It is family that teaches us the give and take of life . . . or at least, it...
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
On the rare occasions that I watch any reality TV, I am always reminded of the sheer lack of emotional intelligence in people. I often wonder if people know what emotional intelligence actually is, or if they ever think to consciously use it? Emotions . . . we all know what these are. Intelligence . . . this is rare in people. Many people do not know the difference between our intelligence and ...
