This is a recent observatory fact, I have personally been confronted with..
During attending a session of 'Management Skills' , covering the facts & figures of 'Emotional Intelligence (EI) - at the workplace'; I was being encountered by an interesting question by the Professor, i.e.,"Do extremely emotional people fits well at their respective workplace???"
And my asnwer was kinda like - "Yes! They can!!"
Guess what!
Prof. gave me a look with one eyebrow-up & the moment I realised instantly, "Oh No! I'm gone!!"
Then he smiled and asked me to justify 'How?'
As usual I came up with a weird one..
I told him,"If a person is extremely emotional ("then he is an extremist" - told in my mind), then he might have bad times for certain limited time-period. But gradually will learn to control his senses as well as monitor to modify his actions & there comes the factor to acquire Emotional Intelligence(EI) naturally based on his past experiences."
"Students will be students!" ~ that's the first complimentary comment I received from him at first!
"Do you think that if I'm an extremely happy-go-lucky person, then also it can hold the same logic and reason behind it???" ~ he asked!
Gossshhhhhh!!!!!! I was totally drained and blank...
My conscious mind was telling me to 'Shut-up' but I still continued and argued ~"But Sir... Nothing is Permanent!" (and felt a little bit happy inside - that's probably what the student's psychology works like..)
The rest is not so much influential and somehow I concluded the fact that we should learn & practice to control our senses and emotions at our workplace..
Now what this short story implies to us???
- We hear and highlight those factors which we want to hear and spit-off, and not what is actually being said.
- Selective listening can drain you, resulting into the faulty communication.
- We always miss the sunny side of everything when we dig our past experiences.
MORAL:
Dust off your past mishaps and focus - at your present, with in your present. What is hunting inside you? Is that a fear? Fear is nothing but expecting a bad future! Dust it off. You're as stronger as you think you are. Do a positive set of mind-conditioning. Don't allow your past to drain your present self-worth.
