An American psychologist is known as Abraham Maslow, Born 1st April 1908, Brooklyn, New York, United States, Died 8th June 1970, Menlo Park, California, in the United States, which is popularly known for his law, called the hierarchy of needs, where he talks about why man behaves the way he behaves and does what he does. This hierarchy of needs is also called the pyramid of life. Which are the psychologically or basic need, security and safety needs, love and acceptance or social needs, esteem needs, and legacy.
Psychologically Needs are the air, food, cloth, and water, the psychologically needs are needs that we can’t do without on daily basis i.e. if a man is naked he will want to cover his nakedness, that same man if he is a stave of food, he will not border his nakedness he will want to eat to survive, and if taste he will not border of hunger again, he will just want to quench his taste, and if the air is the only thing that he needs for survive he will forget all does others needs and fight for air just to survive.
Safety and Security needs arise when all these basic needs are met, then the man will want to have his privacy, he will no longer be comfortable in a house of more than persons, then privacy and security needs arise, where the man will do everything possible to move out of this parent house, to his own house where he will feel free and secure. And able to do anything he wanted.

Love and acceptance or social needs this stage of a humans life the person’s psychological needs, and need for security are fulfilled then the person grows into love and acceptance where he will want to be loved and respected, this stage is also called the social needs, where the person will be looking for society to join and belong to, feel accepted by the society and it is at this stage that most people join different society and clubs, and it is at this stage that people, makes the most mistake in their life. Looking for society to join just to feel accepted tend to push them into joining a bad society.
The esteem needs this is where the trouble begins, the need for esteem for oneself and the need to find respect from another what is called reputation (People’s perspective of you) at this point you are not looking for your basic needs again, your security and safety needs are met, social needs are there, what is left is your ego, reputation, and respect, at this point, if you are a leader or a manager you need to understand that people are growing, which if you fail to do that, the people under u will no longer need basic needs, safety and security, social needs again, there needs will shift at this point people will want independences and pay attention to achievement, what gives you fulfillment is not driving a car, eating, is not that fancy cloth, but you will want to achieve goals, at this point, you will be sensitive to very thing. Title, recognition, and who say anything about you, Maslow helps us to understand this.

Legacy or self-actualization needs, the needs for fulfillment and the legacy, for instinct, if you see someone of age 80 or 90 notice how everything reverses, the man doesn’t care if his hair is a comb, don’t care if he zips this trouser, weather his cloths are iron or not, that same man 50 years ago, he will make sure that everything is in place before he goes out, but now he doesn’t care for any of those, what he is after is the legacy, what is his impact in the world, what is he going to leave for his children.
The highest psychological needs of a man are love, acceptance, celebration, and appreciation.
