There is an ongoing debate to promote Emotional Quotient (EM) as a more pragmatic determinant of sustainable human success. The debate seeks to challenge the old paradigm that human success depends on individual level of Intelligence measured by IQ. What is your definition of success in life? What constitutes failure? They say one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Is this old saying relevant in this debate? Is there any generally accepted definition of human success or failure?
I have seen many people considered to be of very high intelligence, yet some of them have ended their lives feeling totally unfulfilled. On the other hand, I have also seen people who started their early lives with very little chance of ever achieving success because of their perceived very low level of intelligence. Yet, some of them have gone ahead to make substantial contributions to their communities and to human progress, feeling totally self-fulfilled. What determines success or failure in life?
