    Generally when we think about our success, we will automatically think about the material wealth; something that we have wanted a long time but then, this is only a part of success. In other words, we need first to know the greater meaning of success. Here are some simple techniques on how you can achieve the real success in your life faster then ever.

    Don't Fear the Consequences

    Whether it's choosing between new cars versus a bigger house, or even who to marry, almost every decision we make entails predicting the future. We imagine how our choices will make us feel, and we usually go for the option we think will make us the happiest.

    The problem with this sort of “affective forecasting” is that we aren't very good at it. The major factor leading us to make bad prediction is “loss aversion” - the belief that a loss will hurt more than a corresponding gain will please. Always remember that whatever the future holds, it will probably hurt or please you less than you imagine.

    Go With Your Gut

    While it's tempting to think that good decisions require time, sometimes an instinctive choice is just as good, if not better. Researchers found that we make judgments about a person's competence, trustworthiness, aggressiveness, like ability and attractiveness within the first hundred million seconds of seeing a new face.

    The market found that observers hardly revised their views; they only became more confident in their snap decisions. It stands to reason that extra information can help you make rational decisions. Yet paradoxically, sometimes the more information you have, the better off you may be going with your instincts.

    Consider Your Emotions

    You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, but in fact they are integral to it. Whenever you make up your mind, your limbic system - the brain's emotional centre - is active. The researchers has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat.

    However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can seriously affect the outcome. All emotions affect our thinking and motivation, so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. In fact many studies show that depressed people have the most realistic take on the world.

    Have Someone Else Choose

    We tend to believe we will be happier making our decisions. Yet, no matter the outcome, the process of making a decision can sometimes leave us feeling dissatisfied. Then, it may be better to relinquish control.

    Most of the cases, the choosers could not give themselves credit even if they ended up with a good option, yet still felt burdened by the thought that they might not have chosen the best alternative. Even when choosers had a little information - though not enough to feel responsible for the outcome - they felt no happier choosing than being chosen for.

    Limit Your Options

    More choice makes more demands on your information - processing skills, and the process can be confusing and time - consuming. Greater choice also increases the chances of making a mistake, so you feel less satisfied because of a fear that you have missed a better opportunity.

    Instead of searching for your ideal camera, ask a friend if he is happy with his. If he is, it probably does for you too. Even in situations when a choice seems far too important to simply satisfied, try to limit the number of options you consider.

    Success in Life Not Simple

    Always remember that the success in life is not simple as science and mathematics that has a formula. Sometimes, you cannot even compute its chances and possibilities. The stage of success may vary depending on the individual status. By following to the above secret of success factors, it's may help you to achieve the great success in your life.

    提到成功,我們想起物資財富,想起渴望已久的事物,但這些只是成功的部分含義……換句話說,我們首先得明白成功的含義遠不僅于此。如何更快地獲取生命中真正的成功,本文提出了一些簡單的技巧。……要時刻牢記成功并不是一件簡單的事。 通常提到成功,我們腦海里自動浮現出物資財富,渴望已久的事物,但這些,只是成功的部分含義。換句話說,我們首先得明白成功的含義遠不僅于此。如何更快的獲取生命中真正的成功,這里有一些簡單的技巧。 

    不要恐懼結果 不論是選擇新車或豪宅,還是選擇和誰結婚,在做決定時,我們幾乎都要預測未來的情形。我們想象著我們的決定會給自己帶來怎樣的感受,然后往往選擇了那些會讓我們感覺更幸福的做法。 

    這種帶有感情傾向的預測的問題在于,我們并不十分擅長預測。影響我們做出負面預測的主要因素是對失敗的厭惡感——失敗帶來的壞處比成功得到的好處大得多。時刻謹記不管未來怎樣,現在所做的選擇給我們帶來的挫敗感或愉悅感,很可能都比想象得要小。 

    跟著直覺走 人們常認為花費時間推敲才能做出好的決定,然而在沒有其他選擇的情況下,憑直覺而行也是不錯的做法。研究者發現,在見到一張陌生臉孔后的100秒內,我們即對這人的能力,可信度,侵略性,以及能干與否和是否有魅力做出了判斷。 

    市場調查發現,這些觀察者很難修正他們的觀感,他們只是越來越確信自己倉促間的判斷。顯而易見的是,額外的信息有助于做出合理的判斷。然而荒謬的是,有時,我們擁有的信息越多,做出的決定就越偏離我們本能的判斷。 

    考慮自己的情感 你也許會認為,感情用事是決策的大敵。但實際上,感性認識與決策過程是渾然一體的。做任何決定,人的腦邊緣系統——大腦的情感中心——都在運作著。研究者發現,大腦的支配情感的部分受損,則此人連基本的衣食都無法自理。 

    然而,在情緒的支配下做出的決定能嚴重的影響事情的結果。所有的情感都影響著我們的想法和行為,所以,避免在情緒沖動時做出決定是上策。事實上,許多研究表明,抑郁的人對世界的觀感是最為現實。 請他人幫忙決定 我們樂于相信,做出自己的決定后會更快樂。然而,不管結果如何,做決定的過程有時就讓我們備受困擾。這種情況下,放棄決定權也許更好。 絕大多數情形是,做出選擇的人的并不信任自己的選擇,即使最終自己的決定是可行的,他們仍然會感到困擾:自己也許沒有做出最好的選擇。有時做出選擇的人即使知道他們尚且不必對結果負全責,也寧愿自己是被選擇的一方,而非做出選擇的一方。 

    限制自己的可選項 更多的可選項,意味著對信息的要求更高——需要更高信息處理的技巧,且處理過程變得混亂及耗時。更多的可選項也增加了犯錯的可能性,使你會因害怕錯過一個更好的機會而倍感困擾。 

    讓一個愿意陪伴你的朋友,陪著你去尋找理想的相機,而不是一個人孤身前往。對你和對他都有好處。就算在一個重要的難以做出滿意決策的場合,也請設法限定你可以選擇的做法。 成功并不簡單 謹記,獲取成功不像科學或者數學那么簡單,有既定的公式。有時,你甚至不能計算它的幾率及可能性。而且成功的階段也因人而異。遵循上述影響成功因素的秘訣,有助于成就生命中的偉業。
