Our society in which we live in has a great impact on developing a theory. It is the background and common ground that conditions and guides our behavior to choose our career. This effect may be considered a general factor but it is the greatest factor. In order to survive in society, compliance must take place. Society presents certain rules and abidance is necessary for conformity.

As I emerged from that event and a year later, from my father's passing away, I became faced with an incomplete projection. Despite the setbacks, my career goal did not change. I had developed and matured into a designated ambition. I knew what I wanted and had made a connection with a certain career goal and I believe it to be instilled in me.

Therefore, some people may be more fortunate than others in that aspect or less fortunate, because ultimately, intelligence is a major aspect of the level of achievement.
