For unless you are able to feel sadness (and its relatives: sobbing, grief and tears), you will forever be avoiding sadness. Avoidance makes you prone to addictive behavior, psychosomatic symptoms, high levels of anxiety and acting-out skewed behavior.
How can EQ Help?
To be successful and survive in today's society, individuals need to have the necessary communication and organizational skills to make sound decisions and interact with each other. Goleman argues that an individual's success at work is 80 percent dependent on emotional quotient and only 20 percent dependent on intelligence quotient. This is because EQ components are useful in assisting employees with decision-making in areas like teamwork, inclusion, productivity, and communication.
EQ versus IQ Basis in hiringThere are multiple aspects to
emotional intelligence, but homing in on these three in the interview process will go a long way toward identifying candidates with high EQ--and eliminating those likely to destroy more value than they create:
Self-awareness and self-regulation
The candidate understands the needs and wishes that drive him and how they affect his behavior. He regulates his emotions so that any fear, anger, or anxiety he experiences doesn't spread to his colleagues or make him lose control.
Reading others and recognizing the impact of his behavior on them
The candidate has well-developed emotional and social "radar" and can sense how his words and actions influence his colleagues.
The ability to learn from mistakes He can
acknowledge his mistakes, reflect critically upon them, and learn from them.

Spiritual quotient
" explains Ram Mohan, a Vedanta teacher, "is about the growth of a human being.
It is about moving on in life. having a direction in life and
being able to heal ourselves of all the resentment we carry.
It is thinking of ourselves as an expression of a higher reality.
It is also about how we look at the resources available to us,
Arnand Tendolkar, a workshop leader, says:
"For me spiritual intelligence is about pondering over my life's purpose.
Spiritual intelligence motivates people to balance their work schedules to spend time with the family.
The transformative power of SQ IQ primarily solves logical problems. EQ allows us to judge the situation we
are in and behave appropriately. SQ allows us to ask if we want to be in
that situation in the first place.
It might motivate us to create a new one. SQ has little connection to formal religion. Atheists and humanists may have high SQ while someone actively religious may not.
Advantages of SQ
Tension Free Life Self awareness Free from alcohols and other drugs Support of society Less depression Self Confidence
