[概念] 激励理论 - 马斯洛需求层次理论(Maslow's hierarchy of needs)

激励理论中 马斯洛提出了一个5层的需求层次理论，下面的四个层次甚好理解，只是最高层的“Self Actualization"不太明白。有个老师在讲解习题中说”父母没有考上大学，于是全力培养孩子，孩子考了大学，于是乎父母实现了self actualization" 呵呵 -- 当时感觉就有点儿演绎的意味。还是看看Maslow本人是怎么说的：

"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write,
if he is to be at peace with himself.  What a man can be, he must be.
This is the need we may call self-actualization ... It refers to man's
desire for fulfillment, namely to the tendency for him to become 
actually in what he is potentially: to become everything that one
is capable of becoming ..."

文中还列举了诸多 Characteristics关于self actualization的人，可以参考http://www.performance-unlimited.com/samain.htm

呵呵，很高的人生境界。。
