Most People Have Great Potential.
But Very Few of Them Unleash It
Rima Pundir
After having worked with magazines like Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and Prevention, Rima J Pundir hung up her work heels and became a WAHM.
Has any authority figure ever come up to you and told you that you have the potential for so much more, but are not reaching for it? Or have you yourself ever felt that despite achieving all that you have, there’s a lot in you that needs to be explored and reached for, but you are pulling yourself back somehow? The first step to self-actualization is often realizing this. Once you have done so, the actual journey can begin.
Why Do We Need Self Actualization?
Self-actualization is a theory created by Abraham Maslow that “represents growth of an individual toward fulfillment of the highest needs; those for meaning in life, in particular.”.
Basically, think of who or what you are today and what you could be, ideally, down the road that leads you to search for the truth in yourself, for the true potential in yourself and for the all the good and altruistic tendencies in you. A person who has achieved self-actualization knows all of life’s meaning and purpose – be it basic needs or a higher calling.
According to Maslow, self-actualization is a step-by-step process: first you satisfy your basic needs (things like money, shelter, food), then comes the need to satisfy the social desires (love, friends, family) and then comes the most difficult step: to be as self-confident a person, as mentally and internally strong, as you can be, no matter the challenges or circumstances. So the need for self-actualization is simple – to be the best that we can be.
Essential Skills Needed To Reach Self-Actualization
Perhaps the first step to self-actualization is the fact that you are not yet your ideal self, but that’s okay. You first need to learn to accept who you truly are, however lacking you may be in certain aspects. The second thing to realize is the path to self-actualization is perhaps a winding, interesting but never-ending road – there’s always more to learn, even if it’s about your own, true self.
So here go the essential skills you need, and the steps you need to take to reach self-actualization, as guided by Maslow :
Skill 1: Accept Yourself Holistically, And Just Be You
You are unique, be it in your achievements, talents or even fallacies. There isn’t anyone like you – and the mistakes you made, they are nothing but milestones in your way to success.
Be who you truly are and want to be. Cloaking your true nature in a bid to please others will work only so much, and for so long. Ultimately, the ones around you need to see and accept the real you but before that you have to see and accept the real you, yourself. Don’t be or say or do what others want you to, think about what is right and wrong – and always follow the path that seems right to you. The key thing to do here is to remember that it has to be selfless, ego free and on the path of righteousness.
Remember not to compare yourself to anyone – no matter how much better, more successful or simply “more” someone else is. You are you, and you are your best canvas. Remember that you write your own destiny, and that you are the one in control of who you want to be. Tell yourself that, in front of the mirror if you need to.
Skill 2: Be Honest, Brutally, With Yourself And Gently With Others
The decisions you make in life need to come from an honest and truthful place – be true to yourself always. Not to say that being dishonest with others is a good thing, but if you start lying to yourself, there’s no end to the vicious cycle you’ll end up trapping yourself in. What you do, why you did it and what you will do next all needs to come from a place of stark honesty and nothing else.
Maintain a diary of your actions and their explanations. Many of us often tell little white lies about our lives to others. The reason mostly being that we are dissatisfied with ourselves, or ashamed of something we feel we lack, and so we often cover-up and hedge and pretend to be something we are not. Problem is that when we lie to others, we end up believing it ourselves and then the line between truth and honesty tends to get blurred. The path to self-actualization is paved with bricks of truth, always.
Skill 3: Think Of Challenges As Obstacles, Not Insurmountable Walls
Sooner or later you will face resistance in your solitary walk to self-actualization. People may not like that you have changed, they may not like that you are choosing to pull away from them or the life you were leading earlier – and they will try to pull you back. Still others will brand you as stubborn, or principled, or too idealistic or just plain wacko.
You have to let these things slide off of you. You have to rise above it all and not be bothered by it. Do not change your way in case challenges are thrown your way, do not shift to the path of least resistance to “smooth” things over. No one said that this road was going to be easy, but the results and the journey in itself will make you the happiest you can ever be.
Skill 4: Live In the Moment, And Be Grateful For All That You Are
People on the path of self-actualization have truly understood that their time on this planet is finite, as is everybody’s. And this finiteness is also very dubious: you never know what the next moment will bring, or when you’d suddenly meet your Maker. Living in each and every moment is one way to ensure that when it is your time to go, you go with nary regret.
