Man's only rival is his own potential

Only one's own potential can defeat someone. The only way for a man to fail is for him not to realize his potential. Abraham Maslow said these things. His pyramid is probably not new to you. the "Maslow's Pyramid"    Food, drink, housing, clothes, sex, and recreation are all examples of physiological demands.  Needs for security include stable employment, a pension system, safe working conditions, and other measures that guarantee an individual's physical and emotional well-being and inspire trust.  Needs for belonging—to a group, a club, a family, a friend, a community, etc.—are examples of affiliation needs. A person's sense of self-worth—the degree to which he believes he contributes meaningfully to his life and the lives of those around him—is an example of an esteem need. Among these are factors like self-assurance, social standing, and accomplishments.  The desire to realize one's full potential, or self-actualization, is an essential human need. "What a man can be, he must be," Maslow says himself. Maslow established the following hierarchy of needs:  Biological: sustenance, hydration, rest, wellness, and oxygenation.  Core: a place to call home; protection; stability.  In the social domain, we find things like friendships, love, communication, caring for others, and paying heed to one's own needs.  Respect for oneself, respect for others, public acclaim, professional growth, and accomplishments that garner high praise are all hallmarks of a prestigious career.  Knowledge and self-realization are spiritual concepts.
