Personality and Success

Do you agree, disagree or not sure about the following questions?

• I can change myself to be the person I want to be.
• People can't change their personality.
  
• If you don't have goals, you'll never accomplish anything.
• God has a plan for my life.
• I would never marry someone my parents didn't approve of.
• You can never predict what life will bring. The important thing is to handle things well as they happen.
• When bad things happen to you, it's not your fault.

Am I the master of my fate?

Sometimes we feel that we know exactly where we are going and what we are doing. At other times we feel lost and confused, and we don't know who is in charge of our lives. Can we really control eveything that happens to us? How much depends on us and how much on our luck? How much on other people? How much on powers we don't understand?

1. Am I like a leaf floating in a river, going where the river takes me?
   
2. Am I the captatin of a powerful boat, using the river to go wherever I want?
3. Am I an arrow, flying from the bow of an archer who knows where I must go?
4. Am I a small part in a large machine, necessary for the machine to work?
