A Snapshot for Development

From the SEI-YV

"Emotional intelligence is being smart with feelings. This means paying attention to emotions and understanding them; then using that insight to make the best possible decisions.

Emotional intelligence is important because it provides a good foundation for feeling healthy, having quality relationships, being satisfied with life, having various personal achievements, and exercising self-efficacy. In short, good emotional intelligence capability enables you to thrive in life."