Remember to be grateful for all the little things in life – the sun on your face, the fragrance of rain-wet earth, the loved ones in your life, all the good things that happened to you and all the bad things too (for they made you learn and rise up to the occasion) and of course, for just being you.
Skill 5: Never Stop Questioning or Learning, Ever
The meaning of life, for people who have reached self-actualization or are well on their way to it, is a never ending quest. This quest is not materialistic or even ambitious in its nature, rather, it is simply a thirst for knowledge, for self-development and for being better than who you were a day, hour or even minute ago.
People who want to reach self-actualization have already accepted the best and the worst about themselves. Now they are on road to better themselves, to help someone along the way if they can, and to make a positive change in the world if they so can. They know, understand and accept that there is no such thing as perfection and that life, despite all the challenges and hardships, is a beautiful gift meant to be enjoyed to the fullest in the literal sense of knowledge too.
The Pitfalls That You Need To Avoid On The Path To Self-Actualization
People on the path to self-actualization have learnt to take failure in their stride, accept and even delight in their imperfections and have a control over their emotions. 9 Here’s what not to do:
- Stop mulling on your failures or “deficiencies”:
No one is perfect, accept that and accept yourself.
- Stop “not knowing”:
Ignorance is as big a sin – learn about yourself, the world and keep the quest on.
- Nip that self-pity:
So you didn’t achieve a goal or two or ten – shake it off and start striving again. Feeling sorry for yourself will not get you anywhere.
- Kill your ego:
Your ego and your high opinion of yourself will get you nowhere if you want to be on the path to self-actualization. Kill your ego and be as selfless as possible.
- Do not be too materialistic:
No, we are not asking you to give up your worldly possessions or pursuits. But don’t make them your sole goal, there has to be a higher calling than that sometimes.
All in all, if you stay true to yourself and your beliefs, try to be as good and morally upright a person that you can be and keep on the quest to be a better person – you are on a good road to self-actualization, and will soon reach your goals. Remember that is not the end, just a great new beginning!

GATTACA
What is genetic engineering, after all, but preemptive plastic surgery? Make the child perfect in the test tube, and save money later. Throw in perfect health, a high IQ and a long life-span, and you have the brave new world of “Gattaca,” in which the bioformed have inherited the earth, and babies who are born naturally get to be menial laborers.
This is one of the smartest and most provocative of science fiction films, a thriller with ideas. Its hero is a man who challenges the system. Vincent (Ethan Hawke) was born in the old-fashioned way, and his genetic tests show he has bad eyesight, heart problems and a life expectancy of about 30 years. He is an “In-Valid,” and works as a cleaner in a space center.
Vincent does not accept his fate. He never has. As a child, he had swimming contests with his brother Anton (Loren Dean), who has all the right scores but needs to be saved from drowning. Now Vincent dreams of becoming a crew member on an expedition to one of the moons of Saturn. Using an illegal DNA broker, he makes a deal with a man named Jerome (Jude Law), who has the right genes but was paralyzed in an accident. Jerome will provide him with blood, urine samples and an identity. In a sense, they'll both go into space. “Gattaca” is the remarkable debut of a writer-director from New Zealand, Andrew Niccol, whose film is intelligent and thrilling--a tricky combination--and also visually exciting. His most important set is a vast office where genetically superior computer programmers come to work every day, filing into their long rows of desks like the office slaves in King Vidor's “The Crowd” and Orson Welles' “The Trial.” (Why are “perfect” human societies so often depicted by ranks of automatons? Is it because human nature resides in our flaws?) Vincent, as “Jerome,” gets a job as a programmer, supplies false genetic samples and becomes a finalist for the space shot.
The tension comes in two ways. First, there's the danger that Vincent will be detected; the area is swept daily, and even an eyelash can betray him. Second, there's a murder; a director of the center, who questions the wisdom of the upcoming shot, is found dead, and a detective (Alan Arkin) starts combing the personnel for suspects. Will a computer search sooner or later put together Vincent, the former janitor, with “Jerome,” the new programmer? Vincent becomes friendly with Irene (Uma Thurman), who works in the center but has been passed over for a space shot because of low scores in some areas. They are attracted to one another, but romance in this world can be dangerous; after kissing a man, a woman is likely to have his saliva swabbed from her mouth so she can test his prospects. Other supporting characters include Gore Vidal, as a mission supervisor, and Tony Shalhoub as the broker (“You could go anywhere with this guy's helix under your arm”).
