Sure, It's great to have a high IQ but at the end, it all comes down to L.O.V.E.

I received an amazing article today from @sciencevienna with one of the most incredible compliments everrrrr! Thank You so so so much! Our new friendship means the world to me in so many ways. Thanks mostly to @steemit to meet so many unique humans.

I started to explore what he meant : "See Silvie, the world has so much more to learn from you."

I suggest you click the link and read it as well HERE because I don't feel to copy/paste it.

When dealing with human beings, we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.—Dale Carnegie

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE "What is it and why you need it?"

I didn't really understand much about this term, I never gave too much thought before. I was curious to find out more.

Emotional intelligence is measured by a person’s ability to identify and manage their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.

Decades of research point to emotional intelligence as the critical factor that sets star performers apart from the rest of the pack.

Emotional intelligence is the “Something” in each of us that is a bit intangible. It affects how we manage behavior, navigate social complexities and make personal decisions that achieve positive results. Emotional intelligence is made up of four core skills that pair up under two primary competencies: personal competence and social competence. - Source

It's not just a BUZZWORD!

Everything started when I had an interesting conversation with Alexander the other day, questioning my personal approach here on @steemit regarding my blog and what difference I actually make, publishing my kind of articles? I do not feel that I am an exceptional author nor do I find the proper vocabulary most of the time. I am not a professional photographer or tech savvy. I am even a lousy trader :) and have no idea to operate my apple pro as I should. I still don't understand how the voting and reward system works and don't really care.

I taught myself to become a digitalised being since my 40th birthday and sometimes wonder, how did I even get that far. I still don't know how to create a footer or write a text on images. How do I format my blog? I have no idea!

I am successful on steemit, I was told many times. I truly did well and can't complain, for sure I am not a "Star" but I try to shine, send my light and rays, I humbly catch at sunrises as well as sunsets.

Somehow, I realised through so many incredible comments on my posts that some of YOU feel me. Is this what Alexander tries to tell me? Oh yes, I have learnt so many lessons throughout my life and for sure I am true to myself, therefore I am true to You as well!

I adore honesty, integrity, loyalty and simplicity.

I do know and feel it deep in my heart that I have a message for humanity, men, women and children of our future. I share my soul on the blockchain through my experiences and that living our lives might not always turn out to be a pink cloud but as long as we are breathing, waking up every morning, we are alive to have another chance to make it better and better. It's all up to us if we choose hell or heaven on earth.

Trust me....I have been to hell more than once but I prefer to remember how joy and happiness felt in paradise and then I know that we have all reasons to be thankful for our challenges we face.

I have learnt to have faith in myself and the universe's vibrations to keep me strong in admitting my weaknesses. I made many mistakes and wish I could turn back time to correct and fix my wrong doings, change bad decisions, choosing the difficult path rather than the easy way.

I had and still have an amazing life! Soon I will turn 60 and I can say that my mirror is still not blurry. I smile right after shedding tears once in a while. I am proud of myself because I became my best friend I count on.

That's all I wanted to say today.....
