Emotional Intelligence means knowing how to understand and handle your own emotions and also others emotions. It is the ability to notice, understand, control, and use emotions in smart way. It helps you work better with people, manage stress, and become strong leader. Daniel Goleman's work shows EI is just as important as IQ in school and work life. IQ is about thinking and solving problems, but EQ is understanding feelings and working with people. Both are important, but EQ often helps more in real life success.

The idea that emotions leak through your body like facial expressions or tone of voice really made me notice how much we show without saying nothing. Also, learning that strong emotions like love or fear can turn into something bad if not controlled properly, shocked me. Goleman's view that EI can build better schools and workplaces made me see how powerful it is really.
