Why do we get up and go to work or school?
Why do we hang out with our friends? Why do schools provide recess or
employers provide paid vacation days?

in what he is potentially. This tendency might be phrased as the desire to become more and more
what one is, to become everything that one is capable of becoming."
Maslow's Characteristics of Self-Actualizers
Efficient perceptions of reality. Self-actualizers are able to judge situations correctly and honestly.
Comfortable acceptance of self, others, nature. Self-actualizers accept their own human nature with all its flaws.
Spontaneity. creativity into everyday activities. Task centeringhad a mission to fulfill in life or some task or problem
outside of themselves to pursue. Humanitarians such as Albert Schweitzer and Mother Teresa are considered to have possessed this quality.
Autonomy. Self-actualizers are free from reliance on external authorities or other people. They tend to be resourceful and independent.
Fellowship with humanity. felt a deep identification with others and the human situation in general.
Profound interpersonal relationships. The interpersonal relationships of self-actualizers are marked by deep loving bonds.

How could this particular proposal enrich your personal or your schools
practice?
Truth, rather than dishonesty. Goodness, rather than evil. Beauty, not ugliness or vulgarity. Unity, wholeness, and transcendence of
opposites, not arbitrariness or forced choices. Aliveness, not deadness or the mechanization of
life. Uniqueness, not bland uniformity. Perfection and necessity, not sloppiness,
inconsistency, or accident. Justice and order, not injustice and lawlessness. Effortlessness, not strain. Self-sufficiency, not dependency. Meaningfulness, rather than senselessness.
Maslow believes that much of the what is wrong with the world comes down to the fact that very few people really are interested in values -- not because they are bad people, but because they haven’t even had their basic needs taken care of!
