7. You Are A Realistic Goal-setter.

7. You Are A Realistic Goal-setter.

When you have a goal and you don’t plan for it; it’s merely a wish.

They don’t do things because regular people are doing them. The only things they involve themselves in are those things they genuinely care about.

4. You Are Not Easily Swayed By Words.

The words of others don’t easily sway emotionally intelligent people. They carefully weigh uncommon knowledge against their standards of reasoning before giving it a chance to influence them. Advertising gimmicks, or the alluring words of a suitor, do not easily fool them.
