Expert Solution

Step 1

As per Maslow's hierarchy of needs, fulfillment of basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, etc is the primary need of human beings. If they remain unfulfilled, it is highly unlikely that a person will remain happy. Happiness involves the experience of positive emotions & satisfaction. This experience is influenced by several factors beyond the fulfillment of basic needs such as physical/mental illnesses, loss of loved ones, financial difficulties, etc. Every person wants to succeed at whatever he attempts to do. According to psychologists, those who have a growth mindset and are optimistic & flexible, are more likely to achieve success.
