Everything in our world is fueled by competition. The quickest way to measure individuals against each other is with standardized testing. These are good for judging raw intelligence and IQ, but we are learning there is more to success than just this. Researchers such as David Goleman are opening people's eyes to a whole new aspect of the brain, the Emotional Intelligence. The emotional intelligence refers to our social intelligence. This is our ability to handle ourselves, relate to others, strive for success, and stay motivated. In fact, a study done by MIT found that their most prosperous alumni were not the students who attended with top grades, but those who participated in other aspects of the school environment such as clubs and teams, therefore exhibiting emotional intelligence. In essence, as long as some one has the determination and drive within, the sky is the limit.
