From my experience, I think one’s default stance is to assume that one’s opinion is correct all the time and even wonder why the whole world does not think in the same way. However, it takes a lot of self awareness to be able to understand that you are the kind of person who does not listen to anyone else’s opinion but expects others to listen to yours. We as people have to make the conscious effort to be more accommodating of other people’s point of view. If we do so, maybe we can all learn to live together peacefully.
Actually while writing this comment, It just occurred to me that I should write a post on emotional intelligence because one of the pillars of emotional intelligence is self awareness. 😊
Have you read Daniel Goleman's book titled Emotional Intelligence?
No I haven’t read the full book but I have read articles where his work was cited. When I was in the University, we were made to analyse several case studies where his work was cited. So I am quite familiar with Goleman, Mayer and Salovey.
Okay.. Just asked since your reply had the phrase Emotional Intelligence in it,which was the title of his book.
