Success In College and University Article

For those of you who know of students attending college or university, you just might want to alert them to the following article simply called Success in College and University. Life in college or university should not just be on studying. There are other things to do not only for fun, but for picking up important skills that will be useful for future careers and life in general. Many of these skills cannot be learned in the classroom or lecture hall. Overall success in college or university involves a balance. And for the rest of us, this same type of balance should be with us for life. That's why it is important to get these college kids into the right habit early. Check out the article for more on this.

What Is Emotional Intelligence?

I was astounded to hear that only about 15% of the general population has high emotional intelligence. And this figure has nothing to do with general intelligence, wealth or education. The last fact I wasn't surprised with since I have come across many smart people who have trouble managing their emotions. In fact, this doesn't depend on the level of awards one has achieved at Toastmasters either!

But the 15% figure is shocking but maybe indicates that we all need more training on emotional intelligence, especially in order to be successful in life since success often depends on so much on how we interact with others. Here's a good article on emotional intelligence.
