 Emotional intelligence is very powerful and essential, yet undervalued in our society and among people. The importance of emotional intelligence in all interpersonal relationships cannot be over emphasized. Let's take a look at different works of life and the importance of emotional intelligence to thrive in them.  🔑 1. Workplace: A lack of emotional intelligent skills result in workplace conflicts and misunderstanding. This dynamic often stems from an inability to recognize or comprehend emotions. It is one of the most sought-after interpersonal skill in the work place. Note: A popularly cited survey from 2011 showed that 71% of employers valued emotional intelligence in an employee over IQ. In fact, 59% of employers would not hire someone if they had a high IQ but low EI.   🔑 2. Education: The importance of Emotional intelligence (EI) in education is seen in the ability to identify, name and manage emotions. This provides the learner with foundation for problem-solvi...

From the moment of birth, a child starts developing behavioural habits and pick up information. They pick up information related to MONEY through parental modeling, ADVERTISEMENTS, societal and PEER PRESSURES: because of this, they want to SPEND To SPEND MEANINGFULLY, they need GOOD FOUNDATION ON FINANCIAL LITERACY. Despite how important financial skills are to navigating life, it’s surprising that OUR SCHOOLS DON’T TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT MONEY.                                                                                     *   *    *    *    *    *    *    *   ...

Have you ever dressed up and you feel like you have 'nailed' it but then you see someone else dress so good, you look at your self and feel "Wow he (or she) looks much better: I don't look as good as I thought". Funny right? Well, something like this happens often. The interesting part is that that person you are admiring may also be admiring you ; wishing they dressed like you, wishing they had the kind of body you have, wishing they were confident like you, wishing they were you.  That scenario I painted above is similar to what happens in life daily. You look at your life and you are dissatisfied with it. You begin to admire another person's achievements; their car, their house, their spouse... unknown to you that the same person you want to be like also wants to be like you. The person may want your voice, your smile, your fluency, your charisma: they may want those minor things you place little or no importance on in your life. THE MORAL Value what yo...

Empathy means identification with or understanding of the thoughts, feelings, or emotional state of another person. Children are usually more Empathic than adults. They easily identify with other people's feelings. That is why they hate violence in all its forms.  Have you noticed that when you cry, they cry? That is how Empathic they can be.  If adults can have this virtue, the world would be a better place. In Matthew 18:3, the Bible says: "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven". If only we can become like little children; not in their immaturity, but their innocence, their loyalty, their Empathy... the list of their enviable virtue is endless. Have you also noticed that they don't bear grudges? Wow. As long as their mind has not been 'polluted'; we can learn a whole lot of lessons from them. Look at a child around you today and learn a beautiful virtue from him/her. The...
