You startled me
In not so much your words,
But your approach.
It was fast
And filled my head
With nonsense words
And warmth
When you weren’t there.
So, I went under
And swallowed
The surge. And above
My head is swirling water.
My hand slapping at the surface,
Desperate for structure
Steep stone. Then
My fingers finding rooted edge
Holding ground,
Finally. Almost out of breath
When I pulled myself up.
Entwined in mine, fingers
Not rooted mass, but flesh.
That took the shape
Of mysteries ability
To suddenly deliver me
Upon the edge was all
That I was meant to be.

it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Hey EP! How are you? How's everyone doing today/tonight?
A Rose for Emily...
Ergo is there a deductable on "leaky whang" coverage?
My I would hope you'd cover a leaky whang.
Emily!!!!!
hello!!!!
I'm good how are you?
just tried cocoa puff s and apple jacks and have to say your sweet is different to our sweet too
hubby agrees, can't explain it but it is somehow
anon, lol.
Hey there emily, good to see you
apple jacks are nicest so far
Hi Emily long time no see. How are you?
hello emily. :)
i understand it ergo -- there were things that tasted a bit different from their american counterparts when i was in england, too.
I'm good. Just finished doing my daily exercises. I say daily, but its really like once a week. LOL!
Anywho, what is going on with the leak EP! Your not having another down pour are you?
A Rose for Emily...
Hey Elena,
Yeah, I know its been a while, but I've just gotten so addicted to twitter. Its like a disease, but I do miss talking to all of you. And its great being able to write more than a few sentences at a time.
A Rose for Emily...
bc, what's gotten into you? (don't take that literally)
Hahaha. The parts down there make me snicker and giggly like a schoolgirl, what can I say? I may seem like the 'nice' girl type on the outside, but I can be a bit naughty on the inside. The nice girl type is just a front for me.
Hello toujours. How's it going?
A Rose for Emily...
no it's actually sunny here and getting cooler now we are heading into autumn
you'll have to read back for the 'leak" 'twas allll BC's fault!
going pretty good, though that might just be the whiskey and coke. ;)
it's been nice to see you here again. hope things are well?
TJ the sweet is kind of warmer (?) or thicker (?) somehow, I think it's corn syrup, we don't have it used over here at all but it is in a lot of your stuff
our sweet is more clean (?) like just white sugar
Was it BC? You rascal. I kid, I kid.
Hi BC, and how are you doing?
Wow, I can't believe seasons are changing so rapidly EP. Your entering autumn and we've just started spring.
A Rose for Emily...
i think you're right ergo -- the corn syrup is used in everything here in the states -- i even found it listed in the ingredient list on a pack of saltines! (that's just surreal). it's cheaper and easier to produce, i guess.
all i know is that some of my favorite chocolate candy bars are from the uk! mmmmmm, curlywurlys...
Things are warming up. We're in spring in my neck of the woods. Weather is a lot nicer compared to the horrible snow storms we've had lately. I can't wait for summer though. My skin could use a nice tan.
A Rose for Emily...
it's spring here, too, emily. and as much as i love winter, i have to admit that there's a definite rush when spring hits. "spring fever" indeed. :)
Am I the only one who thinks of Willy Wonka when they hear the words chocolate candy bars.
A Rose for Emily...
I hope you ahve a nice spring then Emily, does summer get really hot by you?
cheeky cheeky bc :)
naughty is nice, as long as you don't hurt someone in the process.
nope emily
TJ we have Curly Wurlys here too, love em
though I don't eat a lot of chocolate
Oh really whoops! Are you east or west coast toujours?
Oh, and I know what you mean about spring fever. The merchandise for easter is crazy. I wanted to buy a few easter baskets for my nieces and the prices are jacked up its insane. You would think that in this recession they would lower those prices, but no.
A Rose for Emily...
only if it's the johnny depp willy wonka, emily. ;)
you know, the funny thing is ergo that i don't get into chocolate that much anymore...candy that is. you can always bribe me with baked goods. *heh*
i used to be west coast, emily, but i moved recently and now i'm somwhere in the middle. lol
i don't do much for easter, it's not one of my holidays, but i know what you mean about all the marketing. there are so many things in the stores. it was just jelly beans and looking for eggs when i was a kid.
I'll admit that the summer can be a bit sticky and nasty during the daytime. But the nights are usually nice and cool. And summer will always have a special place in my heart cause I celebrate my birthday in the summer. I know its silly to think that way, but I guess I'm still a kid at heart.
A Rose for Emily...
not silly at all! i'm a may baby myself, and i always think it's the best month. *heh* not egotistical, not at all...
:)
oh birthdays are always special
I have mine in the winter, which seeing as how hot our summers can be is nicer
I liked the new version of the Willy Wonka movie with Johnny Depp, but when I think of Willy Wonka and chocolate bars I think of the original movie with Gene Wilder (if I'm not mistake, I thinks thats his name), but I guess I'm just an old foggy.
