Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Performance in an Individual

Over time scientists have begun to study why standard intelligence along isn’t enough to predict performance in an individual.  They have realized that there is another type of intelligence that isn’t related to the standard cognitive intelligence...it's called emotional intelligence. 

The study of emotional intelligence has its roots in the work of Darwin  who posited that emotional expression was essential for survival. About EI it could be said that it is the ability to be aware of your emotions and the emotions of others and then to use that knowledge to help manage the expression of emotions...so that they foster success instead of cause roadblocks. 

Those who have high levels of EI are able to understand the physical., mental, and social impact that negative emotions have on their bodies, minds, relationships  & ability to pursue & achieve goals. They then are able to moderate their own emotions so that their emotions support their activities & enhance their quality of life... 

People with high EI are proven to be more successful in the workplace because they can understand their emotions & why they behave the way that they behave. And they can use their EI to truly understand others & their points of view. 

Emotional Intelligence involves a combination of competencies which allow a person to be aware of, to understand & to be in control of their own emotions,  to recognize & understand the emotions of others & to use this knowledge to foster their success & success of others.....

To Say or Not to Say

My name is Raja Babu, from IIT Kanpur. Oops, I think most of you would be knowing me. I feel grateful for the love and support that I received because of my website. A sophomore from CSE IITK, Alok Gautam, contacted me to share my experiences, and I was thinking about what to share. So, I requested him to ask the questions which he wants to get addressed. It is 04:42 AM, and I am sitting on the study table with my love, i.e., my laptop, to give wing to my words. Alok: In short, how was your stay at IIT Kanpur? Raja: On 20 July, I joined the IIT Kanpur family; it was one of the best days of my life. The first week was enjoyable due to the orientation session, but after that, lows & highs became part of life.    Alok: What is your view about the mental health of the students? Raja: After clearing JEE, you joined IIT. You have excellent knowledge in the field of Engineering, but I request you to take care of your health. The environment was stressful & I had also suffered from D

Dynamics of Success

Dear readers, here are just a few suggestions. I may be wrong somewhere. 1. NEVER QUIT WHEN FACED WITH CHALLENGES. VK Bansal Sir( Bansal Classes, Kota), his determination, and dedication has organized an unknown industry to the tune of 5000 crores besides enlightening thousands of IITians 2. BELIEVING IN WHAT YOU THINK AND DO. ANNA and Kejarival, who have done what they believed to be right; hopefully, they will climb the ladders of success. Some of the greatest entrepreneurs ventured into unusual fields, where no one could have imagined or dared to venture. Shri Shri Ravishankar Ji - through the art of living, Baba Ram Dev - through his Yogashiksha and Patanjali Peeth, Shehnaj Hussain, Zaved Habib -revolutionary Herbal cosmetics champs.  3. ADAPTABILITY TO CIRCUMSTANCES. Sachin Tendulkar adopted with injuries, changing his style of play, but his versatility lies in the fact that he is the best player in all the game formats. 4. PASSIONATE ABOUT THE TASK IN HAND

How to use SSL-VPN at IIT Kanpur?

Image
IITK Computer Centre has installed a Secure Socket Layer VPN (SSL-VPN) server to allow access to IITK computing resources through the public telecommunication infrastructure and the Internet. SSL-VPN employs encryption and other strong security protocols and allows two computers to create a private, secure communications tunnel through the Internet. This ensures that only authorized users can access the IITK network and that their data cannot be intercepted. Using SSL VPN, remote users are connected to the IITK internal network as if they were directly connected to the campus network. This allows IITK remote users to access servers and other devices restricted to IITK network users and isolated from the outside. Step 1:  To Download the VPN Client, use the respective links. Windows:  https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/win/vpnagent MacOS:  https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/mac/vpnagent Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortinet.forticlient_vpn iOS :  h

Faith Recollection @ TheRkvvm

 18/01/2012 I don't quite remember my first day in Vidyamandir, but I know the difference between my level that day and today. For everything I have acquired in my life, for what I am, for where I am today, I owe a lot to vidyamandir. Good morning, everybody present here. On this auspicious day of the 30th foundation day of vidyamandir, I, Raja Babu, being the oldest student of this institute, present here to share my experience of 9 long years in short. When I walked into vidaymandir in 2003, I could barely frame a sentence. I remember my teachers and those in particular who supported me and always landed a helping hand. Leaving behind a couple of bad experiences, I got very helpful teachers who were a great mentor. I was a terrible student; the supports and encouragements I got were exhilarating. Unknowingly, I developed an interest in Science & Technology, and it's just amazing. It's been more than 8 years. I am studying here and have seen many changes in every field

IITian In Service Of The Nation

Image
  From maintaining the utilitarian website with lakhs views to becoming the National Social Service (NSS) & Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA), IIT Kanpur's Student Coordinator, my life has been full of ups and downs and never short of a roller coaster ride. I have been living in a hostel away from my family for the past 17 years, and as a consequence, I had a very unusual childhood. It is what made social service seem appealing to me in the first place. I was in class 3 when I was first admitted to a hostel. Soon after, I made an unsuccessful attempt at running away. When I was caught and brought back, I started submitting blank sheets in the exams and intentionally failed. My parents saw through my trick and asked me to repeat the same class until I passed. With no way of escape in sight, I started working on making my stay better. Ironically enough, studies quickly became my best companion. However, I had limited academic guidance, and when I looked around, I found plenty like me.

Mental Toughness For IIT-JEE

Image
1. I can not solve numerical problems because my concepts are not clear -> In fact, numerical solving itself is an exercise to learn concepts. 2. I can not study because I am in depression. I fell into it because I was not studying -> Start studying, and don't think about failures, as failure is an integral part of learning. If the feeling of depression persists, then consult a Psychiatrist.  3. I understand everything in class, but can not solve it on my own -> WRITING work is vital. It is a combination of multiple activities; the initial idea comes in mind, then we put into a language to express it. We focus on hand-eye coordination, and eyes create a visual impression on the brain. WRITING WORKS ARE EMBOSSED ON BRAIN LIKE CARVINGS OF AJANTA CAVES. 4. In exams, my brain goes blank, but I can crack them at home -> The home attempt is your second attempt, you are contemplating it while home back. You do not behave differently in the exam, replicating your
