About Me

To find me, you have to be smart.
To catch me, you have to be quick.
To beat me, you have to be kidding.
1. A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts.
2. Don't make someone your priority when they only make you an option.
3. Life doesn't always work out according to plan.. so be happy with what you've got.

Maslow's Theory:
An influential humanistic theory of personality was proposed by Abraham Maslow (1970). This is only part of Maslowâ€™s theory of personality. He has devoted much attention to the study of people who, in his terms, are psychologically healthy. These are individuals who have attained high levels of self actualization-a state in which they have reached their fullest true potential. What are such people like? Self-actualized people accept themselves for what they are; they recognize their shortcomings as well as their strengths. Being in touch with their own personalities, they are less inhibited and less likely to conform than most of us. Self actualized people are well aware of he rules imposed by society, but feel greater freedom to ignore then than most persons. Unlike most of us, they seem to retain their childhood wonder and amazement with the world. For them, life continues to be an exciting adventure rather that a boring routine. They are also more likely to be very innovative and entrepreneurial rather than taking what to them appears as a mediocre or unfulfilling job or career choice. Finally, self-actualized persons sometimes have what Maslow describes as peak experiences-instances in which they have powerful feelings of unity with the universe and feel tremendous waves of power and wonder. Such experiences appear to be linked to personal growth, for them individuals report feeling more spontaneous, more appreciative of life, and less concerned with the problems of everyday life. Examples of people Maslow describes as fully self-actualized are Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, and George Washington Carver.
Quotes:
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
