The word 'prospect' and 'perspective' are two altogether different words in meaning. Their similarity is only in the pronunciation.
The word "prospect" (noun)means:
"possibility of future success".
e-g: "his prospects as a writer are excellent".
The word "perspective" (noun)means:
"The appearance of things relative to one another as determined by their distance from the viewer".
e-g: "the problem should be seen in a broader perspective".
