We spend so much time
Focused on getting things right
Measuring how smart we are
Focusing on our competence
Relying on our intellect
That sometimes we forget
That it’s not the be all and end all
That sometimes the key to our success
Is simply how well we manage ourselves
Dealing with stress in the right way
Managing our impulses
Finding the right words to say
And knowing how to communicate them
Keeping optimistic when times are hard
Being flexible in changing times
Managing difficult situations with courage
Making decisions with consideration
Of what and who is around
Having a clear mind and focus
Being positive and firmly grounded
Keeping calm when under pressure is an art
A little emotional intelligence
Can take you pretty far