A Rose for Emily...
Yup, I'm a summer baby. Which is strange cause EP has the same birthday as me and she's a winter baby.
A Rose for Emily...
the gene wilder version always creeped me out. eek.
we have a spring, a summer, and a winter, we just need an autumn birthday to make the collection complete. *hee*
I loved Gene Wilder, I'm glad the movies were so different so you didn't have to compare them both, Johnny was great but much darker, though Gene had his moments too. I have both on DVD
we are seasonal opposites Emily!
:]
really, ergo? both, huh? i'm usually pretty cautious about buying movies, i want to know i'll be watching them over and over, so the willy wonka movies wouldn't be likely to be in my library. lol
i have things like "the last samurai", "galaxy quest", various anime, etc.
nerd girl, i guess.
:)
The original was creepy but there's still something about it that I like. Maybe I'm a little creepy, I don't know. Ha, ha...
A Rose for Emily...
oh! and "a walk in the clouds" which is like my guilty pleasure, because i guess it didn't do well? but it's so lovely, such a throwback in style.
I have galaxy quest, but on VHS. I'm old school. LOL!
A Rose for Emily...
what's great about the dvd is that you have the option of watching the entire movie in the alien language. lol
that's so crazy, i love it. :)
I think all the 80's movies are a guilty pleasure for me. Sad but true...
A Rose for Emily...
what's the last 80's movie that you saw?
Get out of town, really the DVD has that feature. Man, I got that movie from blockbuster when it first came out and I figured I already own, so why get it on DVD, but now I'm curious to see it in alien speech.
A Rose for Emily...
it really does! i can only watch it for a little while though...it hurts after awhile. lol
oh I loved Galaxy Quest!!
TJ we have watched both Willy Wonkas over and over, my daughter loves them
most of our movies are watched a lot, I got a great boxed set with Metropolis and Plan 9 and stuff in it great movies
I never get to the movies so paying what tickets would have cost or less suits me
(plus Emily I may have had a little crush on gene Wilder lol)
we are off to have a dip in the creek, well I'm not going in this time, but will sit with my feet in and have a beer
take care all
bye BC elena TJ Emily
hope to have a chat here again soon, though can always get you on twitter!! :]
bye!!
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! With Sarah Jessica Parker and her big 80's hair. But to be honest, I really love that movie cause of the hot guy who plays her love interest. I forget his name, but I just remember seeing him as a kid and thinking he was so gorgeous and when I see the movie now, I still think he's pretty hot. Lame, I know but what can I say.
A Rose for Emily...
cheeky cheeky bc :)
naughty is nice, as long as you don't hurt someone in the process.
I agree ^_~
Hiya emily. I'm doing okay, a bit bored, but okay, thanks.
Girls just want to have fun, oh wow. I really like that movie, son much I hae it on dvd. I like watching cheesy 80's flicks :)
See ya ergo!
Oh EP! You had a crush on Gene Wilder, really?
You leaving already. :(
Oh well, I guess I'll try to catch around tomorrow.
A Rose for Emily
Hey BC. Yeah, that movie is a guilty pleasure for me. That and Say Anything. It just always gets me in the end. I'm a sap for romantic comedies.
A Rose for Emily...
bye, ergo! have fun! i promise not to make fun of you for your crush on gene wilder! lol
emily, i always liked the movie "valley girl"...maybe cuz i was one, at one point. like, fer shurr. :)
Oh My God! Me too! Like, Gag me with a spoon!!!
Hee, hee, I love that movie too! And don't judge me but I still think Nicolas Cage looked pretty good in that movie. I can't say that about him now, but in that movie and in Moonstruck he sure had it going on.
A Rose for Emily...
i loved "moonstruck"! i think lately he's become too nicholascage but i did like him alot in his early movies.
did you have the leg warmers and the miniskirt? i drank tab like there was no tomorrow, like, totally.
Yeah, I rocked the leg warmers, the head bands, neon clothing and the big hairspray mullet hair don't.
Ah, the 80's and now it ironic cause its apparently making a comeback. Now everything is 80's chic according to the fashion magazines and trendy shops like forever 21.
A Rose for Emily...
oh i know, i saw some chickie wearing neon and a headband at bamboozle left last year and just goggled. i didn't think those things would ever make a comeback. lol
emily, it's been great talking with you (always fun to meet another ex-valley girl!), but i think i need to be getting a wee bit of sleep.
take care and sweet dreams!
I guess I'm going to turn in too. Goodnight Toujours. Hope to chat with you soon. Goodnight Elena and BC and to whomever is still logged on. Until next time.
A Rose for Emily...
Goodnight tj, emily sweet dreams
Well crap I got called away and now everyone is gone.
Night Emily, TJ and BC
mayo,
it's funny that nostalgia hit here on the blog tonight because i have been having repeated little flashbacks recently -- maybe it's something in the air?
but a movie showing a scene that takes place in early morning reminds me of what it was like to be the first one up at a s.c.a. encampment, and a single song is an entire time travel machine ("astro zombies" transports me to bamboozle left and that school room i slept in last year, in an instant).
