When I go out and talk to people about how unique they are as a human being and that there's a niche for them that they need to follow through on for their lives, it's what I truly believe in.

Self-actualization is what educated existence is all about. For members of the educated class, life is one long graduate school.

What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualization.

I like this idea of becoming fully realised.

Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.

Every person has a longing to be significant; to make a contribution; to be a part of something noble and purposeful.

I want to feel something, as a person. I don't want to be bored.
