Is EQ More Important than IQ?

　　Nowadays, many people in the society hold the idea that 20% of one's success lies in his Intelligence Quotient, while 80﹪ in his Emotional Quotient.

　　People now are more and more aware of the importance of EQ.

　　In my opinion, I fully agree with that.

　　First of all, with a high EQ, one will get along well with his peers and companions, so they can conduct business or finish their work in a harmonious atmosphere and improve the working efficiency.

　　Furthermore, only with high EQ can one be self-restrained and bravely overcome the difficulties encountered in work and life.

　　In brief, a high EQ will make a person become more optimistic, confident and passionate in his work.

　　As the saying goes, one's character determines one's destiny, which stresses on the importance of EQ.

　　Therefore, while IQ indeed can't be ignored, EQ is more vital for one to be successful.
