something desired or planned.

So what
makes a
person
successf
ul?

Is it

The ability to achieve high grades?

The ability to make people happy?
Money?
The ability to get along with others?
The possessions one owns?

~ Strategies for Success ~ The Lawrence Kinlin School of Business ~

The answer? We look at human behaviour

The study of behaviour is often
divided into 2 broad categories:
cognitive (processing information,
applying knowledge) learn from
books, how we process data IQ can we develop this?
affect (feelings and emotions)
learned through relationships - EQ
- can we develop this?
