Abstract
ne of the most important needs of human is achievement to perfection, accomplishment and success. Significant part of our country population is related to young people and one of the factors to maintain young people fresh is achievement to success during various stages of life. The present research is performed with the goal of comparative evaluation of success metaphors among top grades, middle grades and who were not accepted in university entrance exam of 2008. Therefore, 150 candidates of university entrance exam of 2008 have been selected (50 top grades, 50 middle grades and 50 unaccepted from 5 test groups). By this, from top grades of 1-20, and from middle grades of 1000-1500 and from who were not accepted as above 30000, the persons have been selected by sampling method. Then, metaphors were evaluated using content analysis method, descriptive type. Therefore, below results have been archived: Top grades noted to individual factors, middle grades noted to individual and environmental factors and who were not accepted noted to environmental factors. Also, among effective factors to the success of these three groups, the external unfavorable conditions were meaningful to who were not accepted and other factors were common among them. As successful and unsuccessful people are defined based on university entrance exam grades, these results are specified to these groups and not generalized to other groups with different success definition and any conclusions should be provided as conservative.
