However, perception of relevance and importance based on human relations has the ability to go a long way in facilitating fulfilling lives, even on limited resources (Bowdon 275).

[...] The implication is that their income is barely enough for survival. Therefore, these people have no time for quests in to their identities. The implication is that the emphasis of realization of potential to the general population is counterproductive The increased emphasis on motivation is a result of the relationship between high levels of performance and intrinsic motivators such as the opportunity to advance.
