Emotional Intelligence

“In a recent study, scientists discovered that a large percentage of people’s decisions were made purely out of impulse. However, when asked to explain those decisions, the subjects came up with all sorts of rational sounding reasons.
In other words, they would let their emotions get the better of them and they would make decisions, and then they would look for excuses or justifications that make it seem that their decisions made sense. When you control your emotions, you are less likely to let your emotions get the better of you. When you make a choice or you take action, you are more likely to do so based on a rational decision-making process.”
