Pomohaibo, O. Berezan, A. Petrushov MENTAL AND GENETIC FACTORS OF PERSONAL LIFE SUCCESS Some individuals and even human communities in spite of not promising social origin, gain a significant social height in life, while others, the same, do not achieve anything at all. Studies have shown that the most successful communities in the United States, despite their insignificant share of the population, are Jews, Indians, Chinese, Nigerians, Cubans, Iranians, Lebanese and Mormons. It has been found out that these communities are characterized by an integrated set of three psychological featuresa superiority complex, insecurity and self-control. The superiority complex is based on deep inner confidence in the uniqueness of your community compared to others. Insecurity is an anxious uncertainty in social significance, concern about insufficient results of personal activities. Self-control means the ability to withstand various temptations, especially the temptation to refuse of difficulties and put away hard task rather than execute it. Education is the key to successful life of an individual and the prosperity of society. Learning ability as well as all other human complex variable traits, is formed under the influence of a certain combination of genetic factors and environmental conditions, as it can be seen with the level of its heritabilityabout 60%. Recently over 1300 genetic markers of learning ability have been identified in the human genome as singlenucleotide polymorphisms, which are scattered predominantly in non-coding DNA regions. We propose to use the revealed principles of educational and life success achievements in the process of Ukrainian education reformation.
