Many psychologists and scientists have proposed a topic that can help billions of people. The topic is emotional intelligence (EQ or EI). Even though the idea has been floated, few people know about the subject. The few people who have heard of EQ always misinterpret this magnificent subject. They believe that emotional intelligence is simply recognizing emotions. In reality, emotional intelligence is more complex than that. Emotional intelligence (EQ or EI) is the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. It also helps a person communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome obstacles, and resolve conflicts. Emotional intelligence affects a person's performance, physical health, and mental health. When an individual works, his or her ability to accept challenges, take on manageable work, and ensure that tasks are completed effectively and efficiently is classified as performance. A person performing poorly is usually due to fatigue, inability to recover, and/or lack of sleep. When worrying thoughts creep into the mind, it is difficult to cope with difficulties, but instead of paying attention to the task at hand, the mind wonders about problems such as paying bills, l feeding children at home and other various problems. Worrying about these strengths makes a person feel overwhelmed and will lead to poor performance. In a situation like this, knowing and developing emotional intelligence would be crucial. Emotional intelligence lets a person know that they worry too much and that if the job is done correctly, they will be able to get paid and pay for all those assets that come to mind. Additionally, emotional intelligence helps an overworked person stay calm and think before taking any action. Emotional intelligence has four components: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. Self-awareness is the “keystone” to self-realization (Goleman 47). This is the first step that a person will take when developing this skill. Self-awareness is recognizing your own emotions. Once a person gains self-awareness, self-management is there to control these strong, uncontrolled emotions. For example, a person may act out of anger without thinking because the person's strong emotion is overwhelming. Once self-management is developed, the person knows what to do to calm down. The other two elements concern taking into account the feelings of others..
