We humans tend to focus more on our IQ ignoring the rest of the Qs which I'll list out for those who may not be familiar with them.
The four Qs are;
IQ (intelligent quotient)
EQ (emotional quotient)
SQ (social quotient)
AQ(adversity quotient)
These Qs play a crucial role in humans and I'll say that people with high IQ and low SQ and EQ tend to not go so far in life as those with high SQ and EQ but average IQ.
Intelligent quotient is the measure of a person's level of comprehension or ability to understand numbers, memorize things and recall lessons.
Emotional quotient is also the measure of a person's ability to maintain time, be responsible, respect others boundaries, stay humble, genuine and possibly considerate.
Social quotient here is the ability to build a network of friends and keep the relationship over a very long period of time.
Most schools nowadays capitalize on improving a child's IQ level rather than their SQ, EQ or AQ level which is always played down. A child should be taught to improve on all Qs as the EQ helps them build character, SQ helps with their charisma.
The adversity quotient (AQ) which brought about my writing today is what I've been trying to improve on lately as stumbling blocks are inevitable in life race.
The AQ is the measure of one's ability to go through rough patches in life and come out of it without going bonkers. When faced with difficulties, the AQ determines who'll fall by the way side, who'll want to abandon their family or who'll prolly contemplate suicide. So you see the AQ is really important for every human that goes through phases in life.
We all know that life is full of surprises and each day we tend to come across difficulties which may last for a while in most cases but it's up to us to improve our AQ level so as to not lose our minds when things like this happen.
The four Qs are vital for every human and should be taught more to children who are still trying to understand what life is all about. It's good they have IQ to help them solve math, memorize things and so on but children too face difficulty. For instance, a child may have an average IQ and is unable to grasp things the way the ones with high IQ does and the teacher in school scolds them harshly, don't you think that child will feel bad about his or her existence? That's where the AQ(adversity quotient) comes in. When you teach them about improving their AQ, they will become multifaceted humans and somehow become independent of parents.
Don't just prepare the road for your children, also make them prepared for the road.
