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.
