IQ

Jerry: I really admire you, Diana.

Diana: why, Jerry? Your words just came out of the blue.

J: you are really happy and able to achieve high scores at school.

D: I work very hard and that's it, you know, practice makes perfect.

J: isn't there anything else?

D: I have no idea.

J: you must have a high IQ score.

D: well, Jerry, let me tell you a secret.

J: go ahead.

D: my IQ score is slightly above average.

J: seriously? But you are such a genius.

D: maybe I've got a higher EQ. I'm not sure.

J: well, perhaps you're right. Sometimes EQ matters more than IQ.

D: you can say that again, Jerry. And I'm sure you're high in both of them. With a little more time cracking the books, you can also get high marks.

J: oh, thank you. I'm going to the library, are you coming?

D: let's go!

EQ

J: Diana, in your opinion, which is more important, IQ or EQ?

D: why are you asking me the strange question, Jerry?

J: I watched the movie Forrest Gump last night. And the question just lingered in my mind.

D: well, I think IQ matters more. But it won't work without EQ.

J: why? You seem pretty sure about it.

D: because an intelletual mind can only be a beneficial thing in life.

J: but IQ is decided at birth. One can't expect to make a lot of improvement in it.

D: that's why people's achievement varies greatly.

J: that's sure, but what if one comes across some difficulities? He must rely on his EQ to deal with them.

D: yes, jerry, can you share your understanding of EQ?

J: I think it is independent of IQ and plays a prominent role in deciding the way we lead our lives.

D: quite right. Have you noticed that a high IQ is not a must for one's success?

J: just as Forrest?

D: yes, his IQ is high enough for him to embrace the success as long as he can manage his EQ.

J: I got it.

智商

戴安娜,我真的很羡慕你.
为什么啊,杰瑞?你这话让我摸不着头脑.
你总是很开心,成绩也一直很好.
那是因为我很努力,没有别的.你也知道,熟能生巧嘛.
没别的了?
是啊,我不知道还有什么.
你的智商一定很高吧?
哦,杰瑞,告诉你一个秘密吧.
好啊.
我的智商是中等偏上水平.
真的吗?你可是个天才啊!
或许我的情商比较高吧,我不太确定.
应该没错,有时候情商要比智商重要.
对!杰瑞,你的智商和情商也很高啊,只要多加努力,你也能取得好成绩的.
好的,谢谢.我正要去图书馆呢,要不一起去吧?
好的,走吧.

情商

戴安娜,你觉得智商和情商哪个更重要呢?
杰瑞,你为什么问这个奇怪的问题呢?
昨天晚上我看了电影阿甘正传,这个问题就一直在我的脑海里萦绕.
哦,我觉得智商更重要些,但是一个人也离不开情商.
为什么?你看起来很确定.
因为一个人的聪明才智才会令他终生受用.
但是人的智商是生来就决定好的,不会有太大长进.
所以人们会有成败之分啊.
有道理,可是如果一个人遇到困难怎们办?他只能用情商来解决问题.
是啊,杰瑞,你能说说你对情商的看法吗?
我觉得情商和智商是两码事,分别决定着我们的生活方式.
是这样的.你有没有注意到一个人若想获得成功,并不一定要有高智商吗?
就像阿甘一样吗?
对啊,只要他能够很好地应用自己的情商,他的智商已经足以让他成功了.
我明白了.