Hawke is a good choice for the lead, combining the restless dreams of a “Godchild” with the plausible exterior of a lab baby. The best scenes involve his relationship with the real Jerome, played by Law as smart, bitter, and delighted to be sticking it to the system that has grounded him. (He may be paralyzed from the waist down, but after all, as the movie observes, you don't need to walk in space.) His drama parallels Vincent's, because if either one is caught they'll both go down together.
Science fiction in the movies has recently specialized in alien invasions, but the best of the genre deals with ideas. At a time when we read about cloned sheep and tomatoes crossed with fish, the science in “Gattaca” is theoretically possible. When parents can order “perfect” babies, will they? Would you take your chances on a throw of the genetic dice, or order up the make and model you wanted? How many people are prepared to buy a car at random from the universe of all available cars? That's how many, I suspect, would opt to have natural children.
Everybody will live longer, look better and be healthier in the Gattacan world. But will it be as much fun? Will parents order children who are rebellious, ungainly, eccentric, creative, or a lot smarter than their parents are? There's a concert pianist in “Gattaca” who has 12 fingers. Don't you sometimes have the feeling you were born just in time?

Q1. What do you know about 'Genetic engineering'?
Q2. Can you tell the advantages and disadvantages of 'Genetic engineering'?
Q3. What is the things that make your dreams come true? Your background? your appearance, your parents or action based on your inner desire and passion?
Q4. In the movie, Vincent (Ethan Hawke) is conceived and born without the aid of genetic engineering of humans. But in this society, this technology is common and DNA plays the primary role in determining social class. And Vincent takes the detoured way to make his dreams come true. Do you think his resolution was right which was against law?
Q5. Nowadays we face various discrimination in the society. And in the near future, we might face the extreme genetic discrimination and prejudice as Vincent did in this movie. How do you think about it?
Q6. In the movie, Vincent is suffering from the nearly eradicated physical dysfunctions of myopia and a congenital heart defect, as well as being given a life expectancy of 30.2 years. Conversely, his younger brother Anton has perfect genes and better performance. And one day, Anton challenge his older brother Vincent to game of chicken. As the two swim out in the dead of night, Anton is surprised at Vincent's stamina, and Vincent told him some meaningful message. "That's how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back." And this sentence had been unforgettable in my memories. In spite of his genetically deficient traits, he can win every game with his positive attitude and endless efforts. That was the only secret of his success. How do you think about his attitude?
Q7. If you can order "perfect" babies, will you take advantage of this technology? Or will you throw the genetic dice?
Q8. Thanks to the development of reproductive technology, if everyone can model and make
the babies who look better appearance, is healthier and smarter than their parents. Then will it be as much fun?
Q9. In the movie, there is a concert pianist in "GATTACA" who has 12 fingers. What do you think about this pianist? How do you feel about her?
Britain says yes to 3-parent babies (5th February, 2015)
Lawmakers in the U.K. have voted to allow doctors to create babies from the DNA of three different people. It will be the first country in the world to do this. There was a vote in Britain's parliament, where 382 lawmakers voted for allowing three-person babies and 128 voted against the idea. The idea behind three-person babies is to stop diseases being passed from a mother to her newborn baby. Doctors say that as many as 150 babies a year could be born using the new technique. The first baby to be born using the DNA from three people could be as early as next year. The technique will help families with mitochondrial diseases. These are incurable and affect about one in 6,500 children worldwide.
The technique is quite simple. It combines the DNA of the two parents with the DNA of another woman. Doctors replace the unhealthy, disease-carrying DNA in the mother's egg with healthy DNA from the donor. The result is that the baby receives about 0.1 per cent of its DNA from the donor woman. Lawmakers said the technique was "light at the end of a dark tunnel" for many families. Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron said: "We're not playing God here. We're just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one." Critics say the technique could be dangerous. They say it would open the door to the genetic modification of children and "designer babies" in the future.

