　　情商的定义及其四大内涵

　　Emotional intelligence defines EQ, which stands for emotional quotient, is a fairly new concept in the scientific community, yet it has become one of the most controversial topics. For thousands of years, people have thought that IQ is destiny, but it has turned out to be not nearly as much as we thought. Daniel Goleman, a psychology professor at Harvard, wrote a ground-breaking book about the EQ factor. His book argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that matter immensely in terms of how well we do in life. To be emotionally intelligent relies on many factors, which include knowing one?s feelings and using them to make life decisions they can live with.

　　1. Being able to manage one?s emotional life without being hijacked by itnot being paralyzed by depression or worry, or swept away by anger.

　　2. Persisting in the face of setbacks and channeling one?s impulses in order to pursue their goals.

　　3. Empathyreading other people?s emotions without their having to tell you what they are feeling.

　　4. Handling feelings in relationships with skill and harmonybeing able to articulate the unspoken pulse of a group, for example.

　　自尊与情商

　　Self-esteem, like optimism, is essential in order to maintain a healthy emotional life. People who have confidence in themselves, their ideas and views, and what they are all about tend to be more emotionally stable than people who lack self-confidence. Being self-confident gives people the impression that you are reliable and trustworthy. Studies have showed that children who lack self-esteem are more likely to have emotional problems such as depression, violent fits and suicidal tendencies. People who have high self-esteem are less likely to be affected by any negative comments; they know that it?s what they think of themselves that counts.
