Emotional
Intelligence - Indian Hues -- GRK Murty
"Know
thyself" urged the ancient Greek philosopher, Thales. "...Only
he who knows the "Self", goes beyond sorrow", says an Indian
seer. We do try but to a striking extent that self remains
a 'stranger'. Knowing the self is, perhaps, "the most difficult
lesson in the world". Clearly, then, a man must learn how
to live on good terms with that 'stranger', for he is his
companion with whom he must share every thought, every emotion,
and every experience. He should know how to manage and control
that 'stranger' and even improve himself.
