Researchers have studied people with strokes, brain tumors, and other types of brain damage, and have made some inter-esting discoveries about intelligence. It has been suggested

that when the parts of our brains that enable us to feel emo-tions are damaged, our intellects remain intact. We can still

talk, analyse, perform excellently on IQ tests, and even predict how we should act in social situations. However, under these tragic circumstances, we are unable to make decisions in the

real world—to interact successfully and appropriately with other people, to plan for the immediate or long-term future, to crea-

tively solve problems, and ultimately, to succeed. The difference between success and failure in life is less a

product of what happens to you than how you react to unex-pected, unpleasant, and threatening experiences. Those who

can deal with adversity survive. Emotional intelligence is not a safety net that protects you from life’s tragedies, frustrations, or disappointments. Emotionally intelligent individuals go

through bad times and experience sadness, anger, and fear—just like everyone else. Nevertheless, they respond differently

than less healthy people to these experiences. Emotional intel-ligence gives you the ability to cope and bounce back from stress, adversity, trauma, and loss. In other words, emotional

intelligence makes you resilient
