EQ

I heard today that something called your "Emotional Quotient" can be a determinant in your success, both personally and professionally.

"EQ" can be described as an emotional intelligence... The ability to effectively understand oneself and others and to relate well to people by adapting to and coping with your immediate surroundings.*

I find it well within people that speak their minds. Maybe not so much the "unfiltered"... But in the ones that express thoughts and ideas without injecting the emotion they're influenced by at the moment.

I find it in the ones that have lived an experience and choose to extract truths and facts instead of perceptions and assumptions.

And because this is a talent I so duly respect, I am making it my goal to keep my emotions in check... To focus on the many great things my experiences are here to teach me.

...Although, I get the feeling that no matter how hard I try, logic and reason will never quietly stand alone...
