Come to terms with facts v.s. Self-acualisation

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maslow%27s_Hierarchy_of_Needs.svg




 The article to "Live with Fate" in today's MING PAO indicates that a man's full potential will be developed only when they first come to terms with their reality and fates - that is to come to the stage of acceptance of facts. Then they will find resources to solve problems guided by an open-minded attitude. Their creativity and responsibility will be spontaneously excel and the "actualization" of the full personal potential takes place.


This reminds me Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation. The above two are echoed to each other in the terms of achieving the highest level of personal development.

Meanwhile, if we can come to terms with the facts we are facing, we can find true happiness unconditionally.
