Man's only rival is his own potential. Man's only failure is to fail to develop his own potential.These are the words of Abraham Maslow. I guess you've heard of his pyramid. "Maslow's Pyramid"
Physiological needs - those necessary for life, such as food, water, shelter, clothing, sex, recreation.
Security needs - those that ensure the physical and mental protection of the person and give him confidence - reliable work, pension system, working conditions, etc.
Affiliation needs - those that attach to someone or something - friendship, family, love, participation in a group, membership in an organization, etc. Esteem needs - including self-esteem, through which a person feels himself to be a person who is useful and significant to himself and others. This includes things like confidence, status and achievements.
Need for self-actualization - a need that enables a person to express and develop his full potential. As Maslow himself says, "What a man can be, he must be." Maslow himself divides needs as follows:
Physiological: food, water, sleep, health, air.
Existential: shelter, safety, security.
Social: social connections, communication, affection, concern for others and attention to self.
Prestigious: self-respect, respect from others, recognition, achieving success and high appreciation, development at work.
Spiritual: knowledge, self-realization.