i don't think it's the season -- autumn is usually when i feel the nostalgia bug -- but maybe it's because i'm inbetween. i want more adventures in my future, but at the moment it's just day-to-day. i don't want last year's trip to be just a single experience, though, that stupid "something special to remember" business. i want it to be something i do often.
but not right now, huh.
though i'm trying to set something up for my birthday this year. it's on memorial weekend, so that's promising, isn't it?
i guess right now is just doing the grunt work for whatever is next, and remembering the past. (that sounds so pathetic though, doesn't it? yeesh.)
things aren't bad right now, though, mayo. there's this one co-worker who is fast becoming a good friend, maybe one who will be a friend for a long while. she's just so much fun -- she always makes me laugh, sometimes just with a look. and she's so flirty -- i never know if she's just joking around or if her outrageous compliments are sincere. she's got me all confused and i kinda like it. *heh*
but i still wish i was standing in front of a stage again. nothing's so real as having that music vibrating in my bones.
i always want to be going forward, i don't want you to think i've failed or fallen in my goals, so this nostalgia thing feels like a weakness, to be indulging in the past. it's so strong though. hits me without warning -- the soap at work, for instance, somehow reminds me of being on the road last year, though i can't see how. and listening to modest mouse reminds me of that first winter on the blog, sitting on the couch every night talking to your portrait.
forward, must go forward.
but that doesn't mean letting go of the past, does it?
too much to think about, especially on this weekend of supreme laziness. i slept for ten hours last night, waking up with a massive headache from the overindulgence. watched movies all day, my only real accomplishment repainting my nails (changing from electric blue to a deep almost-black purple, if you care to know). tomorrow will be more of the same, if i'm lucky.
and it's probably all nothing to worry about, anyway. everything works out, i believe that.
so, to bed. mayo, i used to really worry about you, your posts here gave me such qualms, but not anymore -- maybe it's just that i have more faith in your inner strength after so many months of reading your words? you're just so much a part of my life now, for good or for ill, and you've stuck it out with us this long that things don't have such a dire cast anymore. but i always wish you well you know, even if i'm not actively mother-henning you in my thoughts. *grin*
good night, my most imaginary friend. have a good day tomorrow, yes? knowing you're smiling makes me feel better.
elena, please write me an email when you have time, ok? i miss you.
Mayo
Well I know my chatting earlier today while I was at work was pretty damn boring. Sorry about that but I really couldn’t think of anything interesting to say. Anyway after work I had to pick up Mom and take her to the store. Now I have to admit I was sorta dreading this. See Mom hadn’t seen my new addition to my original tattoo. The way it was you couldn’t really see it all that much cause I usually wear longer sleeves but the new part goes down part of my thumb so no hiding it. Not that I want to hide it mind you. I love it but I just kinda knew Mom was not gonna share the love. So like I thought she spotted it as soon as we were in the car driving. I didn’t expect the outbreak of Hail Mary’s that erupted. But I tried to take it in stride. However when she suddenly said, “Just how is that gonna look when your in the coffin with a rosary wrapped around your hands?” Holy shit, I almost went off the road. That was harsh. Seriously I got a vision of me in a coffin. I nicely reminded her that there would be no open coffin for me so it didn’t matter. Because really if I have an open coffin I’m gonna find a way to come back and haunt. She just sighed and stared out the windshield. Yep the silent treatment. So I sat there wondering why someone my age could still let their mother affect them so much. I mean come on..I like it, it’s my body and is it hurting anyone? Oh well what can I say? Anyway so then I started thinking about Stormy and her desire to get a tattoo. Now to be honest (since she’s not around) I really wouldn’t mind her getting the one she wanted. It’s very small and she wanted it in a place where it wouldn’t show. However her father put his foot down and forbid it. By the way she’s still kinda ticked at you cause she was really thinking you’d back her up. LOL Sorry to make you take the heat on that one but I couldn’t resist. I guess my whole point is that I realized I don’t want to be like my mom on this subject. I’m all for people being individuals and having the freedom to express their individuality. But at the same time I don’t want to override her dad’s authority. He really doesn’t get involved all that much about things like this. Crap I don’t know.
So how was your day? Bet no one made you visualize yourself in a coffin. I hope it was good. I hope you’re in a good place about things. I do miss you. Well take care.
Night Mayo
Elena (seriously that was harsh)