Japanese local authorities turn matchmaker
to combat low birthrate
Local government holds social 'machikon' events to help singles mingle – but will it work?
Aya Homei/ Wednesday 16 April 2014 08.00 BST
Should local councils help us make friends? This is a question Jonathan Carr-West, chief executive of the Local Government Information Unit, asks noting that social relationships make us happy, and happy communities are healthier and more connected.
As a Japan specialist this question interests me because many Japanese local communities have been funding matchmaking events in recent years. They have not done so simply because they want to make people happy and healthy.
According to the Japanese government, intimate relationships are a public concern because they are linked to the issue of the country's declining birthrates since the 1990s. Local authorities are involved in matchmaking because they want to increase Japan's birthrate.
Since 2011 some Japanese authorities have been involved in community matchmaking events called machikon. Machikon take place in high-street cafes and restaurants and are small festivals: the streets are closed to traffic, and participants pay a fee of £15 to £35. In return they get unlimited food and drink. The idea is that people talk and form relationships.
So far local government involvement in matchmaking has been primarily through funding. Local government allocates grants to certain organisations or activities to boost birth rates and, in turn, these organisations run the events. According to the Japan Machikon Producers Organisation local government affiliates have organised 59 machikon events since 2012.
Local government expects to benefit in the shape of more babies; but they also view such events as a way to help local business and rejuvenate the community. Communities in rural Japan have been suffering as a result of drastic socio-economic change after the economy collapsed in the early 1990s, closing many high street businesses.
At first glance local government's involvement in machikon matchmaking events seem to be a good idea. Local authorities can kill two birds with one stone: they address the problem of declining birthrates while also bringing back businesses and community spirit to provincial high streets.
Whether matchmaking will bring benefits as the local (or central) government has planned is a different question. As I argue in a recent blog, the machikon idea is embedded in a fairly traditional set of ideologies pertaining to gender roles and work ethos. Realities in contemporary Japan are much more diverse in terms of family relationships, work arrangements, and lifestyles than such government policies reflect.
The impact of these events so far is hard to measure because it is a recent phenomenon. This is a growing industry in Japan. According to a Japanese academic article by Masataka Terashima, 78 machikon took place in the financial year 2011 while the year after there were 1,795 events.
It seems we need to assess some of the fundamental cultural issues before judging whether or not local government has a role in intimate relationships.
Looking at the case of Japan, it seems vital we critically engage with some of the fundamental issues and cultural conditions underlying the phenomenon or discussion of matchmaking before making a verdict as to whether or not local government has a role in intimate and personal relationships.

Germany's birthrate is the lowest in Europe - and falling fast
After generous parental allowances fail to reverse the trend, experts call for a different approach
Kate Connolly in Berlin/ Friday 21 September 2012 12.20 BST
In all the data about Germany, it's the one statistic that bucks the trend. Its economy is strong, its cities are regularly cited as among the best in the world to live in – but Germany is a shrinking country. It has the lowest birthrate, just 1.36 children per woman, in Europe, and one of the lowest in the world.
According to the national statistics office, fewer babies were born in Germany last year than at any time in its history. A total of 663,000 children were born, 15,000 fewer than in 2010 and in stark contrast to 1964 when German births (east and west) peaked at just under 1.4 million. The rate for younger women in particular fell last year, though it increased for those from their mid-30s to mid-40s.
Demographics and family policy experts are divided over the reasons for the apparent reluctance to have children, as well as the ways to tackle the situation. What they generally agree on is that Germany's demographic future looks gloomy. With many more Germans dying than being born for 40 years, the obvious results will be a shrinking workforce, lower growth and a struggle to pay for a rapidly ageing population. Britain's population is forecast to exceed that of Germany by 2040.
Kerstin Schenk is a 39-year-old new mother from Munich whose experience goes some way to explaining the trend. "I had hoped to have children earlier, but I didn't finish my studies until I was 30," said the management consultant. "And then I felt I needed to get some work experience under my belt before I went off on maternity leave. When I did then have the right partner it took quite a long time for us to get pregnant."
