esteem which motivates individual to struggle for achievement, strength, confident, independence, and freedom whereas a need for esteem from others
include the needs of the social status, recognition, independence, appreciation by others of one‘s abilities, and a feeling of importance 1981: 303-304. In

lives makes her become precious to human‘s community. ―I think we need you pretty bad, kid. We got Seekers out there lookin‘
for us, and you can talk right to ‗em. The rest of us can‘t do that. You save lives.‖ 2013: 777
