The Emotional Intelligent

It's has been a busy week. Last week, my aunt and uncle from Ausie come to Singapore for a short trip and visit. Not only them, a very best friend of mine came to Singapore for job interview and short vacation as well. Lets hurray for Yeow Chuan as he just got offerer to work in Singapore.

I've been borrowing a book from him before I graduate. By accident, I did not noticed that it was all along inside my car. I kept it inside my car for years and I just couldn't finished reading this book - "The Emotional Intelligent". So, before I head back to Penang for chinese new year, I tried to complete it yet I failed to finish the whole book. After coming back to Singapore for a week, I've been a slump. I stop reading in MRT and bus. I was so lazy that week :p. Suddenly, I received a call from him again one day. (Forgot when already) He told me he is coming to Singapore for interview. That is the time where I'm so determined to return what I owed him for years and continue the rest of the chapters. Good enough I managed to complete all before he went back to Penang again.

As a summary, the book is describing our very right side of the human brain which control all the emotional and rational thinking. I found the book very interesting as it taught me how to be rational and optimistic when we are having negative emotional (example: angry, scare, anxious and many more which stimulate our body metabolism and secrete more enzyme in our body). Not only that, the book also taught me how to control and suppress all the negative emotions as all these negative emotions shorten your lifespan, according to researches.

In a nutshell, this book is teaching you on how to grow your EQ. IQ are predetermined but EQ are not. People with high IQ not necessary have high EQ, but all the success people in the world definitely have high EQ.

Good at commenting other but Bad at acting on ownself

Many people like to comment. They comment everything and anything which can be commented. While they are commenting, they like to talk and teach others how and what action should be taken or practiced. Basically it sounds like this "Aiyoo, I think arr... it should be like this leh, not like that la. It should not be done like this, it must be done like that la. It can't be like this leh, I think it should be like that lo. And so on..." Not only at comments, they like to teach people what to do; talk on how should be done as well.

But, when it comes to real life practice, they can not make it themselves. They are incapable of achieving what they'd commented, told and taught to others. Typically, it is easier to talk then to act. Actions consume large body metabolism compared to talking. Human tend to save energy in limbic motion but like to use up the saved energy in other part of the body - mouth motions. Thats why human only think and comment in the future. All the actions and steps will be done by robots or automations. In the future, like scientists prediction, human will evolve to have a small torso and limb but big head to cater for bigger brain. I think I've to add another comment, not only big head, also big mouth for more eating and more talking. Actually, there's nothing wrong with this behavior. The only thing is that people might not be trusting your words and think that you are boastful only.

Like myself, a typical and normal human being, I have tons of comments and ideas on telling other people how to do and what to do. (I've just commented on the above statement (-_-") ). When it come to practice, I've gave even more tons of excuses and reason on it... Therefore from now onwards, I must not practice this kind of habits. (Actually realized long time ago but give myself a lot of excuse and in the end fail in eliminating this bad habit (-_-") ). In order to be a successful person, now I must really set my mind to omit and reject this behavior once and for all. As a friend of mine, please help me to remind me if I did this same mistake again. I'll only say what ever I'm capable of doing and where my limit stands. So correct me if I'm wrong. I'll be really grateful if you all do so to me.
