Nine
things
smart
people
don't
do
It
is
said
that
90%
of
top
performers
are
people
with
high
emotional
intelligence
.
What's
behind
their
success
?
We
have
a
list
of
nine
key
types
of
behavior
that
smart
people
avoid
in
order
to
remain
calm
,
content
,
and
in
control
.
Try
to
imitate
them
and
increase
your
emotional
intelligence
and
performance
.
1
.
Don't
let
anyone
take
away
your
joy
:
So
you
can
be
the
master
of
your
own
happiness
,
you
mustn't
compare
yourself
,
your
achievements
,
and
your
failures
to
others
.
Focus
on
how
well
you
have
done
and
not
on
what
your
father
,
friend
,
or
workmate
would
do
even
better
.
Emotionally
intelligent
people
won't
let
anyone
limit
their
joy
if
they
are
satisfied
with
what
they've
accomplished
.
While
it's
impossible
to
turn
off
your
reactions
to
what
others
think
of
you
,
learn
to
take
people's
opinions
with
a
.
Remember
that
regardless
of
what
people
think
of
you
at
any
particular
moment
,
one
thing
is
certain
:
you're
never
as
good
or
bad
as
they
say
you
are
.
2
.
Don't
forget
:
Emotionally
intelligent
people
are
quick
to
forgive
,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they
will
give
a
wrongdoer
another
chance
.
3
.
Don't
die
in
the
fight
:
Save
your
energy
for
the
next
day
.
Read
your
emotions
right
to
choose
your
battles
wisely
and
only
stand
your
ground
when
the
time
is
right
.
If
you
get
involved
in
an
unnecessary
conflict
,
your
emotions
will
make
you
dig
your
heels
in
and
leave
you
seriously
damaged
.
4
.
Don't
prioritize
perfection
:
Emotionally
intelligent
people
know
perfection
only
exists
in
fairy
tales
so
they
won't
set
being
perfect
as
their
objective
.
As
humans
we
are
fail
at
times
.
If
you
remember
that
,
you
won't
end
up
wasting
your
time
lamenting
over
what
you
should
have
done
differently
.
5
.
Don't
live
in
the
past
:
When
you
live
in
the
past
,
what
actually
happens
is
your
past
becomes
your
present
,
which
prevents
you
from
moving
forward
and
living
your
life
.
Maybe
you
made
some
mistakes
,
maybe
you
took
some
risks
that
you
wish
you
hadn't
.
Emotionally
intelligent
people
know
that
real
success
depends
on
their
ability
to
rise
in
the
face
of
failure
,
and
that
is
impossible
to
do
when
you
are
living
in
the
past
.
6
.
Don't
dwell
on
problems
:
If
you
on
problems
,
you
allow
your
negative
emotions
and
stress
to
escalate
to
the
point
that
they
will
hinder
your
performance
.
Emotionally
intelligent
people
focus
on
solutions
instead
,
as
this
will
keep
them
more
effective
.
7
.
Don't
hang
around
negative
people
:
Complainers
are
not
the
you
should
seek
out
as
they
do
their
problems
for
far
too
long
and
fail
to
focus
on
finding
solutions
.
If
you
join
their
pity
party
by
lending
a
sympathetic
ear
,
they
are
sure
to
feel
better
but
what
will
you
get
?
You'll
get
sucked
into
their
negative
emotional
spiral
.
It's
far
better
to
set
limits
by
asking
complainers
how
they
intend
to
fix
a
problem
.
This
will
either
quiet
them
down
or
center
the
conversation
on
something
more
productive
and
positive
.
8
.
Don't
hold
grudges
:
Researchers
claim
that
,
as
it
produces
negatives
emotions
similar
to
those
related
to
stress
,
on
your
body
and
can
have
devastating
health
consequences
over
time
including
high
blood
pressure
and
heart
disease
.
Emotionally
intelligent
people
value
their
own
health
and
sanity
way
too
much
to
allow
bad
memories
of
past
experiences
to
ruin
them
.
9
.
Don't
say
yes
unless
you
really
want
to
:
Scientists
from
the
University
of
California
in
Berkeley
found
that
saying
yes
when
you
actually
want
to
say
no
contributes
to
experiencing
more
stress
,
burnout
,
and
in
some
cases
even
depression
.
Though
being
a
difficult
word
to
use
,
a
no
can
save
your
life
or
at
least
,
your
career
.
Saying
no
to
a
new
commitment
honors
your
existing
commitments
and
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
successfully
fulfill
them
.
