IQ is thought to contribute towards about 20% to the factors that determine life success. A significant portion of
the 80% will be decided by the Emotional Quotient.

Lets see the importance of this in an interesting story.

The Smart Dog
There was a very smart dog. One day, he got a little adventurous. So it went deep into the jungle, where a tiger
saw it. The tiger had never seen a creature like this before. He thought, “He looks like he’ll make a good
afternoon snack.” He growled and started coming towards
the dog. But this is a very smart dog. It wanted to run, but it knew if it ran, the tiger would catch up in no time. He
saw a heap of bones nearby and started strutting around
saying, “Oh my god! These tigers make a real good meal. Ha!”

The tiger hesitated and stepped back. “Oh, this is some kind of a creature that has tigers for a meal. And all these
heaps of bones.” He turned back and moved away.

A monkey sitting on a nearby tree saw this. He told the tiger, “He just fooled you. That’s just a dog. I’ve been into
the villages. He can do nothing to you. He doesn’t have the strength of even one of your paws.” The tiger felt
stupid. “What? He fooled me? Come, let’s catch him.”
So the monkey jumped
onto the tiger’s back
and they started
running towards the
dog.
The dog saw a monkey
riding a tiger and
coming towards it. It
knew what had
happened, but this is a
smart dog. He yawned
and said, “Where is
that monkey who I sent
to bring a Tiger? It’s
been almost an hour
since I sent him. Where
is he?”
The Tiger heard this.
He dropped the
monkey and ran away
as fast as he could.
We need to identify
our natural
competencies and
nurture them.
