Once these needs are satisfied, human climb up the ladder of needs & move towards security- i.e job security & securing basic needs. After this one pursues higher-level goals, like social recognition of his work. This includes public applause & finally, the final stage of higher order needs is 'self actualization'. This is working for inner happiness & foody true purpose of life. For example - philanthropists like Arun Pranij now do work for self actualization & inner happiness - donated 1000cr during COVID-19.
