Answer for EQ Question One

Answer for EQ Question One ü Analyze reasons for the defeat and course correct as indicated. Your idea may be very good but the others may not understand it and just reject it rather than show any lack of knowledge—or you may not understand the big picture the others see. Feeling totally put down and taking it personally and broadcasting how unfair you think this was helps no one—and it could even may you look bad (e.g., not a team player, unwilling to compromise, don’t know as much as you think you know...). Yes, winning and losing are part of life but if you fail to analyze reasons your idea was not accepted a good idea may die on the vine. Perhaps you need to figure out a different way of presenting it or realize that it isn’t the best option in this case after all. Waiting for the next opportunity to beat your opponents shows a very high level of competitiveness and while you may “win” in the short term you may “lose” in the long term, as too much competitiveness is likely as detrimental as no sense of competition at all. Remember, it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese.

EQ Assessment

EQ does not show up in IQ tests because it is separate from IQ¾and yet EQ matters more than anything else in determining your overall success in life both personally and professionally. Some researchers are working on developing EQ assessments that eventually may be used in hiring and evaluating personnel Dr. Dalip Singh, PhD of India and author of Emotional Intelligence at Work is one of those researchers. He has drafted an assessment (examples of which are in his book). The few example questions that follow represent the type of questions being considered. Answer each one for yourself and figure out the reason you selected that particular response. Singh’s “answer” is included in the next blog posting.

Dangling Participles II

Happy July 4th! Here are more of a grammatical faux pas: Dangling Participles.

·       Sleeping in mine orchard, a serpent stung me. ·       Running after the school bus, the backpack bounced from side to side. ·       Petting his head, my dog enjoyed my company. ·       Waiting for the Moon pie, the candy machine began to hum loudly. ·       Broken into pieces, I swept up the glass. ·       Coming out of the market, the bananas fell on the pavement. ·       I smelled the oysters coming down the stairs for dinner.

Emotional Maturity

Emotional sensitivity is like an early warning system that allowing you to pick up on potential conflict and problems before either escalates into a tornado of emotion. Emotional sensitivity help you to: Respond appropriately to emotional stimuli of low intensity (e.g., you don’t need to be hit over the head with high intensity levels of emotion to get your attention) Be empathetic (empathy differs from sympathy. Sympathy is the ability to care about and understand the suffering of others. Empathy goes beyond sympathy, and permits you to experience the feelings of another person at some level. Both words are often used--incorrectly as being interchangeable--but they differ subtly in their emotional meaning) Experienced improved interpersonal relationships; you tend to  live at ‘joy’ and are not knocked down by the choices of others) Communicate positively with positive emotion (mindset, self-talk, affirmation-style of speaking)
