The Art on Managing Oneself


Recently, I have attended an interesting session by Dr Ang Yong Guan on “Intelligence is more than just IQ- nurturing emotional intelligent children”.  I learnt the art on managing oneself in 4 simple points:

1. Self-Awareness
2. Self-Management
3. Social Awareness (Empathy)
4. Relationship Management (Social skills)

Just like Maslow Hierarchy of needs, first you need to have self- awareness before you can show empathy to others.

There is also an intriguing concept on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Harvard psychologist, Howard Gardner.


Howard suggested that we can have a range of abilities, someone strong in Visual-Spatial Intelligence and Logical-Mathematical Intelligence can be a good aircraft mechanic for example.

My self-inflection, to be successful you must exhibit the domains of emotional intelligence while using multiple intelligences as situation arise, my two cents.