hello Ergo, lol I well I hope you haven't been seeing it in black because it you have, it's definitely not me. This is the first time I've checked this place out since the last time I wrote anything down here! I just happened to take to SDock yesterday and remembered this place was still around ;)
oops, I mean Elena!
Hey Anon616, I'm glad I catched your comment here. I was just checking quickly to see if anyone happened to catch my message.
I'm doing well, but I'm extremely busy with work and school these days. I hardly have time to do much of anything else!
I hope you are doing well! I probably won't be back gere again for another few months when I get reminded of this place again, or you never know, I may pop by when I'm procrastinating and not wanting to do any school work!

I must say I think this blog has been so much nicer in recent days. No Porchies, no poems quotes or annoying attention getting behaviour. And I'm happy to see OPJ back. OPJ I do believe that SS was here leaving messages to you the other day.
What messages? Where? I didn't see any and he hasn't updated his profile page so I don't think he's even been around.
hi MP!
good to see you again
I am full of chicken korma and naan

He has been here, he left a message of sympathy for PH a few days ago.
Hands out special 3D SS message decoder glasses to other anons in an attempt to prevent secret message dispute.
The secret language of SS is so difficult to interpret that only highly skilled professionals can recognize it. Glasses ain't gonna help.
Damn.
You mean i have to go back to college and study those dead sea scrolls again. I knew his secret language was hidden in those things.
tosses special 3D SS message decoder glasses in the trash

goodnight Mayo, SS

Thanks EP! I'll be seeing and interpreting that secret language of SS in no time.
morning mayo!
how are you? good i hope!
SS you too?! if you have been around i have missed you, but i hope you are fine and dandy and all that!
hi everyone!
nice to see you around magic pie!
it's Mother's Day in the UK, so that's nice. i've already spent the best part of an hour tidying up my toy infested house! horrendous! my sitting room isn't a sitting room, it's a childrens play zone! i would say roll on to the time where all the plastic tat has gone, but then they would be older and i'm not ready for it to go yet!
right just an in and out from me!
have lovely Sundays everyone!
i'm pretty sure everyone else, except the UK and Europe, mother's day falls in May?? i think i'm correct!
Ok take care all!
♥
p.s my 3 year old boy just came in from playing outside saying "I'm going to work!" i looked up and he is carrying a lovely pink handbag containing his bottle of water, a pink Barbie brush, a pink Barbie plate, and his sister's pretend pink phone! shit he is so gonna be in touch with his feminine side when he's older! bless him!
nothing secret about it, those of us who know his voice always recognize it.

SS is just so special.
Not as special as you snookums.
A very nice F*** U to you too.
Happy Mother's Day FASC
I see you've been spending it in true mom fashion - cleaning house. LOL
Take care it was great to see you. I've missed ya.
nope, still sad in here and the intelligence quotient seems to have fallen several points. Ah, well.
ah well, sorry you feel that way anon.
No actually I'm not sorry at all. You are rude.
Ah well, anon, I'm sorry that you can't see that only conversations of quantum physics or other such lofty subjects do not directly relate to intelligence. It is also measured by ability to learn, social interaction skills, wit, and adaptation to situations. I believe somewhere in the list there is also the ability to understand word play, and possibly the ability to be use such word play to have a few silly moments away from the real world.
On another note, magic pie, it's good to see you here.
Thank you 12:25
Nicely said.
yeah, whang talk is the epitome.

Just a question. You didn't call that anon rude. Why not?
Ah, well
People generally come here to chat with friends and the conversation can be about happy, serious, tragic and, yes, sometimes silly things which comes as a little light relief after some difficult times.
Anyone can come here and raise a topic they wish to discuss/seek advice on. Rather than waiting for others to talk about subjects that interests you why not raise a topic yourself? I'm certain people will do what they can to contribute...
1:58, I cannot speak for her but my guess is that because she was far too busy having a good chat with her friends last night. Today? It is quiet.
How is everyones day today?
Halllooooooo....
Is anyone home?
*runs a finger along the dusty hallway table*
Anyone can come here and raise a topic they wish to discuss/seek advice on.
Unless you are Kapu. Kapu is not allowed to seek advice if one of her friends was assaulted or potentially suicidal. And heaven help her if she posts poetry.
Elena
Just a question. You didn't call that anon rude. Why not?
Actually it's half time right now (KU is playing) but I will answer since is seems important to you anon. Yes, that comment from last night was very rude also. However my belief is it was made to start shit and so I ignored it. Just as I should have ignored the one earlier. My bad.
Have a nice day. KU is in the lead at the moment if you're interested.

