I have never forgotten working as a hotel maid one summer when I was a teenager. My aunt
was an assistant manager and I was encouraged to take the summer job. She had been a maid
at one time and she advised me to remember to clean the bathrooms really well. Nobody
likes cleaning bathrooms, but I didn’t mind doing it as part of my summer job. That’s when
I was starting to learn English. I enjoyed trying to improve my English and it helped me a

better job.

Maslow uspořádal základní lidské potřeby do hierarchie a roztřídil je do 5 kategorií. První
skupinou jsou fyziologické potřeby, následuje potřeba pocitu bezpečí. Teprve, když jsou tyto
potřeby uspokojeny, mohou lidé cítit sociální potřeby, jako sounáležitost se skupinou a potřeba
být přijímán ostatními, potřeba úcty, tj. sebeúcta a úcta ostatních. Nejvyšší kategorií je potřeba
seberealizace – touha vyvíjet se a dosáhnout cílů, které si člověk zadal. Nicméně jakmile je
touha naplněna, její schopnost odměňovat a fungovat jako stimul, se zmenšuje.
Maslow arranged/organised basic human needs in a hierarchy and classified them into
five categories. The first category is physiological needs followed by security needs.
Only after these needs are satisfied, can people feel social needs, such as belonging to a
group and the need to be accepted by others, esteem needs, i.e. self-respect and being
esteemed by others. The highest category is self-actualization need – the desire to
develop and achieve the goals which one has set for oneself. Nevertheless, as soon as a
need is satisfied, its capacity to reward and to act as an incentive diminishes..
