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.
