WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS?
Continued from page twelve
make ends meet produced the
fewest successful men.
Q: At ichat age are you likely
to be the most successful?
A: Exhaustive studies con
ducted at Ohio University show
that in terms of productivity and
creative ability, you’re likely to
turn in the highest batting aver
age between the ages of 30 and
40. This was found particularly
true of men engaged in profes
sional fields, such as science,
medicine, research, psychology
and kindred callings. The survey
showed, however, that most busi
ness executives don’t reach their
top stride until appreciably later
in life between 50 and 60.
And 90 far as earning power
alone is concerned, a survey of all
age groups showed that most of
the highest paid men are in their
middle 50’s.
Q: Do happiness and finan
cial success tend to go hand
in hand?
A: Only to a certain extent. Peo
ple with extremely low or high
incomes tend to be the least
happy. The happiest are those
who have achieved a halfway de
gree of financial success.
Indeed, evidence all up and
down the line indicates that an
income sufficient to provide few
economic security is most con
ducive to happiness. (Enough to
make ends meet comfortably,
with some left over to add to
the nest egg; but not enough to
put you in the wealthy class.)
Studies conducted by sociolo
gist Judson T. Landis show, in
cidentally, that most people tend
to be happier during that period
in their lives when they are
climbing up the ladder of success,
rather than after they have
reached the top.
Q: Is the man who gripes
about his work less likely
to succeed at it?
A: If he’s disposed toward grip
ing he’ll always find things to
“Your move”
complain about— even though
his job fits him like a glove. This
attitude used to be regarded as
a liability, but science’s latest
findings indicate that it may well
be an asset.
The University of Michigan’s
Institute for Social Research did
a four-year survey of the person
nel of leading U.S. companies.
They found that the man who
gripes about his work, his boss
or his company is more likely to
succeed than the man who either
has no gripes or keeps them to
himself.
A man may gripe because he’s
a perfectionist, or because he en
visions some better way of doing
things and does not yet have the
authority to put his ideas into
practice.
But regardless of the motiva
tion. the survey showed that the
personality characteristics that
dispose a man to griping also
make him a better and more
efficient worker.
“While this type,” say the
investigators, “will often spend
a lunch hour denouncing his job
and criticizing things in general,
the driving urge to succeed will
9end this same subject back to
work fired with more productive
energy.”
A spokesman for one of the
country’s largest insurance com
panies whose employees were
included in the survey believes
the investigation may produce
startling results. “On the basis
of the study,” he observed, “it
may be that instead of firing a
guy who threatens to punch his
boss in the nose, we should pro
mote him.”
Q: Is it true that the price of
success is often a mental or
emotional breakdown?
A: It sometimes happens, but
far more often that’s the price of
failure. It is certainly possible,
for example, for the rising execu
tive to be caught in such a mael
strom of frictions and pressures
