  Work belongs to one of the most important preconditions for individual self-fulfillment in the people’s life. Our occupation and career are inextricably linked to our self-awareness as a significant member of society. The psychologists affirm that this significance is the core need for people to feel full-fledged and happy.  Indeed, how many times a life we ask ourselves “who we are?” and “what is our social value?” Not once, is not it? Moreover, day by day we make tremendous efforts to get an incredibly satisfactory answer to them one day in future. One can say that it is the only right way to live a decent life and it sounds a rather convincing.  However, there are other questions we should answer honestly “do we have a life beyond our office?” and “how much time do we spend with our families?” We can bet that you would not be able to remark the border between these two spheres of your life and when you succeed in this the answer will unlikely be in favor of family.

  The relationships that we have in our lives help to form who we are as a person; who we surround ourselves with speaks mountains about us, and  to  us. Our friends represent who we wish to become, who we identify with, and who we care about. It's very common, though, for us to get involved in friendships that are not beneficial or perhaps even healthy for us. Some people will call themselves your friend, but they can be detrimental to you. When you find the right friends, however, the tried and true friends, it just feels  right . They are there for you to lean on and vice versa. True, supportive friends become family. These friendships just feel right and take very little effort to uphold.

  Four usages of Luck 1. Luck as superstition This is typified by the belief that future good or bad luck can be influenced by such things as: actions that one might do deliberately (blowing out all the candles of a birthday cake) or  accidentally  (breaking a mirror) or that happen near you (black cat) or even by abstract associations (the number 13); or possession of talismanic objects. Here I have used American examples but all cultures have their own superstitions. What makes such beliefs be superstition, of course, is that one can't point to any causal connection. I mentioned "future events", but believing that past bad luck was caused by a hex would be another superstition. 2. Retrospective luck A short definition of (good) luck is when the outcome of a chance event is favorable to the individual under consideration. Most of us, looking at our individual past experiences, would find instances where we consider we were lucky or unlucky, and this is what I mean by ...

  Personality traits reflect people’s characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Personality traits imply consistency and stability—someone who scores high on a specific trait like Extraversion is expected to be sociable in different situations and over time. Thus, trait psychology rests on the idea that people differ from one another in terms of where they stand on a set of basic trait dimensions that persist over time and across situations. The most widely used system of traits is called the Five-Factor Model. This system includes five broad traits that can be remembered with the acronym OCEAN: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Each of the major traits from the Big Five can be divided into facets to give a more fine-grained analysis of someone's personality. In addition, some trait theorists argue that there are other traits that cannot be completely captured by the Five-Factor Model. Critics of the trait concept argue t...
