Emotional Quotient Quotes

“Emotional self-control-- delaying gratification and stifling impulsiveness- underlies accomplishment of every sort”
― Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

“Mind Quotient (Sonnet 1209)

Throw away all stupidity of IQ and EQ,
They are but stain upon mind's honor.
To quantify intelligence is stupid,
To quantify emotion is even stupider.

When the feeble psyche seeks reassurance,
It craves comfort in all sorts of nonsense.
Most times it resorts to the supernatural,
Exhausting that it resorts to pseudoscience.

It is no mark of mental progress to replace
supernatural bubble with pseudoscience bubble.
No matter how they try to sell you security,
Know that, human potential is unquantifiable.

IQ is no measure of intelligence,
EQ is no measure of emotion either.
But craving for IQ and EQ is symptom
of a shallow and feeble character.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science
