Some people believe that they are masters of their own fate. Others see themselves as pawns of fate, believing that what happens to them are due to luck or chance.
The first type, those who believe that they control their destinies, have been called Internals, whereas the latter, who see their lives as being controlled by outside forces have been called Externals
A person’s perception of the source of his or her fate is termed Locus of Control. Locus of Control is the degree to which people believe they are masters of their own fate. They can take charge of what happens to them.
