智商/情緒智商

IQ or EQ: Which One Is More Important?   By Kendra Cherry

In his 1996 book Emotional Intelligence, author Daniel Goleman suggested that EQ (or emotional intelligence quotient) might actually be more important than IQ. Why? Some psychologists believe that standard measures of intelligence (i.e. IQ scores) are too narrow and do not encompass the full range of human intelligence. Instead, they suggest, the ability to understand and express emotions can play an equal if not even more important role in how people fare in life.

Which One Is More Important?

At one point in time, IQ was viewed as the primary determinant of success. People with high IQs were assumed to be destined for a life of accomplishment and achievement and researchers debated whether intelligence was the product of genes or the environment (the old nature versus nurture debate). However, some critics began to realize that not only was high intelligence no guarantee for success in life, it was also perhaps too narrow a concept to fully encompass the wide range of human abilities and knowledge.

IQ is still recognized as an important element of success, particularly when it comes to academic achievement. People with high IQs typically to do well in school, often earn more money, and tend to be healthier in general. But today experts recognize it is not the only determinate of life success. Instead, it is part of a complex array of influences that includes emotional intelligence among other things.

The concept of emotional intelligence has had a strong impact in a number of areas, including the business world. Many companies now mandate emotional intelligence training and utilize EQ tests as part of the hiring process. Research has found that individuals with strong leadership potential also tend to be more emotionally intelligent, suggesting that a high EQ is an important quality for business leaders and managers to have.

So you might be wondering, if emotional intelligence is so important, can it be taught or strengthened? According to one meta-analysis that looked at the results of social and emotional learning programs, the answer to that question is an unequivocal yes. The study found that approximately 50 percent of kids enrolled in SEL programs had better achievement scores and almost 40 percent showed improved grade-point-averages. These programs were also linked to lowered suspension rates, increased school attendance, and reduced disciplinary problems.

過年習俗與禁忌 (www.stargogo.com)

過年期間，也就是大年初五以前忌倒污水、灑水、掃地、倒垃圾或將水往外潑，傳統認為每戶家中都家中都藏有福氣財運，灑水、掃地與倒垃圾會將財神爺趕跑與掃走財富與好運，另外，垃圾也不能丟掉，必需等到初五隔開日才可進行一次的清掃，掃地時要注意要從外往裡面掃，象徵將金銀財寶掃進來。

過年期間忌將衣服曝曬於戶外。

忌殺生、忌打罵小孩、忌生氣罵人與人爭執、忌向人討債，新的一年有好的開始才會旺一整年。

儘量不要打針、開刀、看病，以祈求新的一年身體健康。

吃長年菜不可切斷，才可長命百歲。

忌說不吉利的話語，會讓今年一整年不吉利。

忌動刀剪針線，所以過年期間所需烹調的食材宜年三十就切好準備妥當。

忌跟還未起床的人拜年，會讓對方一整年都疾病纏身。

嫁出的女兒宜初二、三回娘家，不可於大年初一、四、五這幾天回娘家，會導致娘家家運衰敗。

大年初一到初五忌吃魚頭、魚尾，魚為年菜必備菜餚，留下魚頭魚尾不吃象徵「有餘」，來年慶有餘。

大年初一到初五忌被他人自口袋掏取物件。

大年初五，傳統習俗上初一到初四，垃圾為「財氣」，但到初五隔開日以後，垃圾反為「窮氣」，因此初五要將過年期間所有的垃圾清倒乾淨，謂之送窮出門，可帶來好運與財運。

忌用白色物品，例如年糕用的糖不用白糖而用紅糖。

忌煎粿，萬一不小心將年粿煎焦掉，焦台語與「赤」同音，不祥由赤貧之意。
