People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ.


Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down. A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ. Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma.


Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ. Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ):

The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.

When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider suicide. Parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics.


They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports and Arts. Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ and AQ.


They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.
