1. What is emotional intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is how you are able to manage your emotions in certain situations.
2. How can you use your emotions as a compass to stay on course to a rich, fulfilling life?
You can use your emotions as a compass to stay on course by knowing exactly what you feel and by dealing with your emotions in the correct way.

When I first heard this in class It sounded like something new to me, but when I understood the concept I found out that I am good at reading myself and others.
Emotional intelligence is the ability, capacity and skill that one has to know what is exaclty going on with your feelings and emotions. Emotional Intelligence also understands and sees the emotions in someone else, even in a group of people in everyday life.
Knowing what you are feeling, your emotions can be really helpful in life. Because you know how to react to certain feelings and you can learn how to control them. It is something that you learn as you are growing up.
Whenever you are feeling a certain way, and you know what is exaclty wrong. Having the ability to change that can become really usefull in life, staying on course and not letting any of your emotions get in the way of something going on in your life.

1. What is emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is knowing from what source your feelings are coming from as well it means being in tune with your surrounding well enough to catch when someone drops you a hint that they are angry or upset, but it can also mean knowing how to react to someone or something and do in a manner that is respectful to both parties and builds rather than destroys.
2. How can you use your emotions as a compass to stay on course to a rich, fulfilling life? By knowing how and when as well as how strong to react to anything you can guide yourself through the emotional mind field that is set up by other people around you as well as yourself, which in turn helps to keep you on the right path because if you are on the right course then you won’t hit any explosions, maybe the occasional bump in the road but those can be recovered from relatively easily, however sometimes what someone needs in their life is a metaphorical explosion to make them wake up and realize that in order to survive and have a good life they need to make serious changes in their life.

Emotional intelligence is being aware of your emotions. You have to know how to control them. If you feel you are about to freak out on someone or about something, an emotionally aware person can calm themselves down and go back to normal. You have to be able to accept that you are responsible for your actions and not getting all riled up and blaming others. self awareness is a big must.
Your emotions tell you everything about how a person is. If they are angry all the time, then its easy to conclude that there may be a problem they need to deal with. choosing how to handle your emotions and when you use certain ones can guide you. If you can become emotionally intelligent, and have the ability to control your emotions and stay on course, you can ultimately live a more fun filled and exciting super duper life!!!!

1.Emotional intelligence is when your aware of your emotions and are able to handle things with a clear head and not let emotions get involved.
2. If you stay intact with your emotions, than you will know when something is wrong, or if you are stressed out you will know how to cope with it. Therefore, you will know how to cope with your life.

1. Emotional Intelligence is by my definition, how well you can manage, control, and manipulate your emotions to your own benefit. What I mean by this is that first off, if you can't manage them, then your unstable! You need to be able to control them and what I mean by manipulate them is to use them for your benefit! Say you feel sad about a break up or a failed test? Next hockey game you go to, use that negative energy to wreck someone or shoot a puck real hard!
2. Obviously not letting your emotions get the best of you. Being able to control your emotions instead of your emotions controlling you. If you let them control you, then your actions are blind and you end up making an ass of yourself.

Emotional intelligence is when you can control your emotions in certain times in your life. This term speeks for itself, emotional feelings in certain times is not the best thing to show. It is about using you emotions as a compass to stay on task and on the course that you feel is right. You really need to make your decisions by how you feel and what you feel is right. You use this compass by knowing what you really want and you know it is right. That is how i would use my compass
To be emotionally intelligent, you gotta have a grip on controlling your emotions, realizing what they are and their significance, while also being able to help others become more emotionally intelligent by them looking to you for inspiration. An emotionally intelligent person would never make rash decisions when their negative emotions are hightened. I personally need to learn this lesson.
I can use my emotions to lead me towards the right decisions, particularly those that would lead me "north", forward on to positive outcomes. While at times I will stray but that doesn't mean that I can't find the right way again.
1. Emotional intelligence is being able to keep emotions undercontrol while making decisions. It's also the ability to recognize emotions in realtionships with others.
2. I can use my emotions as a compass to point me in the right direction by listening and understand my emotions. If I understand how im feeling and why im feeling that way then i might be able to make a better decision. I get the basics, if what im doing makes me unhappy then that's obviously not the direction i should be going. And vice versa. It's simple when you put into words but when converting to action, things get a bit sticky.
Great comments this week! Your compasses seem to be pointed in the right direction! Only one more week to go ~ Keep up the good work!
