the control. Every difficulty that gets in our way should strengthen our spirit and every obstacle should make us even more determined to succeed.
Keywords on the road to success: positive thinking, motivation, adaptability, optimism, persistence, commitment, energy, self-confidence, diligence”
