Chapter 7 verse 5 Self-actualization like Margaret Thatcher?

Only by realizing self-worth can life be without regrets. ? ?

In the 20s, there was a little girl named Margaret who received strict family education since she was a child.In Grantham, a small town in Kent, England, her father tried to instill in her the view that no matter what you do, you must strive to be first-class, always walk in front of others, and never lag behind. "Even on the bus, you always have to sit in the front row." Her father never allowed her to say things like "I can't" or "It's too difficult." ?
Always the hardest working student in the school, Margaret was always at the top of the class due to her hard work and natural intelligence.She passed with distinction into a grammar school that few pupils of her origin could then hope to enter. ?
When Margaret was 17 years old, she began to establish her life pursuit - politics.At the time, however, entry into British politics required a certain partisan background.She was born into a family with a Conservative party atmosphere, and to enter politics she had to have a formal Conservative Party affiliation, and Oxford University at the time was home to the largest club of Conservative members.Therefore, she chose the chemistry major at Oxford University, which she was more interested in and relatively less competitive, as her main direction. ?
So, one day, she finally bravely walked into the office of Miss Gillis, the principal, and said, "Miss Gillis, I want to go to Somerville College of Oxford University now."?
The headmistress couldn't believe it, and said loudly: "What? Are you lacking in consideration? You haven't even learned a class of Latin now, how can you go to Oxford?"?
"Latin I can learn by myself!"?
"You're only 17 and you're a year away from graduating, you have to think about it after graduation."?
"I can apply for a grade skip!"?
"Absolutely impossible, and I will not agree."?
"You are obstructing my ideal!" Margaret rushed out of the principal's office without looking back. ?
Later, she won the support of her father, and began arduous review and study preparation work.After receiving her senior school certificate a few months earlier, she took her university exams and received an offer from Somerville College, Oxford, as she wished. ?
When I was in college, the school required 5 years of Latin courses.With her tenacious perseverance, she finished all the studies in one year, and passed the exam with excellent results.In fact, Margaret is not only outstanding academically, she is also quite talented in sports, music, speech and school activities.So, the principal of her school also commented on her: "She is undoubtedly the best student in our school, she is always ambitious, and she does everything very well."?
More than 40 years later, this girl who was relentlessly pursuing her life ideal finally got her wish. She became a dazzling star in the political circles of Britain and even the whole of Europe. Is she Margaret?Mrs. Thatcher was elected as the leader of the Conservative Party for four consecutive years and became the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 4. She has dominated the political arena for 1979 years and was hailed as the "Iron Lady" by the world's political circles. ?
Mind walk?

On the banks of the Charles River next to the Kennedy School of Political Science at Harvard University, accompanied by gurgling water and faint birdsong, a professor of psychology told his students the life story of this "Iron Lady" who achieved self-realization and achieved success. ?
Through her unremitting efforts, Margaret finally became the world-famous "Iron Lady".
It is a process of continuous pursuit and persistence. "Politics" is her ideal and her need for self-realization.Maslow's self-actualization
It is not unreasonable to put the needs of realization at the highest level of human needs. After all, everyone has the needs of self-actualization, but it does not
Not everyone can achieve greatness. ?
However, in life, one must always realize oneself, regardless of whether the goal you pursue is big or small, just work hard to achieve it
Let it go, so that your life will be infinitely fulfilling. ?
