The tendency nowadays to wander in wildernesses is delightful to see. Thousands

of tired, nerve-shaking, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to 【S1】__

mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and mountain parks and 【S2】__

reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, and as 【S3】__

fountains of life. Awakening from the stupefying effects of the vicious of over-industry【S4】__

and the deadly apathy of luxury, they are trying as best they can to mix and enrich their

own little ongoings with that of Nature, and to get rid of rust and disease. Briskly 【S5】__

venturing and roaming, some are washing off sins and cares of the devil's spinning in

storms on mountains; sauntering in pinewoods or in meadows, brushing through

chaparral, bending down and parting sweet, flowery sprays; tracing rivers back their 【S6】__

sources, getting in touch with the nerves of Mother Earth; jumping from rock to rock,

panting in whole-souled exercise, and rejoicing, in deep, long-drawn breathes of pure 【S7】__

wildness. This is fine and natural and full of promise. So also was the growing interest【S8】__

in the care and preservation of forests and wild places in general, and in the half wild

parks and gardens of towns. Even the scenery exists in its most artificial forms, mixed

with spectacles, silliness, and kodaks; its devotees arrayed gorgeously than scarlet 【S9】__

tanagers, frightening the wild game with red umbrellas—even this is encouraging, and

may well be regarded as a hopeful sign of times. 【S10】__

Want productivity and success in the business world？ Or

are you seeking to build your own financial freedom？

Recent studies prove that your emotional intelligence and

related confidence and self-esteem are more important brain

power than the IQ of your mind.

The concept of EQ (emotional intelligence) is having quite

an impact to the business and corporate world today. 【S1】__

Researchers report that those have strong emotional intelligence 【S2】__

(EQ) have more productivity, creativity, self-esteem and

self-confidence.., and making more effective business leaders. 【S3】__

Such leaders have more success rising "to the top" and "achieving

financial freedom" more than those with only a high IQ.

What is EQ？ Emotional intelligence (EQ) includes competency

in such traits as: optimism, effective productivity, self-es-teem,

motivating, empathy (移情作用) and personal interaction 【S4】__

skills.

Your EQ effects almost everything you do. Even while 【S5】__

working in a solitary setting---the quality of your work is determined

by your self-esteem and self-confidence (one aspect of EQ ).

But here's the good news: While the IQ of your mind is

relatively fixing, your emotional intelligence (EQ) can be built. 【S6】__

Many companies are bringing on psychologists and coaches to 【S7】__

improve their top executives' EQ.

A well developed EQ allows a leader to restrain more 【S8】.__

productive feelings (anger and self-doubt) and focus on goals with

more positive feelings (self-confidence, and open communication).

The result is higher team productivity! And in the case of

the independent entrepreneur, a higher probability of achieving

tree financial freedom.

Worldwide studies find those with high EQ tend to have

more success rising to the top of corporations. The higher people 【S9】__

moving up in a company, the more critical EQ becomes.

Women and men have equal EQ, but tend to be strong in 【S10】__

same areas. Women score high in empathy and social responsibility,

while men score high in stress tolerance and self-confidence.
