FOUR STEPS TOWARD EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. Acknowledge Some one : An acknowledgement is a simple statement of another's value. It's a small act that can contribute enormously to the well-being of another and will also make you feel good at the same time.You can acknowledge the most significant person in your life, or you can acknowledge a stranger, or both.

It was a Sunday night in front of our apartment in Jackson Heights. Queens, New York I was about eight years old and my father took off the training wheels and began to run alongside the bike, helping to balance it from behind as pedaled with some uncertainty and wobbliness, slowly picking up speed, until he was finally able to let go as I shrieked, "I can do it!"
