After much excitement and anticipation, The Maslow Time Square hotel in Pretoria is ready to open.

The opening of The Maslow Time Square hotel is the super-exciting finale that will not only mark the end of the R4.6-billion development project that began in 2016, but will also herald the beginning of the property’s bright journey into the future!
The casino was the fi rst phase of the property to open in April 2017, followed by the state-ofthe-art Sun Arena in November 2017. Bookings are already open and the hotel will welcome its first guests from 28 March. The official public opening of this, the third and fi nal phase of the Time Square complex, will take place in April. Brett Hoppé, General Manager of the Time Square complex, says the launch of the hotel represents a journey of developing and executing a three-phase opening that has stretched over the last 12 months.
He says: ‘Seeing a year-long journey come to fruition is incredibly rewarding. The opening of every phase of the project was something special, from the fireworks and light show at the launch of the casino, to the arena opening its doors, to our Unison Celebration show, which brought together South Africa’s favourite musicians for a free concert in November 2017. It’s been a special journey with lots of hard work and extreme pressure, but we now have a huge sense of accomplishment!’

The time has come

A trailblazing first for Sun International and South Africa, The Maslow Time Square hotel features a variety of accommodation options for customers, from three-star value to five-star luxury, all housed under one roof.
‘The hotel is a hybrid model that offers guests 238 rooms and 12 suites,’ Hoppé explains. ‘The three-star floors will be referred to as the Foundation Level, which is made up of 96 rooms in total. The four-star, or Median Level, will have 94 rooms available, and the fi ve-star, or Zenith Level, will house 48 luxurious rooms. There will also be a presidential suite at the hotel.’
Located in the heart of the technologically advanced Menlyn Maine Precinct, The Maslow Time Square hotel will offer customers unrivalled access to entertainment, top retail outlets and the fi nest culinary experiences on offer in Pretoria. It has also been cleverly designed to cater to all our customers’ daily business needs, with relaxing business lounges and 13 conference rooms. Guests will also have easy access to the Sun Arena, a state-of-the-art 8 500-seater, multipurpose venue that’s super-equipped to host events and concerts of all kinds, featuring four private hospitality suites and two meeting rooms. Another huge draw card is the Time Square Casino, which is the second largest casino in South Africa, with 2 000 slot machines and 60 games tables for guests to enjoy.

A benefit for the community, too

Hoppé says the R4.6-billion Time Square development has far-reaching benefi ts for Sun International as well as the surrounding community of Tshwane. ‘Having the ability to host our customers in our own hotel will positively influence our gaming customers’ experience at Time Square,’ Hoppé adds.
He says being involved in the roll-out of this, the third phase in the Time Square development, has taught him the importance of having a strong team around you and to never quit. He says: ‘Perseverance is crucial when you are under pressure – it enables you to accomplish things that you never thought were possible!’

“Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but … life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.”
― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

What is self-actualization? Expressing one’s creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and the desire to give to society are examples of self-actualization. Take away a man/woman’s food, shelter, warmth, security, sense of belongingness et cetera and it will be impossible to ever reach any self-actualization. Our minds would be too wrapped up in other things, trying to become stable. That same man or woman may have an inherent ability to become a great doctor, writer, artist and so on, but that is all at a stand-still.

If one lives a life that is opposite of their nature, things can go wrong because of the basic focus of human needs. One may develop an anxiety or other stresses and not reach that inherent spark. In order to be satisfied, one has to find their flow. If one is able to find tasks that is balancing with one’s own flow; then one would be satisfied.

What is your flow?

Most of us find ourselves doing tasks which may cause boredom, and tasks that are below our abilities can cause anxiety. However, tasks that matches one’s own abilities allows one to experience their flow.

If an organism is determined to do a standard job, and has not been able to; then, the whole body reflects. At any moment one has a time to reflect on self-actualization–it is not a goal to be reached at sometime in the future, but rather what is one’s potential, here and now.

What are your capabilities?

Self-actualization cannot be achieved until lower necessities are met. Although I say this, self-actualization rarely happens, certainly in less than 1% of the adult population. This is because most of us function at a lower level than that of self actualization.

Self-actualizing people tend to possess an unusual ability to detect the spurious, the fake, and dishonesty in a personality, and in general to judge people correctly and efficiently. A self-actualizer is a person who is living creatively and using his or her potentials.

Self-actualization is about becoming “fully human.”

Characteristics of Self-Actualized People By Abraham Maslow

In addition to describing what is meant by self-actualization in his theory, Abraham Maslow identified some of the key characteristics of self-actualized people:

• Acceptance and Realism:

Self-actualized people have realistic perceptions of themselves, others and the world around them.

• Problem-centering:

Self-actualized individuals are concerned with solving problems outside of themselves, including helping others and finding solutions to problems in the external world. These people are often motivated by a sense of personal responsibility and ethics.

• Spontaneity:

Self-actualized people are spontaneous in their internal thoughts and outward behavior. While they can conform to rules and social expectations, they also tend to be open and unconventional.

• Autonomy and Solitude:

Another characteristic of self-actualized people is the need for independence and privacy. While they enjoy the company of others, these individuals need time to focus on developing their own individual potential.

• Continued Freshness of Appreciation:

Self-actualized people tend to view the world with a continual sense of appreciation, wonder and awe. Even simple experiences continue to be a source of inspiration and pleasure.

• Peak Experiences:

Individuals who are self-actualized often have what Maslow termed peak experiences, or moments of intense joy, wonder, awe and ecstasy. After these experiences, people feel inspired, strengthened, renewed or transformed.
