Answer 1

Psychology is the study of mind and behavior thus, it could be used all walks of life starting from birth, education, parenting, family, workplace, society etc. Learning and applying the psychological concepts would help one not only understand oneself but also understand others. Concepts such as motivation, emotions, leadership, development etc. would help one work well in teams and as an individual. Having emotional intelligence, high level of motivation and ability to work along with others would help one become more successful. I know of Mr. Sundar Pitchai who hailed from a simple background but hailed to the highest position of Google. We could also cite our former president as an example. He rose to a president from a very simple background and he is also the first Black president of USA.
