People with well-developed emotional skills are ... more likely to be content and effective in their lives, mastering the habits of the mind that foster their own productivity; people who cannot marshal some control over their emotional life fight battles that sabotage their ability for focused work and clear thought.

— Daniel Goeman, "Emotional Intelligence"

2020-01-21 17:36:55 UTC  

We have an emotional mind and a rational mind. In large part, our emotional mind developed to help us survive. When man first wandered the earth, any time he encountered some new experience he needed to make instant decisions about whether the encounter involved something he could eat or something that might try to eat him. Relying on the rational mind, which works much slower than the emotional mind, might have meant the end of mankind. The emotional mind springs into action more quickly than the rational mind. But unless we learn to control the emotional mind, we will make lots of bad decisions and poor choices.

1. EQ has a greater impact on success than other factors.

It has been said that your IQ can land you a job, but your lack of EQ can get you fired. Your IQ only accounts for 20% of your success in life. Your emotional intelligence and social intelligence are much greater determinants of the success you will achieve in life.

2. The ability to delay gratification is a primary indicator of future success.

Delayed gratification is the top predictor of future success. People who are able to pay the price today and delay the rewards are much more likely to succeed in life. Unfortunately we have become a nation seeking instant gratification. This shows up in our everyday lives in the foods we choose to eat, the buy-now-pay-later way of life, our difficulty in adhering to an exercise regimen, and putting mindless entertainment ahead of self-development.

3. High EQ leads to healthy relationships with others.

Our emotional skills have a direct and important bearing on our relationships with others. We need to understand our feelings, where they come from, and how to properly express them. We will not maintain healthy relationships unless we can control our emotions, communicate our feelings in a constructive manner, and understand the feelings of others.

4. Emotional health impacts physical health.

There is a direct connection between our emotional health and our physical health. If our lives are filled with stress, our physical health suffers. It has been estimated that well over 80% of our health problems are stress-related. We experience stress primarily because we are not comfortable emotionally. We need to understand the link between our emotional health and our physical health.

5. Poor EQ is linked to crime and other unethical behaviors.

Unfortunately, there's a direct connection between poor emotional skills and the rising crime rate. Children who have poor emotional skills become social outcasts at a very young age. They might become the class bully because of a hot temper. They may have learned to react with fists rather than with reason. Poor social and emotional skills contribute to poor attention in class as well as feelings of frustration. Such students rapidly fall behind in school, and may tend to make friends with others in the same boat. The path to crime starts early in life. While there's no doubt that family and environment are strong contributors, the common thread is poor emotional and social skills.

This is one case where an ounce of prevention would certainly be worth a pound of cure. The cost of intervention when a child is in grade school is minor compared to the cost of jailing them in their teens and twenties.

People with high EQ are more successful its quite of a known fact rn

Going back to the science thing, I largely agree with you in terms of Western Europe

2020-01-21 19:11:17 UTC  

It was the Arabs who helped bring back lost knowledge to the West

2020-01-21 19:11:38 UTC  

Western Europe was fucked H A R D by Rome’s collapse

2020-01-21 19:11:38 UTC  

However, as you even mentioned, in Byzantium they largely did keep their philosophy and advancements

2020-01-21 19:12:02 UTC  

And even made new ones

2020-01-21 19:12:05 UTC  

Like Greek fire

2020-01-21 19:12:15 UTC

2020-01-21 19:12:21 UTC

2020-01-21 19:12:23 UTC  

It isn't napalm

2020-01-21 19:12:29 UTC

2020-01-21 19:12:39 UTC

2020-01-21 19:14:42 UTC  

@OrthoNinten like, are you saying they just translated and copied?

2020-01-21 19:16:34 UTC  

Islamic golden age itself had many other discoveries

2020-01-21 19:17:39 UTC  

And inventions

2020-01-21 19:28:39 UTC  

Yes

2020-01-21 19:28:55 UTC  

But a lot of it also came from the ancient Greeks and Byzantines

2020-01-21 19:29:04 UTC  

These are translations
