According to me emotional intelligence is the mastery of self control. We have to learn to control our emotions at times and at times we have to let them flow freely. The act of controlling the valve of emotions is emotional intelligence. The better control we have the more intelligent we are emotionally.
In todays world emotional intelligence is key to living a happy life. A boss cannot act the way he wants with everyone, he should have control on his emotions and treat everyone as he wants to be treated himself. There is great saying in Bhagvad Gita that we should treat everyone equally, even animals if we want ourselves to be treated fairly. There is lot of advice that one can find in ancient scriptures about emotional intelligence. It seems that even in ancient times they understood the importance of emotional intelligence.
Comparing emotional intelligence with normal intelligence, emotional intelligence out weights the later one by far heavier weight difference. Having only intelligence is not enough to live a happy life. One can be very smart, but be living a unhappy life if he or she doesn't have emotional intelligence.
