Success is originally the general result, consequence or the effect of acting.

Term development

Originally with the word taking place and/or the process of an event was only described. In this sense still Johann Wolfgang von Goethe formulates: "that it whole success told"".

Success keeps the meaning of a first worth-free, neutral result only later.

For what was named "success" later, first terms served such as victory or luck. With the spirit of the industrialism the category of success took the positively evaluated on position, which was described before with both terms.

Since the term victory exhibited a rather global dimension, it showed itself for as a privately understood character of employers as unsuitable. Just as little seemed the luck term for the new situation suitably, presupposed these nevertheless fateful assistance from other side (God, the coincidence o.a.).

Success became progressing which is based on the own achievement (see "progress") on a goal. Like economic growing a crucial meaning came to the success. Thus each single step became on this goal success. Success became the goal.

On the other side the term failure arisen at that time described the miss of an enterprise.

Success components

Today acting and success stand in a clear, well-planned connection. Success is generally understood as reaching a defined or as worthwhile a recognized goal. This goal can refer to the development of humans or to material components. The complex reference framework, the view of the respective system and the associated evaluation components lead to the problem of an objective success definition. In which form or with which expenditure goals are achieved "successfully", depends on the respective cultural point of view.

In the western society success is connected with the reaching of publicised ideals. As successful the wealthy one is not regarded, which can buy luxury cars, mansions or social reputation due to outside circumstances (inheritance, win in Lotto). Is successful, who has success (Napoleon Hill 1937), in business, politics or with the other sex. In principle "success" can be accepted as a contribution for the increase of the survivability of a natural, social or artificial system.

The psychology concerns itself empirically with causes (specializedlinguistic determinants) of success. If it concerns success into school and education, the educational psychology is the central discipline. Enterprises measure against it only their material successes. The developing social capital made of confidence, personal network as well as values and standards of the coworkers remains unconsidered in balance as well as profit and loss calculation. Substantial factors for lasting successes are behavior, intelligence, knowledge, culture and motivation whether for personal goals, company targets or social goals.

Success methods - success religions

With the industrialization at the beginning 20. Century displaced economic elite the old elite from aristocracy and military. 1927 appeared the Bible of all success methods, the book Think and grow rich ("think after and become rich") by Napoleon Hill. Since then with Dale Carnegie, Joseph Murphy and Stuart savage further Erfolgspropheten were added. Of a success religion one can speak, if with the success ways rituals and ceremonies are connected, which resemble those from religions. The faith in the methodical feasibility and fabrication of material success are common to all.

Beside international entrepreneur star such as George Soros, Jack Welsh, Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, which offer their success history as books, e.g. formed themselves also in Germany Erich Lejeune and Hller with own success trainings.

Since social descent and missing chances of success coin/shape the German reality, at the success ideology strong criticism is expressed, so of the authors Alexander Dill, Christiane Zschirnt and Alexander of beautiful castle (see bibliography).

Success estimation

With enterprise finances the term success is defined frequently neutrally. In a success estimation also losses can result at the end of the yearly. One speaks then of negative success.
