Recognizing Other People’s Emotions

Understanding other people is related to empathy, namely the ability to understand what other people are feeling and why, and to know how your words and actions will be received by those around you. Without empathy, you will never know them and never know why. It’s very difficult to succeed if you don’t understand other people.

Emotional intelligence is also related to the ability to build relationships with other people. One of the keys is to open your heart to accept the strengths and weaknesses of others. Your effectiveness and success in building relationships are closely related to your ability to interact with people to do what you want.
