Of hundreds of books I read, Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence is on the top list for good reasons. I have even recommended this book to one of my friends 4-year ago, and today I have had the formal training on ways to build one's emotional state. This is a good start for me as a teacher and a parent. Thank you The Royal Academy for the vision.
Initially we were given a task to define emotion. It wasn’t easy and neither was it difficult. It took a good amount of time to reflect self and beyond. However, as we were given a few more slides to think about, I came to know that I was aware and already had some qualities of an emotionally developed person. Deep inside I had a strong sense of satisfaction and happiness, and silently thanked Mr. Goleman for writing such a good book. Perhaps, I was happy that the other slides gave an idea of the quality I would like to develop to become a sincere, mindful, astute, resilient and mindful human being. If everything goes as planned, there is nothing I can look back in regret about myself.
Through the presentation and sharing of ideas, I got a sense of satisfaction from Mr. Goleman who has beautifully shared his ideas in his book about the emotional intelligence as a tool to overcome any kinds of situations -big or small.
I am eagerly waiting to take my goal and action plan into the classroom to see how best it can work for my students and me. I like to get into the serious business of building my emotional state vibrant and lively to be able to control the environment I live in.
I am equally thrilled to push my leadership of the self-build on trust in action. However, I am also anticipating to forgive and put few of my students to compassionate circle –because of the fact that –I feel for them, they are same like me, they have soul same like me, they have same feeling like me, with the believe that everyone commit mistake has some family issues, difficult times and financial crisis to name a few. I believe that all these little issues make everyone stressful, or simply hijack one’s emotional state, thus making one a victim, or a loser.
The rest is in the might of one to realize, whether to forgive the other soul same as anyone. However, in order to unite everyone as one nation, the best place to start this practice (emotional area of development) is at school.
