You need to create the way you think and act everything in your life in the middle of 20th century,
Abraham Maslow in his paper, A Theory of Human Motivation, proposed hierarchy of needs.
The hierarchy starts from the basic survival needs, like food and shelter, which most people are lucky
enough to have, then progresses to safety and security, which is certainly could be guaranteed by
adequate salary or other benefits.
Thirdly, love and belonging, which many of us draw from our community.
Sometimes it is enhanced by social events and criminal spaces.
Next comes esteem, a sense of importance and self capability powerfully available from work when you
have a relevant challenge and appreciation of your results.
And finally, self actualization, which simply means being your best and achieving long term progression.
One of the critics on Maslow's hierarchy is ranking muscle himself pointed out that the order in the
hierarchy can change.
