Intelligence (IQ) VS Emotional Intelligence (EQ), which is more important?
Some people will think that if I'm a genius, I will become a very successful person. Things might not be happen in this way. If a genius is controlled by his or her emotion, I'm sure he or she will never be success in life. People have an emotional and a rational mind, but most of the time, we tend to make decision according to our emotional mind which lead to a situation whereby you will regret with what you have done. Getting frustrated with making bad decision? Are you one of them?
Think again...why people facing depression? Why people commit suicide? Is it partly due to they are having low EQ?
Again...why a couple always argue over the same issue? Why not just find a better solution instead of just blaming each other all the time? Besides, nowadays, people tend to quarrel over some small matters and they tend to speak out some bad words unintended which may harm or hurt the other party. Is it something to do with EQ as well?
Above are some examples for showing the importance of EQ, but how about IQ? Is that means IQ not important at all? You are wrong, my dear. IQ is important whereby we should not neglect or ignore about it.
Think again, nowadays, requirement for most of the jobs need at least a diploma or a degree holder. Besides, if you wish to invent something, do you need IQ? I bet most of you will know the answer. In addition, you may hear that your boss sometimes shout at his or her employee..."I need a good solution for this" or "This is not good enough, I need something better" or maybe "please be more creative" Do you think EQ alone can solve all this? Or you need both IQ plus EQ only can satisfy your boss's demand?
Conclusion, my opinion is...EQ might be just slightly more important than IQ or maybe in certain extent, both of them are equally important. What do you think? You're welcome to share with me.
