The person in peak-experiences feels himself, more than other times, to be the responsible, active, creating center of his activities and of his perceptions. he feels more like a prime-mover, more self-determined (rather than caused, determined, helpless, dependent, passive, weak, bossed). he feels himself to be his own boss, fully responsible, fully volitional, with more "free-will" than at other times, master of his fate, an agent.

More From Abraham Maslow

A good man likes a hard boss. i don't mean a nagging boss or a grouchy boss. i mean a boss who insists on things being done right and on time; a boss who is watching things closely enough so that he knows a good job from a poor one. nothing is more discouraging to a good man than a boss who is not on the job, and who does not know whether things are going well or badly.
Leadership Jobs Mean
I am working in my office. i've got a boss who tells me what to do. he's got a boss who tells him what to do. and above him is another boss who probably is telling my boss in the same way - or my boss' boss in the same way what to do. in actuality, this is not the way things work. management science says that that kind of a chain doesn't work more than three levels up.

I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

I wanted to be on my own. i couldn't wait to be on my own. it did not scare me. i was dependent my parents. i wasn't dependent government, but i was dependent on my parents. i started working essentially when i was 16, but i was still dependent on my parents. i couldn't wait to be on my own.

We must believe that "emotion recollected in tranquillity" is an inexact formula. for it is neither emotion, nor recollection, nor without distortion of meaning, tranquillity. it is a concentration, and a new thing resulting from the concentration of a very great number of experiences which to the practical and active person would not seem to be experiences at all; it is a concentration which does not happen consciously or of deliberation. these experiences are not "recollected" and they finally unite in an atmosphere which is "tranquil" only in that it is a passive attending upon the event.

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.

The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down.
Beautiful Cutting Tree
It's like being a stand-up comedian is what leads to being a talk-show host. that life is not cut out for a woman, being on the road at these disgusting hotels. what girls want to do that? gross guys want to do that. i think that the dearth in female comics is just the nature of the business, but there certainly isn't a dearth anymore, so i think it's just silly.

Christians, of all people, should not be destroyers. we should treat nature with an overwhelming respect. we may cut down a tree to build a house, or to make a fire to keep the family warm. but we should not cut down the tree just to cut down the tree. we may, if necessary, bark the cork tree in order to have the use of the bark. but what we should not do is to bark the tree simply for the sake of doing so, and let it dry and stand there a dead skeleton in the wind. to do so is not to treat the tree with integrity.
