Gabriel Liiceanu: Sa acceptam ca exista gânditori în fata carora te poti "preda", ca gândurile lor, în loc sa fie "digerate pâna la a li se pierde urma", devin totodata, deîndata ce le expui si interpretezi, calea ta privilegiata de acces la lucruri. Nu exista nici o garantie ca numai drumul drept te poate duce la tinta. Exista si ocoluri convenabile. Asa cum exista si exegeze mincinoase. Citezi, sistematizezi, explici. Dar o faci pe fondul unui travesti mental: lasându-l pe celalalt sa vorbeasca, vorbesti si tu odata cu el.

"Nu ne temem niciodată de vag, ci doar de precis. Îmi imaginez un omuleț care îmbracă o togă și care îmi rostește sentința. Totul aici e precis: judecătorul, vina, sentința. Răspunderea mea este de asemenea precisă, dar e mică, iar consecințele nu sunt ultime. Și totuși teama mea e teribilă și fac tot ce pot pentru a nu ajunge în fața omulețului în togă. Stăm față în față cu viața noastră sau cel care ne-a făcut concesia libertății. Totul aici e vag: judecătorul, vina, sentința."

There have been a lot of scientific studies dedicated to studying emotional intelligence and how it affects our lives. In the past, the focus was more on IQ as the gold standard for predicting performance. Intelligent people are those who are often described as having high IQs. But recent studies have shown that the more capable, competent and effective individuals are actually those that have a high emotional quotient. In fact, researchers have discovered that people with average IQs outperform those with high IQs 70 percent of the time.
