Emotional Intelligence

When we are determined to get more wealth, we should condition ourselves. This is obviously stressed by kiyosaki in his excellent book Cash quadrants. The real capitalists are not carried away by emotions. They will have emotional intellegenc as well as financial intellegence. When they take decisions for investment, they take risks. When they loose they do not get upset but learn some lessions from that failure. Similarly when they gain profit , then too they will not be jumping but would be very calm as if it is part of the game. This is an important quality to achieve anything as per robert kiyosaki. The same was also stressed by the author of millionaire's mind. He says that you can not become rich through your efforts if the same are driven by anger, revenge or sorrow. You should be poise while playing the game. In philosophy too, Lord krishna, the ultimate master of philosophy stresses that you should be calm in gain and profit. "Samam kritwa labha nasthau..." he says which means, take equally the loss and gain, the pain and joy. The person who takes all the duals as equal is called "muni" or "sthita prajna" which means the person with wisdom. So, it can be infered that either to achieve some thing in this materialistic world or in spiritual world, one should become equanimous and then attempt. The decisions should be made with logic but not with sentiment. Most of the times, sentiment plays greater role and it dominates 80 percent of our decisions. In such cases , it is difficult to grow rich. Robin sharma says, emotions lead to actions where as logic leads to conclusions. When we want to do some thing, emotion is definitely required , but we should be watchful. one important lesson what robert kiyosaki gives is, to achieve a goal we should follow the priniciple of BE, DO, HAVE. That means, if you set any goal, first you should become that person mentally. You should change your thinking, habits into that role. Then do your action plan. As a result, you will have the result. This is true for any goal like becoming physically fit, earning wealth or becoming a spiritual master.
