University students who are possessed of high emotional intelligence generally perform satisfyingly in both academic and social arenas. They study well and are highly enthusiastic about the social committees. Specifically, in the academic area, the obvious and strong evidences are high grades and good results. The university students with high emotional intelligence have agile minds and they know what is important and what is useful. They read a lot beyond the scope of course requirements and relate what they learn outside the class to the books. To them, learning knowledge is not a painstaking work; instead, it is a fun. In this way, the more they enjoy the study, the higher the performance they have. Emotional intelligence makes the students know that adapting to the university life is more important than getting a high score. In the social area, students with high emotional intelligence seem to be more passionate to about running for the leadership position of certain clubs than other students. They know how to communicate with different kinds of people and care about their friends. Most importantly, they will never give up even when they encounter failures, such as being rejected by the employers. Instead, they summarize the experiences and think about the next step. They see the opportunities in the scourge. In conclusion, high emotional intelligence benefits the university students in academic and social areas.

This is an inspiring post, Karen. I tend to think that what you state is true, too, but I have some questions. For instance, you write the following: "They read a lot beyond the scope of course requirements and relate what they learn outside the class to the books. To them, learning knowledge is not a painstaking work; instead, it is a fun." While I may agree with this, another person may want to see more evidence, or further explanation. How can we show the connection between a high EQ and a general thirst and appreciation for knowledge?

Thanks for this detailed paragraph.

For me, it is just some statements there. I am not convinced that high can help students do better in both academic and social lives. You should give specific evidence to support.
