We all should strive to grow as people, to overcome our flaws and accentuate our virtues. It’s good to want to evolve. The problem is that most people keep falling into the same traps over and over again. It all really boils down to talking about personal development all the time without actually getting any done. Why do we do this?

Remember that friend of yours who always knows just what to say in any situation without hurting anyone’s feelings? Or the one with the perfect poker face, who doesn’t get angry when most people would? These two people have a high degree of Emotional Intelligence and a high Emotional Quotient (EQ). This can be defined as the ability to understand, express and manage your own feelings and emotions, as well as understand and engage with the emotions of others.
