"L'intelligence émotionnelle n'est pas l'opposé de l'intelligence ce n'est pas le triomphe du cœur sur la tête c'est l'intersection unique des deux"

Daniel Goleman

Simplified Meaning:

Understanding and using your feelings wisely is just as important as being smart with your mind. Imagine you have two friends: one is really good at math and science, while the other knows how to calm you down when you’re upset and cheer you up. Emotional intelligence is like combining these two friends. For example, if you're working on a group school project and someone is frustrated because they don’t understand the task, being emotionally intelligent means you help them feel better and explain things in a way they understand. It's not just about knowing the facts (being book smart) or just caring about them (being empathetic); it's about using both together. In life, someone with emotional intelligence can handle stress better, communicate more effectively, and build stronger relationships. So, by blending your feelings with your thoughts, you can solve problems and interact with others in a more balanced and effective way.
