Contents

Every individual wants to be successful and it is largely accepted that motivation is the key to ones success. Not surprisingly, therefore, there are a large number of books on motivation and success.

A number of recent studies also indicate that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is yet another key to success. El is that area of human abilities, which plays a much bigger role than any other (life) skill, in making a person successful. El consists of simple things such as caring for others, managing your moods, loving your job, handling impulse or even, simply getting along with people. These qualities are more important than being, say for example, a great mathematician or a top-class engineer. These traits on the emotional plane make top performers (of people) in any professional area.

Literature on El may not necessarily focus on motivation and success, whereas books on motivation and success do not often take into account the emotional factors that mould people and situations. I have made a sincere attempt to bridge that gap by bringing these two important elements together. Books on motivation generally talk about the mechanism of motivation and take the systematic, going-through-the-motions approach. Motivation, morale and success, I, feel, are far more deep-rooted and have more to do with chemistry, than physics. Here actions and reactions come straight from the heart. It is difficult, if not impossible, to mug up a dozen points, repeat them twice a day and keep yourself motivated! To motivate your own self and others, you need to be in touch with your heart!

In fact, emotions, motivations and success are very closely linked and I presume, one cannot exist without the others. Without emotional arousal, you cannot be motivated and without motivation, you cannot perform. Without performing, you cannot be successful! I have aligned emotions, attitudes and motivation and strung them through a common thread to show how human abilities can be optimised to achieve spectacular success. I have, therefore, used EI and emotional abilities as the framework for this book, but have kept motivation and success in the forefront, as the thrust areas. Emotions come straight from the heart and
