Emotional Intelligence is like the artillery ... walk softly and carry a big gun. When you have EQ, you can walk softly, because you have more confidence in handling yourself and in handling your emotions and those of others. It adds dignity to what would otherwise be a brawl.

At work or at home, we often must influence, direct and lead others. To do this, we must convince, and it's important to remember that you cannot reason OUR of someone what was not reasoned IN to them in the first place.
