  The ability to reason and problem-solve, based on the emotions we experience
• There is an ongoing debate about whether emotional intelligence can be learned. Perhaps the importance lies in knowing that Emotional Intelligence does exist. Through our knowledge about it, we can work toward recognizing, interpreting, and managing the emotions of others and ourselves more effectively. By making a conscious effort to be more aware of and sensitive to how others feel, by becoming more aware of our feelings and emotions, we can always find a resolution that will lead us to grow and become more productive individuals – the goal is really to avoid impulsive reactions to emotions and be intelligent enough about how we use them to guide our actions.