shouldn't you be in your laboratory finding a cure for aids or cancer.
or making a man from scratch.
MAYO! GUESS WHAT?
I got a PSP! I'm so fangirlishly happy that it's damn near irrational. I got Final Fantasy Tactics also, just, you know, as a starter game. A gateway game. :D
Crisis Core is the real reason I got the PSP but I'm going to get that next month and play it on the airplane. Long flight, you know?
And guess what else? Mummy K bought a Wii for her and Daddy K! How awesome is that? I guess I'll go on over later and help them hook it up if they want. I so want Mummy K to kill some zombies one of these days. ;D
Granny K was up and about today, walking around the store which is so good for her. She looks so much better this week than she did last week. :)
Well, I hope that you are having a great day!
S(S)S, so, do you have the Wii? or a PSP or even...
...a PS3?
If you have a PS3 you'd better lock it up; I might steal it from you. ^_~
Have a great day, everyone!
IQ Vs. EQ
By Candy Tymson
You are on an interview panel working with a short list of three people for a senior role. Every candidate has top educational and technical abilities - how do you decide which one would be the best for the job?
Your company is downsizing and 20% of your team has to go. The decree is to keep 'the best people'. On what criteria would you decide who is 'the best'?
I picked up a book at the airport recently by Daniel Goleman on 'Working with Emotional Intelligence' … and just couldn't put it down.
According to Goleman "our emotional intelligence determines our potential for learning the practical skills that are based on its five elements: self-awareness, motivation, self-regulation, empathy, and adeptness in relationships. Our emotional competence shows how much of that potential we have translated into on-the-job capabilities".
The Impact of Emotional Maturity
Think back to the top performers at your school, university or colleague. What are they doing today?
I know a number of people who are good examples of outstanding IQ and low EQ. One topped the State in his final year exam. Forty years later he lives alone and works as a postman. Another acquaintance came in the top twenty in the State, twenty years ago. He now works as a clerk in the taxation department.
And yet I know others who had mediocre academic performances and yet have been outstanding achievers in the business world. So do you.
A study of Harvard graduates in the fields of law, medicine, teaching, and business found that scores on entrance exams - a surrogate for IQ - had zero or negative correlation with their eventual career success.
So think back to the two scenarios: deciding whom you are going to hire or fire. What is it that would make you select one person over another of equal technical skills?
Star Performers Are Aware of Their Limits
Research has confirmed time and time again that it is a person's communication skills that gets them to the top - and keeps them there.
Ask any executive recruitment specialist and they will tell you that the emotional competence of the candidate is proving to be as important today as their intellectual competence.
It's not that star performers have no limits on their abilities but rather they are aware of their limits. In short, out-of-control emotions can make smart people ineffective.
What we are talking about is an ability to control and direct your emotions and feelings, but not being so controlled that you stifle all feeling and spontaneity - and therefore any spontaneous behaviour from those around you.
If you have emotional competence you have a choice as to how you express your feelings and how you act.
What are EQ Strengths?
How do you score according to Goleman's list of what characteristics determine how successfully you handle impulse and deal with upsets?
Do you have the following attributes?
* Self Control: Are able to manage disruptive emotions and impulses effectively
* Trustworthiness: Display honesty and integrity
* Conscientiousness: Dependable and responsible in fulfilling obligations
* Adaptability: Flexible in handling change and challenges
* Innovation: Open to novel ideas, approaches, and new information.
And how are you when people give you feedback? (Or indeed are you even open to accepting feedback?)
What we are effectively talking about is emotional maturity. An openness, willingness and self-confidence to develop and grow, to be mature in how we handle others and ourselves.
In business for example it is the ability to step aside from your emotional reaction in an upsetting circumstance and look logically at what actually happened - and sometimes being that honest can be very confronting! However it enables you to see where the other person is coming from, and what you need to do to fix things.
How's your EQ?
Distinctions: EQ v. IQ
By Susan Dunn, MA
DEFINITIONS
EQ - is a measure of your emotional intelligence, or your ability to use both your emotions and cognitive skills in your life. Emotional intelligence competencies include but are not limited to empathy, intuition, creativity, flexibility, resilience, coping, stress management, leadership, integrity, authenticity, intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills.
IQ - a number used to express the apparent relative intelligence of a person that is the ratio multiplied by 100 of the mental age as reported on a standardized test to the chronological age. IQ is the measure of cognitive abilities, such as the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new situations; the skilled use of reason; the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests); mental acuteness; logic and analytical skills.
COMPARISONS
EQ gets you through life vs. IQ gets you through school
Appealing to reason and emotions to convince someone vs. Trying to convince someone by facts alone
Using your emotions as well as your cognitive abilities to function more effectively vs. Relying solely on your cognitive skills
EXAMPLE
Samuel had a high IQ. He could reason, was analytical and logical, and had a steel-trap focus on tasks. He learned new things quickly. However, he ignored how he was feeling and how others were feeling. If things didn't do the way he expected them to, he would lose his temper and lash out at others. He was unable to relate to people who weren't as smart as he was and lacked empathy. This limited his ability to be effective in team situations even though his IQ was very high.
Jose had a high EQ. He got along well with people, and managed his own emotions well. This made him highly effective in his work, even though there were others in the firm with higher IQs. Jose was able to consider the emotional component of interactions, using both his cognitive abilities and his understanding of emotions. He was able to influence and motivate people because he understood what mattered to them and was an excellent communicator. His authenticity and integrity made him a natural leader. He was flexible and creative when faced with a challenge, and resilient in the face of temporary defeats. He was well-liked and well-respected.
KEY POINT
Your EQ has more to do with your success and happiness in life than your IQ and emotional intelligence can be learned.
RELATED DISTINCTIONS
Knowing how and why vs. Knowing what
Knowing how to motivate each person vs. Treating everying as if they operated the same way which they don't
Managing emotions and using them for good results vs. Being at the mercy of emotions because you don't understand them or know how to work with them.
BENEFITS
When you recognize the difference between EQ and IQ, you can work to develop your EQ. It can be learned but has often been neglected in our education both at home and at school.

