Quote by Abraham Maslow
One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that the primary challenge one encounters is not external competition but rather one's own untapped capabilities. The true measure of failure lies in not fully realizing one's own potential. Every individual has the capacity for greatness and should be regarded and respected as such. Each person has the ability to rise to their own royal stature, and thus must be treated with the dignity and esteem befitting of a king.
