Locus of Control: Who Controls Your Life
Do you believe in fate? In chance? Or are you one of those people who takes full charge of how your life turns out?
Well, this article explores the concept of "locus of control." In psychology, this term refers to how you explain the good and the bad things in your life. This concept explains why some people are fanatics of destiny and why others are strong advocates of taking in control.
External versus Internal Locus of Control
Your "locus" can either be internal or external. If you have an external locus of control, you believe that fate, chance, or a higher being is the one responsible in running your life. You have no immediate control over the things that are happening to you. Instead, you simply let your external sphere influence the outcome of your life.
People with external locus of control exhibit less responsibility over their lives. They would always say: if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
On the contrary, those with an internal locus of control believe that they themselves are the captains of their ship. They believe that whatever happens to them is a result of the choices they make, and the things that they do. More importantly, people with an internal locus of control believe that no one else is responsible for their lives. As a result, they have better control of their behavior and consequently, they attempt to influence others'.
At the extremes, people with internal locus of control can be labelled as "control freaks" or perfectionists. On the other hand, those with external locus of control can be likened to the devil-may-care and sometimes thoughtless individuals.
Which is Better?
Now the question is: which is better? Which is the ideal? Is it fair to think of people with external locus of control are mindless and irresponsible individuals? Is it fair to say that everyone should strive to have an internal locus of control?
Well, there's really no definite answer to this, except that a balance between the two loci (plural of locus) should be present. For the most part, you must be in control of your life. You must do the things that you want to do. If you want to be successful in your career, you must see to it that you do well in your current job. If you want to find the man - or woman - of your dreams, you must make yourself accessible and available. Go to places where you can find decent partners. Don't just stay at home and pray that your prince charming will be magically directed to your path.
On the other hand, acknowledge as well that some things are simply out of your control. Know that sometimes, fate waves her hand, and whatever you do, you can't get away from it. Acknowledge that there's a higher being - someone who is larger than you. Acknowledge that sometimes, it's okay to lose control a bit, and let fate do its part.
Therefore, the key to living a good and planned life is balance. Take charge of the things that you can control and let go of those that you can't. By doing so, you are well way at ease directing your life - without closing your doors on a few surprises along the way.

External Intervention in Foreign Exchange Markets $96.59 In the last decades there were many calls in politics and literature for more supervision and control of world wide currency markets. These proposals were propelled by increasing exchange rate volatility and the occurrence of several financial crises. The author Alexander Zens illustrates the state of discussion regarding external intervention in foreign exchange markets. He gives evidence of capital controls being implemented in history. The famous transaction tax, which was proposed by James Tobin in the 1970s, is scrutinised in depth. Does the tax interfere with trades of speculators or hedgers, if it was deployed comprehensively? Are there consequences for companies, which manage their exchange rate exposures? The book is directed at students, economists, managers and multinational enterprises. Author: Zens, Alexander Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 80 Publication Date: 2008/05/01 Language: English Dimensions: 9.00 x 6.00 x 0.17 inches |

Capital Controls and Capital Flows in Emerging Economies $39 Some scholars argue that the free movement of capital across borders enhances welfare; others claim it represents a clear peril, especially for emerging nations. In Capital Controls and Capital Flows in Emerging Economie s, an esteemed group of contributors examines both the advantages and the pitfalls of restricting capital mobility in these emerging nations. In the aftermath of the East Asian currency crises of 1997, the authors consider mechanisms that eight countries have used to control capital inflows and evaluate their effectiveness in altering the maturity of the resulting external debt and reducing macroeconomic vulnerability. This volume is essential reading for all those interested in emerging nations and the costs and benefits of restricting international capital flows.     |
