Question

Provide an example of an individual whom you believe to be self-actualized. Explain three reasons why you believe this person is self-actualized.

Answer 1

A self-actualised person is a person who makes complete use of his/her potential, doing the best that he/she is capable of doing. One of the self actualised persons that I am aware of is Albert Einstein.

He can be called a self- actualised person because he had the following characteristics typical of a self actualised person

1. He embraced the unknown: Many a time Einstein has quoted how the unknown amazes him.

2. He could accept his shortcomings even though he was a master in his field.

3. He used his full potential as he could come up with theories that changed how we perceived physics.
