If people work to meet their needs，it would be good to know what these needs are.They are very simple.Dr.Maslow has suggested that people have only five needs.Every one has them，and everyone spends his or her life trying to satisfy them.Although we may try to satisfy our needs in different ways，we all are trying to satisfy the same needs.In a way，it is these needs，which are common to all people，that make us human.They seem to be a basic part of human nature.
The needs，which occur in the order shown below，can briefly be described as follows：
1．The Physiological Needs—Our needs for the things that keep our bodies alivefood，water，rest，air，elimination，etc.These needs come first.We must meet them or we will die.
2．The Safety Needs—First we need to stay alive，and then we need to be safe.There are two kinds of safety needs：the need to be physically safe and the need to be psychologically safe or secure.
3．The Belongingness Needs—Once we are alive and safe，we then try to satisfy our social need，a need to be with and accepted by other people.We discover our need for love.
4．The Esteem Needs—After our first three needs are fairly well met，we try to satisfy a fourth need.This is a need for recognition，respect，reputation.The need has two parts：self esteem (thinking well of ourselves) and the esteem of others.
5．The selfactualization (自我实现) Needs—The highest need of man is to actualize himself，to achieve his full potential，to become all that he might be.This need is one that no one ever satisfies completely，partly because we are too busy trying to satisfy our lower needs.
If Dr.Maslow is correct，those are the things we are after.Our work，rest，playwhatever we do—is done in an effort to meet one or more of those needs.
