Keep Checking In on Your Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence can be strengthened over time with commitment and discipline. But those who most need to develop it often realize that too late. So here are some telltale signs that you need to work on your emotional intelligence:
You get impatient and frustrated when you think that others don’t get to the point soon enough.
You’re surprised when others are sensitive to your comments or jokes, and you think they’re overreacting.
You think being liked at work is overrated.
You weigh in early with your opinions and stand behind them no matter what.
You hold others to the same high expectations you hold for yourself.
You find others are to blame for most of the issues on your team.
You find it annoying when others expect you to know how they feel.

Mr. Shoaib Muhammad, former selector Pakistan’s World Cup team and son of legendary Mr. Hanif Muhammad, has this to say on Nasir Jamshed:

Nasir Jamshed

‘Most people would give Jamshed a zero but I give him two marks – one for being called up for a World Cup and one for failing in three matches.’

My comments:

All those who selected NJ, called him in place of M Hafeez, allowed him to go as a replacement and played him in 3 World Cup matches, where he scored 5 runs and dropped many catches, deserves to be lined up in front of the PCB head office and given 100 times public whipping, in late Gen. Zia ul Haq style.
