Plateau experiencing can be achieved, learned, earned by long hard work.... A transient glimpse is certainly possible in the peak experiences which may, after all, come sometimes to anyone. But, so to speak, to take up residence on the high plateau .... that is another matter altogether. That tends to be a lifelong effort.

The peaker learns surely and certainly that life can be worthwhile, that it can be beautiful and valuable. There are ends in life, i.e., experiences which are so precious in themselves as to prove that not everything is a means to some end other than itself.

Every person is, in part, 'his own project' and makes himself.

He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail.

The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.

If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
