“If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.”
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
Being smart alone isn't enough to be successful. You also need to understand your own feelings, control upsetting emotions, care about others, and build good relationships.