Educational enough for you
ah well? Did you learn anything?
ms smarty pants anon at 4:10; if you had your thinking cap on, you would have already seen from previous posts, that this topic has been discussed eons ago.
That is certainly very informative, Anon.
I have always believed in the importance of high EQ as opposed to high IQ.
Thanks!
I am fine 2.36. How's you and your day?
You obviously didn't learn a thing from those previous posts first 4.27. Go back and read them.
Thank you second 4.27. Some things can never be repeated enough.
And where does it say topics can be discussed only once?
Some topics are broad enough to be revisited.
Does this topic make you feel uncomfortable 1st 4:27?

I was going to ask the same questions.
Do we need to make a list of everything that has been discussed in previous posts do we know never to mention those things again?
That would include everything said by everyone today.
Wasn't spring discussed last year? We can never discuss spring again.
Forget about discussing summer when it comes. Mark fall and winter off the list with an X. Been discussed. Can't revisit those subjects.
Kapunua,
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Well i'm so very sad for you. I will never put away childish things. It is what keeps us "young at heart"
sign in TS.
Sign in anon.
Corinthians anon, then I'd say it's a damned good thing that I'll never become a man. :)
No but seriously, it always makes me laugh a little when someone uses the Bible to try to school me in something, or change my ways. I don't believe in it, so it's not going to mean much to me.
As far as "putting away childish things," you know, it's odd. I think that my generation might actually be the first to "not put away childish things." Perhaps even the generation before mine?
And generations even before the Baby Boomers are taking up "childish things" once again. I was at the chiropractor's the other day and there was a couple who were in their early 80's, and they were extolling the virtues of the Wii.
The thing of it is that we have time these days. We have leisure. And how we choose to fill that time, barring going out and harming anyone else, is really up to us?
You like to watch TV? Or watch your favorite movies or whatever? Or read your favorite books?
Well so do I. But I also love to play my favorite games. It is a valid storytelling medium that actually lets you take part in the story.
Why is that such a "childish" pursuit, or why is it so much less worthy than watching TV or a movie? Or reading a book?
I guess I will never understand it.
Apparently you have NOT put away "childish" things.
Anon at 5:03. Does that mean that we have to eat old people cereal? Yuck!
Do you still play with Barbies too?
Do you still play with Barbies too?
March 22, 2009 5:33 PM
Not anymore. I still eat candy though.
No; but then when I was in college I knew this woman who was in her 30's or 40's at the time whose hobby was her Barbie dolls.
Back in the day when I had Barbie dolls, my cousins and I were playing atypical Barbie games, I guess you could say. They were all murder mysteries, with Barbie either the victim or the killer. I never liked Barbie too much. I did like PJ though.
Then Atari came out and that was pretty much it for dolls. I've been a gamer since then, anon. Since Pong and Pitfall Harry.
I was 14 when Nintendo came out and the first Zelda game was released and I was obsessed with it.
Unlike many kids though, my friends and I didn't stay indoors and do nothing aside from play video games. We played the video games, and then we went outside and acted them out. That was the best part. We wanted to be a part of the world; to stay inside the story.
And when you think about it, anon, it's adults who are making these games. You know? They're writing the stories, designing the characters etc. And I would say that they are pretty successful. :)
Anon, I have to go to my folks and set up their Wii. ^_^
Do yourself a favor though. Give playing another chance.
good morning!
Hi K
I don't wanna go to work......
but gotta get ready........
blah.....
Japan is one of the biggest exporters of child pornography and animal cruelty Kapunua. Why don't you boycott their products? Isn't it true that these games all come from Japan? But that doesn't seem to stop you.
You don't stop playing just because you get old - you get old because you stop playing.
taps 5:49 on the shoulder and whispers
it's china ^.~
5:17 and 5:44
you play with your toys and let us play with whangs.