That the government of Angela Merkel has thrown so much money at the problem is seen by many, even within her own ranks, as a mistake. "Elterngeld" or "parents' allowance" has cost well over €20bn (£16.1bn) since it was introduced five years ago and its results are questionable.
Under the scheme, considered one of the most generous family policies in Europe, parents can receive up to 65% of their salary (capped at €1,800) per month over a period of up to 14 months.
A scheme to start next year instigated by the family minister, Kristina Schröder – the first minister to have had a child in office – will guarantee every child over the age of one a childcare place. But so far similar measures have apparently done nothing to boost the birthrate.
Social scientists want a far broader approach that views the family as a whole and tries to create stronger links between the workplace and family. In many parts of Germany parents complain of a lack of access to childcare. Most schools finish earlier than elsewhere in Europe – sometimes as early as 11am – making it harder for women in particular to combine work and family. Though the phrase is used less and less, working mothers are still referred to as "rabenmütter" or raven mothers.
When Schenk returns to work she will be able to take advantage of a flexible working scheme. "But this is an exception, and what I daren't think about yet is how my employers would view it if I had a second child," she said.
What Germany needs and what France and Scandinavia have, according to Wolfgang Nowak, director of the Alfred Herrhausen Foundation, and a former adviser to Gerhard Schröder, the ex-chancellor, is an agreement between the workplace and the family that would make the two much more compatible. He said Germany's generous welfare system needed to be much simpler.
"Every new government tries to advocate social benefaction with the result that we now have a completely confusing jungle of social benefits, including no less than 150 ways of financing family life. The result is too much fragmentation of the resources available."
Yet another "family-friendly" measure, which involves paying women to stay home with their toddlers, was championed by the conservative CSU party in Bavaria, which has but has proved controversial, involves paying women to stay at home with their toddlers. Critics have called it a reinforcement of the traditionalist view of women's roles – often referred to as "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" (children, kitchen, church) – that does not fit into modern Germany.
Margot Kässmann, former head of Germany's protestant church and the mother of four daughters, said the birthrate problem had much to do with people's unwillingness to leap into the unknown. "Apart from all the factors that mean people are having children much later, many people are put off by the bind it involves. This is a society which is obsessed with having options – they want to test everything first and having children is obviously something you can't test in advance."
With signs that Germany itself might face a recession before long, there are fears that the problem of "Schrumpfnation Deutschland" (shrinking Germany) will only worsen. Statisticians say you only need to look at the Great Depression to see how childbearing is affected by economics. Demographics experts are therefore keeping a close eye on Merkel's efforts to end the euro crisis.

How women can get their work-life balance right
12 Apr 2017/ Madeline Farber/ Reporter, Fortune
Arianna Huffington says companies don't always know what their female employees need—unless women tell them.
"Women should feel free to speak up about what is important to them," said the former editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post and current CEO of Thrive Global, during a panel discussion at the New York Times' Women in the World Summit on Thursday. Huffington added that many female employees at Thrive Global have expressed the desire to take their children to school early in the morning—at time that usually conflicts with work.
"If the team knows that, they can arrange the schedule around conference calls, et cetera, accordingly. But women have been reluctant to say that because they feel they are going to be categorized of being on the 'mommy track,'" she said.
But that fear isn't necessarily illegitimate. Women typically suffer workplace-related consequences after having a child, commonly known as the "Motherhood Penalty." Research shows that new moms are perceived to have lower competence and commitment, and they face higher professional expectations and a lower chance of hiring and promotion when compared with men and childless women.
Fellow panelist Miki Tsusaka, the managing director of the Boston Consulting Group, stressed the importance of men helping out with household chores—something that women have been found to spend nearly twice as much time as men on. Women are often expected to take care of most of the household work, Tsusaka said, sometimes to the point where it becomes another "job" on top of the one that they might already have.
Indeed, data from a 2015 Bureau of Labor Statistics study found that 50% of women across the United States reported doing household chores on an average day, compared to only 22% of men—an imbalance that could be damaging women's health.
As for improving the work-life balance, panelist Susan Wojcicki, the CEO of Youtube, called on men to help. "We need our male leaders to embrace and support women across the board," she said. "I feel like I've benefited from different men reaching out and supporting me."
