1. What has been the most difficult part in achieving esteem
needs?
I would
say that the hardest part of achieving my esteem needs is that I am only human
that is prone to mistakes and sometimes my “co-humans” forget that I am also
like them that will feel multiple emotions. It is just that having a reputation
that is good is not easy to have. Other people may judge me, but, I am learning
to be nonchalant about it. Also, obtaining knowledge is arduous that I have to
undergo a lot of training to be knowledgeable about some things. I am pretty
sure that to have knowledge is not to be intelligent above measure. I just have
to be sure about the things that concern me. And I should have to be aware of
my responsibilities as a citizen of my nation, as a student of the institution
where I belong now, as a part of my family, as a friend, and as a servant of
God, no matter what circumstances will happen to me.
2. Can transcendence affect your personality?
Yes,
because people in nature are self-centered and greedy creations, but by
achieving this need we become more open to others and helpful. This is the
highest step in the Hierarchy of Human Needs, and that only modifies that our
real happiness can be found in going out of our shells and venture out the
world by helping other people achieve their goals in life. The feeling of being
able to help is so satisfying that you cannot hardly plaster a smile in your
face. It is having the feeling that you really have a purpose in this earth.
This affects your personality in a good way. You may think that there is a
change in your perspective in life, but, the truth is you just overcome your
greediness.
