Emotional intelligence and sucess

  Emotional intelligence could be understood as identifying and managing emotions of one's own and of others.

•  It includes self awareness, self regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.
• These are more like personality characteristics than either emotion or intelligence
• Self-identification and regulation help one to be aware of one self and use that to our advantage, e.g., Yuvraj Singh hitting six 6 
• Motivation helps one to achieve great goals, e.g., Micheal Phelps training for 365 days.
• Social skills and empathy helps to work in teams and get team work done, e.g., M S Dhoni motivating whole cricket teams

 Emotional quotient more necessary to success today than IQ.
