It's Not All About IQ. Emotional Intelligence Matters Too!

Now, I know what you're thinking. Emotional Intelligence? That sounds like something out of a "Happy Days" episode. Well, the meaning of "emotional intelligence" or EQ is not known by many, but this article describes it as the ability to understand and manage one's emotions. On the other hand, our brain's ability to solve issues is governed by an important factor called the intelligence quotient or IQ, which rates our level of intellect.You might be shocked to learn that those with high EQ enjoy life more than those with high IQ.

Emotional intelligence is just as important as your raw intelligence, otherwise known as your IQ. Also, EQ is a lot more important than logical, analytical, and other skills. In our lives, many people get influenced by their relatives and friends who are more emotional. Whether they are happy or sad, we often follow that person's way of life so closely. Although everyone is equally capable of showing emotions, the emotional intelligence of some individuals is more advanced than others. On top of that, emotional intelligence is a key to communication in life, whether it's with your family, friends, or strangers.

Furthermore, it can also help you connect with people on a deeper level, even if they come from different backgrounds than you. The bottom line is that everyone has emotions, and everyone can use emotional intelligence to interact effectively and feel fulfilled. Meanwhile, a person with high EQ can make more fruitful decisions based on their feelings and can lead a more productive team. EQ helps you to have better relationships with others, understand yourself better and achieve your life goals.

Emotional intelligence is a powerful thing. It's like your body's way of communicating with you. But here's the thing: emotional intelligence isn't just about how you feel about things—it's about how you communicate with others, too. And when you're interacting with people, there are some major things to keep in mind: timing, tone, and empathy are all really important parts of emotional intelligence. In today's world, IQ matters as much as EQ does. It is harder to get good grades without having good EQ than it is to have good grades without having good EQ. IQ and EQ are not mutually exclusive! They go hand in hand and they work together to help people reach their full potential.

People with low EQ, on the other hand, are typically too self-absorbed and closed off to understand or value ideas.They struggle to express themselves. Low EQ frequently causes misunderstandings. Moreover, those who lack emotional intelligence struggle to regulate their negative emotions, which leads to behavioral problems including tantrums and hasty split-second responses.

In conclusion, the significance of EQ can not be overlooked. It's one major thing that makes an impact and changes the overall thought process of a person (you could also call it "taking responsibility" for our actions/words).In brief, if IQ is about how brilliant a person is, then EQ is about how sensitive, aware, and conscious one is. Here I intend to provide a balanced view of emotional intelligence, or EQ in the context of what matters in our lives. It will not be an overnight wonder or quick-fix solution, but the fundamentals I aim to share are both simple and practical.

The solution of everything

  The topic “Financial Independence” can sound a bit elderly . One might get some eyerolls as well if he starts talking about that topic. But in my opinion it's one of the most important things in a person's life. People who grew up in wealth might not pay that much interest in this topic and from a middle class peoples perspective “money has always been the root of all evil”. As a result it has left untouched in both part of the society. It has been a taboo throughout the years. People who talk about it are often considered evil or bad people, and usually people are not comfortable having conversation about this topic. In my opinion, every person should try and achieve financial independence. It gives a person freedom to pursue whatever they like, it makes people more generous, and financial independence brings out the best in people. Moreover, financial independence will work as a deterrent from many of the discrimination and abuse that is currently happening. Firstly I'v...

Hayao Miyazaki : The Traditionalist

Image
  “Do everything by hand, even when using the computer.” -Hayao Miyazaki   In the age of modern art and animation, Hayao Miyazaki is someone who has stuck with the traditional style and has colored the world with it. In contrast to other animators, Hayao Miyazaki is not a fan of 3D animation which has resulted in his works having a 2D hand-drawn look. Each movie by Miyazaki has a vibrant and diverse theme.  Miyazaki's films have been diverse while remaining faithful to his fundamental foundations of traditional art and animation, from the tale of a plane engineer in " The Wind Rises " (2013) to a simple children's fable in " My Neighbor Totoro " (1988) to a country at war in " Howl's Moving Castle ." (2004) His films never have sequels since he tells a different story in each one, yet they consistently contain themes like the interaction between humans and nature, environmentalism, Japanese mythology, etc. Hayao Miyazaki, who calls himsel...

Should women be allowed to have fun?

Image
As the FIFA World Cup 2022 came to an end on the 18th of this December, we see the streets of Dhaka decorated with Argentina flags and a good chunk of people wearing Argentina jerseys. Throughout this whole football season, we hear reports of verbal fights, physical clashes and violent assaults over disagreements on football; yet we don't hold them with nearly the same disdain and ridicule as we hold towards teenage girls. To the general public, nothing is funnier than humiliating a girl for simply existing. Why do women have interests? People fixate on and hold deep interests for the purpose of entertainment and relieving the stress of their hectic days. It recharges our minds and maintains our emotional well-being. Otherwise, our life would become monotonous; living would no longer feel like a necessity and want but rather a punishment. Similarly, women also need stress relief in the form of entertainment and interests. Women, especially young girls, might need it more than othe...
