Emotional Intelligence....

I am reading a business article on the above by Dr Travis Bradberry and he stated this "If you have a firm grasp of whom you are, it’s difficult for someone to say or do something that gets your goat".

 Its got me thinking.... I have my reservations but what do you think?😊

    Wow! This just sums up a situation I found myself in yesterday. While I understand/respect the author's point of view, I do not totally agree because I believe that people are wired differently, so it all comes down to personality (people perceive and react to situations differently). That being said though, if one really aim for the top, you must be resilient in not allowing anyone to break you down and learn not to take offense. I'll like to read other people thoughts on this topic too. xx

      Yes Folake I understand your perspective, I am also of the opinion that one size does not fit all and I disagree with the author in some instances. That said, I understand his view point. We have to take responsibility of our 'reactions' if we must stay focused on the bigger picture. Distraction is really dangerous but plays out in subtle manners that we tend to ignore. The key however is to keep working on our 'selves' and one day, we will attain 'mastery'
