Maslow's hierarchy of needs

I think that Abrah Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is pretty true for everyone. It is true for me. I'm sure that there are some people that completely disagree and have different needs, but I believe that he is right. People do work to fulfill their most basic needs first. I also agree with him that once someone has fulfilled all of their needs they will be happy. I have already taken care of a lot of the needs that he has listed. I have pretty much covered physiological, safety, love/belonging, and most of esteem. I sometimes have problems with things in the esteem category such as confidence. I have partially fulfilled self-actualization. I would like to be more creative and spontaneous but for the most I have covered everything else. It seems to me that Maslow was good at what he did. From looking at his hierarchy of needs I think that he was probably a good psychologist.