Don't get old 5:51 and 5:44

No, I said Japan and I meant it. It's a well known fact that Japan is known for child pornography and whale hunting. Where is the boycott of Japanese products?
Hey Mayo!
Having a nice Sunday? I hope you are! Mayo the kitty is sitting here looking at me and rolling around in my living room floor. He just took an hour long nap on my couch! Must be nice to be Mayo the kitty! Haha! Anyways, hope you have a wonderful week and hope to see you soon!
Hey SS!
Hope you are doing okay! Miss ya, dude! Sorry to say that SS Phantom Kitty is missing in action.

After the game I fell asleep and just woke up. A very lazy Sunday.
Hey Smoke nice to see you

You obviously didn't learn a thing from those previous posts first 4.27. Go back and read them.
I beg to differ 4:30. You so obviously failed to understand how to develop and exercise this trait.
Go back and quaint yourself with Daniel Goleman. Put his other book, Social Intelligence on your list too.
Do we need to make a list of everything that has been discussed in previous posts do we know never to mention those things again?
No, it means that you are not that familiar with the ins and outs of this blog. You jump in and accuse others of certain behavior, yet you indulge in it yourself.
Took you all afternoon to come up with that did it? How many people were called in to help you with that comeback? You're so quick. Your social skills are as excellent as your ability to think on your feet. You're out the box anon.
back for a quick goodbye
I'm off to work
see y'all later!!

Hey Elena.
lol 8:01, i think you are right. i think that was a group effort (pretty poor though).
7:59
You may want to be quiet before you hurt yourself. I'm not the one who came in here insulting the good people of this blog because their chatter didn't live up to some pretentious person's expectations.
Not everyone here is trying to impress someone. Some of us don't need to use six syllable words or talk physics.
Still have yourself on that pedestal I see. Must be lonely all the way up there.

