you are welcome. I should thank you for adding me as your friend here in Literacybase. I am new here and I appreciate how you noticed me here.

I am also a newbie and started just this March 11.
When I looked at the members here, they have so many friends already for they were members way back.
I said to myself, how will I be able to make friends here? Who will ask me to be their friend? But since a cousin ‘recruited’ me here, she was my very first friend. The first member I ‘friend…[Read more]

I think both IQ and EQ are equally important. I think the way we “measure” IQ is questionable and very subjective. We are created with intelligence and emotion. That is our human nature. Neither can truly be measured accurately until we apply them in our own lives. There are many people around the world who don’t go to school and never took an academic test. But they’re not stupid or ignorant; and they have a huge heart full of compassion, empathy and sympathy for their fellow human being! That’s what IQ and EQ both measure isn’t it? Your ability to think, to adapt and survive in the world you live in and to care about those who live in that world with you?
-
You are truly right! We are born with both an IQ & EQ.
It is also true that those who have no education are ignorant and stupid.
Its just sometimes it irritates me if people look up to you just because to went to top notch school or finished on top of your class.
I, myself, am not good in my academic achievements & I don’t have a high IQ, but I am good in my inter-personal relationship.
Thank you for your comment. Nice input on this topic.

A child with high IQ and EQ is indeed a very fortunate child. But oftentimes, both are not present in one person; so the saying “you can not have all the cake and eat it too” could be true.
We often see persons with high IQ as loners or they always want to be secluded because they get irritated with people who could not easily grasp what they are conveying or saying. They tend to be anti-social; so one can aspire more for a high EQ and he will enjoy life more.

As Treathyl FOX had commented, we are born with it. It is a matter of enhancing what we have.
I, too, would rather enhance more on the emotional aspect of my life, maybe because I am slow on the intelligence side hehehe.

I’m glad they have returned. All of those things you mentioned in your post have a drastic effect on our ecosystem. But the good thing is the birds adapted and came back. What can I say? Home is home. 🙂
-
Agree with what you say. Home is home for all living being so too for the common Indian sparrow. Many environmentalists were seriously whether this same trend will continue with other birds found in the cities. But luckily it seemed to have had a minimal effect on other species of birds commonly found in cities.
Now advertisements are being played on television regularly to provide the water and food to such birds. So that they feel a welcome guest in the concrete human conglomerations. Thanks for the inputs.

Thanks for responding back to me. The sparrow has a special place in my heart because my mother’s favorite spiritual hymn is called “His Eye is on the Sparrow”. It’s a song about how a kind and loving God watches over all of us from the tiny sparrow to everyone, including you and me. 🙂

I didn’t know that it is called an Indian sparrow because it is very common here and so many of them even inside churches, in the domes. We call it “maya” here in the Philippines.
I am glad they returned to your country.

These common Indian sparrows or Maya as it is called in the Philippines. Were once so many that one could literally find their incessant chirping in the mornings and the evenings. Their used to be hundreds flying together in the evenings and in the early mornings later they used to spread out for food and build nests even there they used to stay in communities of around six to twelve of them. It was quite entertaining to view their activities.
Here it is called by ornithologists as the Indian Sparrow or the Indian House Sparrow. It was one of the first ones to be given a scientific name. The genus name Fringilla is also used for this bird. They are also known as true sparrows or old world sparrows. These are small passerine birds. They are generally adaptive to new areas and spread to long distances easily. While feeding themselves on the way at different stops. Thanks for sharing inputs about this bird.

Actually the problems you describe are not so unique. They are common to law enforcement personnel all around the world. What our law enforcement agencies NEED … no matter what country they are … is a supportive community. People who respect them and will turn to them if they have to face off with a criminal element in the community. Of course, if they don’t build that trust relationship and truly serve and protect the people, then their job is REALLY HARD!! I mean … it’s one thing when people have to defend themselves against criminals. But when they have to defend themselves against criminals and corrupt police … you leave them no choice but to do what they have to do just to survive!

Appreciate your point of view. As I too mentioned in the article these problems are faced by law enforcement agencies in different parts of the world. But here in India the density of population is very high and the number of police there to take care at a normal time is generally less. It is a thankless job that they perform and the sad part is that for a few rotten apples which are their in the system the whole police force gets a bad name. I find this unfortunate. Their work timings, the hours they have to spend standing in the hot sun, having a tight schedule with not time for personal work like lunch and such things take a toll on their health. They are also having community trust building relationships and sensitization programs on various issues. The government is extending reforms which work in the benefit of this force. This process needs to be made more faster.
Obviously no one is hundred percent perfect but I appreciate the good people in the force who are the ones who keep up the image and make ordinary folk approach them in case of problems of any kind. In many cases they have even conducted the marriages of children who are elders and wanted to marry against their parents wishes and counselled all the members of the family to accept the marriage. The play role a good role of settling problems through dialogue too. Thanks for the input.

I totally respect law enforcement people as I also respect those who serve in our military. Don’t know about the news reports in India, but in the United States, the relationship between the police and the citizens in the African-American community has spawned a “Black Lives Matter” movement. It’s a shame really. Because you know that if need be, you will call the police before you call your neighbor if you sense danger. Yet one bad cop or one inexperienced cop who makes a mistake and everybody is in an uproar. I say: “There are way more good police than there are bad police and they have a hard job. Support them!!” That’s what I say!

Why is Coco Martin here? So handsome really!
Thanks for this very important reminder not to clean ears with ear buds when one angry; he might poke deeper and hurt or damage the eardrums! ha ha ha!
I don’t clean my ears with cotton buds when I am angry. I clean them whenever I feel like doing it. And I don’t use just a cotton bud but a very small spoonlike thing we use to get that earwax from our ears.
It was actually our mom=ther whom we get the habit of cleaning our ears with that. Not knowing that it is damaging to our eardrums. Always cleaning our ears just for the sake of liking the nice sensation we get from it, can lead to vertigo.
That’s what happened to me when I had attacks of it. Upon consultation and laboratories nothing is wrong with me that can trigger vertigo. Then, I was interviewed about how I clean my ears and there the doctor dicovered it was that that caused the imbalance in my ears that caused vertigo.
Going back to anger, I just go to a restaurant and eat my comfort food burger , fries and soda. But never clean my ears with cotton buds.
And I don’t clean my ears with that spoonlike ears as often as like before anymore.
@Dina, hehehehe you are a very good girl now for you no longer clean your ears with that ax like stuff in cleaning your sensitive ears hehehe.When my ears itch and itch and itch, I go to our EENT family doctor to excavate the wax and so funny to see waxes so plentiful that keeps on pushing and pushing to let them out from the canal ear hehehe, so funny,
When feel ears itchy just pour hydrogen oxide onto the cotton bud and carefully clean your ears, but make sure you are in your best mood to avoid damage of your ear properties.
Not only cleaning the ears. We should not do anything when when we have anger. If we realise that we have anger that is good.
