"The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain." ― Daniel Goleman Topic(s): Intelligence More From Daniel Goleman "Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents, teachers, and with each other carry emotional messages." "When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills." "I would say that IQ is the strongest predictor of which field you can get into and hold a job in, whether you can be an accountant, lawyer or nurse, for example." More In Intelligence "People’s intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don’t tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups."― Robyn Hitchcock "These are Canadian and United States intelligence and law enforcement offices who are working in teams and who are using good intelligence and good law enforcement to really stop the criminals and terrorists before they ever get to the border."― Paul Cellucci "It’s very hard for a woman in comedy. It’s hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians."― Margaret Cho
