You’ll be surprised to find out a lot of people are thought by their parents and close friends what they “can’t do”. It happened to me too, I was raised with the phrase: “you’re not good enough” and yes it took it’s toll.
Think it’s why I became fascinated with personal development. Ever since I went to the University and got rid of my parents and their influence I’ve been constantly trying to improve myself, my social intelligence and my emotional intelligence(EQ).
A conclusion of my studies in the science of how people think and relate to one another would be that the most important step in personal development is believing in yourself and accepting what you are with your flaws and strong suits.
Maybe you’ll find this funny but i think emotional intelligence is the most important aspect in a human being’s life, much more important than IQ. So EQ > IQ. Unless you like being really smart and hated by everyone 🙂
So until next time, kindly take a moment and think about this: do you believe in yourself and your dreams?
If you still need inspiration and motivation, I’ll let Suzie McNeil and Canada’s National Arts Center Orchestra give you a boost.(Canada for the win!)

I strongly agree with this. It's not always the smartest people that make it in life, it's the ones that believe in themselves and follow what they want in life.
They are the ones that do things and make life be what they want it to be.

Maybe you had some highschool colleagues that were really “smart” and were “the best students” in the class and now they are almost nothing….and after de university they will be worse.You are very right with this : “So EQ > IQ. Unless you like being really smart and hated by everyone :)”
I belive in myself and my dreams and I always say that I will make something grate in my life…

Id be silly to believe my actual dreams, they get pretty weird.
totally agree about emotional intelligence being the most important. I also think its something that comes to you over time.
Its the way in which we interact with the world around us and other living creatures that represent who we are as human beings.

I'd prefer to be smart because I dont need people that say I'm a nice person. With such intellect I'd try to solve some problems in the world and accept that many people hate me. But at least I'm making the world a better place to live.

I like your outlook on emotional intelligence over mental intelligence. Obviously a little bit of everything is good as you can be so in touch with your emotion but being dumb as a rock, you would get frustrated still.
It's good to learn and improve your IQ, but better to maintain empathy for other people.