Awww!, you went and hurt my feelings. I guess it's all due to your outstanding emotional Intelligence.
So, what's this?
nope, still sad in here and the intelligence quotient seems to have fallen several points. Ah, well.
and this?
yeah, whang talk is the epitome
Those aren't insults 8:04 and 8:14. Those are facts. The gospel of blog believe.
The gospel of the blind being led by the blinder. Haven't you paid attention to the ins and outs of this blog?
You must be a nitwit just like me.
Hi Smoke
Thanks Crowd Anon
Well I'm off for a bit. Take care everyone.
Mayo
I might not make it back here tonight so take care and goodnight.
8:14
I would not continue with this.
This anon clearly does not understand emotional intelligence and I think the whole concept scares the shit out of them.
Why else would they try to stop you continuing with the topic today?
Let's play guess who 8:10 and ah,well is.
This is a non-denominational blog. Gospels don't exist here.
Your ins and outs must pertain to a parallel universe. The blind being led by the blinder is so two months ago.
BTW I am very proud of my nitwit status.
Take care elena. :)
they would never admit to being those people and would then whine about being persecuted!
i think it is between 3 blues though.
This anon clearly does not understand emotional intelligence and I think the whole concept scares the shit out of them.
And you do?
And you do?
Yup
They're not my ins and outs. They're 7:59's ins and outs. They're such an expert on blog believe.
I'm just a nitwit who jumped in without knowing anything about why the whang chattereres were being ridiculed, mocked and insulted. I have no emotional intelligence.
Which is why I felt no empathy towards the ones whose intelligence was being mocked.
I join you in the celebration of nitwithood.
Let's play guess who 8:10 and ah,well is.
This should be fun...
Yup
Fine anon, I won't shatter your fantasy.
Shatter your fantasy. Sounds like a great name for a video game.
Fine anon, I won't shatter your fantasy.
That is a very odd thing to say. You don't know me. Why do you think it is a fantasy and more importantly why do you feel the need to disparage people?
8:31
Let's write a new gospel. The Gospel according to nitwits. Could be a best seller.
I was 7:59, 8:37.
I think I misunderstood you. I offer you my sincerest apologizes.
I agree with your celebration anon. The nitwits and misfits of this world make life's experience so much richer.
and would it be written by ms nitwit smarty pants or by ms smarty pants nitwit?
Why do you think it is a fantasy and more importantly why do you feel the need to disparage people?
One of the best, most pertinent questions ever asked here. I would like to hear the answer to that one.
It would be cowritten by MRS nitwit smarty pants.
My money is on VV or GV.
Did I pin the tail on the right donkey?
Why do you think it is a fantasy and more importantly why do you feel the need to disparage people?
I wasn't trying to disparage you. There is a basic principle; the way you speak or come across to a person may be reflected back to you in their response.
I suppose the emotionally intelligent try not to react.
What the beef is going on? I scanned the comments and I'm so confused. Who is who and why are they fighting?
And, now it's bad to talk about physics too? Jeez. Poetry, quotes, song lyrics, video games, and now physics. I mean for pete's sake, dude. Just say it already.
It's bad to talk about whangs and anything that has been mentioned before
according to ah, well and 4:27.
That wasn't our rule. It was theirs. That's what the bleep is going on.
Thank you for input on the current topic of discussion.
I did get the right donkey didn't I.
I pinned that tail right on that jackass
while blindfolded.
What did I win?
lol. it's just too easy with them.
I think you have it all wrong. 4:27 responded to ah well who came across as having a chip on their superior intellectual shoulder.
4:27 may have been confused thinking ah well posted the emotional Intelligence information.
Of course people with EI will challenge behavior but they will not be intimidated by name calling, bullying etc.
Does it scare you when you cannot intimidate people?
You've won a lifetime supply of everything you have ever wanted.
And, you know what that'll get ya, right?
Sorry Dr Freud, who are you talking to?
Those who are capable of admitting they were wrong should all say i'm sorry for any misunderstandings today.
Those who aren't
should read more books and articles about EQ vs IQ.
There is a basic principle; the way you speak or come across to a person may be reflected back to you in their response.
Then you should speak in the manner you wish to be spoken to.
Where will it get me 9:35? Will it get me there fast? I'm in a rush.
Then you should speak in the manner you wish to be spoken to.
The person was responding the way that person spoke to them.
We need another donkey, a few more tails, and more blindfolds. I still want to know exactly what I won.
The person was responding the way that person spoke to them.
i believe 4:27 spoke before fantasy anon.
No, wait.
I don't even know what game you were playing.
How could I declare a winner?
How could I bestow winnings?
Needless to say, I am late, and I apparently have no idea what I am talking about.
Or, why.
ah well spoke before 4:27 and the fantasy anon.
I believe you're right 9:47.
I believe I'm in the middle of a lover's spat. Going now.
I don't think Ah, Well is here now.
Is there anyone here who actually wants to talk about how their weekend was?
I don't think 4:27 is either.
Hello Amy.
Tell us how yours was. Good, I hope.
10:01, it wasn't bad. I always put myself through a lot of stress when the in-laws arrive, but there was no point. Mister's mom had been here for about an hour when she said "Okay, so what are we doing tonight? I really want a DRINK!"
And jaws dropped all 'round. Mister's mother isn't even a social drinker, but her and I split a bottle of White Merlot, and had a giggly good time making dinner.
Saturday was fun too, a bit of shopping for things for the boys' camping trip in June, and then we came home and barbecued. I made a risotto, but found out that it really is best to use cheap wine. The good stuff just didn't cut it.
And this morning, we woke up to 20 cm of snow on the ground. Hoo-rah.
What about you? Anyone? Bueller?

it is amazing to me that I made two comments this morning, yet am still being discussed hours later.
Welcome to Mayo's.
Anyway, I'm going to go and bake some cupcakes.
Have a good evening anyone and everyone.
Is that the priceless piece i won 10:21? I love it. Can I change the name to Civilization -- Going down?
Night Amy. Hey anons
Anons, LOL, you totally lost me. I can't seem to keep up. Whangs? Okay! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I don't know if you guys are fighting or agreeing with each other. O_o
Well, Mayo, so like I said, I'm superfly happy because I have a PSP. I'm such a simple creature. I hope that you also have some dumb little thing like that which makes you irrationally happy. :)
S(S)S, I dunno why, but you strike me as the type who would have something like that.
Oh! And Mummy and Daddy K really like the Wii! I'm so glad they have one. :)
Well, anyway, I'm off once more.
later all!
Whoop!
If that amazes you ah, well the only logical explanation would be
you haven't been around here much.
Which would lead to the question
Why were you insulting the good people who were here last night with these comments

What's your agenda ah well. Not my usual word. It's a word others like to throw all around this place. When it suits them.
Hey bc.
Goodnite Amy.
I just noticed a huge change in the conversational content than when I was last here, and felt compelled to express my disappointment.
ah, well,
I guess you haven't been around here that long then. We tend to loosen up and talk about shit sometimes. Just to let you know.
What was being discussed the last time you visited ah well? How long ago was that?
Were beverages bursting through the walls or were condiments eating each other?
Refresh our memory and someone here might indulge you.
