We need to try to listen and communicate respectfully if we are to work through tough conversations...

A re post: ...here are four types of Intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm:

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.

When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider su***de.

Parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports and Arts.

Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.

Finally, do not prepare the road for your children. Prepare your children for the road."

A good reminder that we not only support kids in how to express themselves and their emotions but learn to understand them too.

Difference between emotions & feelings.

It is common to confuse emotions and feelings. An emotion is in some sense latent, or underlying, and can only ever be felt through the feelings that it gives rise to. A feeling is therefore an emotional experience, and is conscious, just like the physical sensations of hunger or pain. Emotions give way to feelings. We find it helpful to think of an emotion as a chemical reaction to what is happening in the mind, which results in a feeling. That helps to remind us that emotions are linked to a chemical process that results from what is going on in the mind. Emotions, and the feelings that accompany them, are therefore the result of processes happening in our mind (whether they are conscious, subconscious or even unconscious). . . . #emotionalintelligence #emotionalfitness #wellbeing #mentalhealth #thoughts #feelings #emotions
