“Emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it reflects how a person applies knowledge to the immediate situation.”
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
Being smart with your feelings can be more important for success than just having a lot of knowledge. Imagine two people at work: one is very intelligent but doesn't get along well with others. The other person understands their own feelings and the feelings of their colleagues. They know how to work well in a team, handle stress, and solve problems calmly. The second person is more likely to do well because they can manage their emotions and use their knowledge to deal with situations better. In real life, having good emotional skills helps in relationships, work, and daily life activities. By being aware of how you feel and how others feel, you can make better decisions and achieve your goals more effectively.
