Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In Motivation and Personality (1954), Abraham Maslow states, “What a man can be, he must be". Maslow’s quote refers to self-actualization, which is the highest level or stage in his model of human motivation: the ‘Hierarchy of Needs ’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The concept of self-actualization was brought into the mainstream by Abraham Maslow when he introduced his “hierarchy of needs.” Today, self-actualization is a bit more widely known, but most psychology students still learn of it as the top level of Maslow’s pyramid.

Detailed explanation-3: -As it happens, Einstein was one of 18 subjects whose works and accomplishments were studied by Maslow in order to develop his original characteristics of self-actualization. Maslow determined that, despite personal setbacks, Einstein represented an objectively self-actualized individual.
