How do attitude emotional intelligence and motivation affect college and job success?
Our attitudes toward success and failure actually begin in the Mastery Stage during grade school (see Stages of Life, examples: Maslow; Piaget; and others). If a child's parents always completed tasks and homework for the child, or if a child was told he or she would never amount to anything, that child may feel unmotivated to even try to perform tasks.
However, attitude, emotions and emotional intelligence, and motivation can each change throughout life. This is important! People can and do change-- in all areas.
Attitude
Many young adults enter college because it "is expected". Some of these students don't really want to learn, but they enter college as if it is another milestone, like progressing from baby bottle to a sippy cup. If they have the attitude that they don't really care about education or about the grades they earn, these students could be satisfied with earning a C.
Other students, though, have an attitude that values learning, education, and achieving adult milestones. With this attitude, even a student with an aptitude of a C-learner may concentrate harder, study longer, and earn a B-grade instead of the expected C.
Motivation
Motivation works hand-in-hand with attitude, and for the most part, each is a component of success in any endeavor. In some cases, though, (a bad or poor) attitude can work against motivation. For example, a young man's attitude is the world acts against him and gives all the breaks to people who have better homes, cars, clothing. He has none of these - yet. He feels motivated to go to school, learn a good trade that will earn him good money. He has the aptitude, even though he hasn't always brought home A's in high school. Then, half-way through the first semester, he scores a "C" grade. His negative attitude rears up; he blames the instructor for giving other "better-dressed" students the A's and that he only got a C because "the teachers want me to fail, just like my dad always said I'd fail". Here, the student has a psychological disconnect between his desire and motivation, and his attitude and self-esteem. Usually, a person can have all the desire and motivation in the world, but if he or she suffers from a low self esteem with negative attitudes about themselves especially or about others, success will be hard-fought and hard-won. IF, however, the person changes their attitudes and maintains their motivation, success comes much easier regardless of a person's background.
Emotional intelligence (EI or EQ)
Emotional intelligence differs from what we know as IQ-- intelligence quota. There are many people who have high IQs but who have impaired emotional intelligence (EI). EI combines many inter-personal and personal skills and helps guide us in our reactions to other people. EI is not the same as maturity or immaturity, but instead relies on one's ability to accurately assess, identify, and even manage the emotional climate within ourselves and in relation to others. Rather than being mature or strictly self-reliant, IE means we can rely on our emotional senses as one skill among many other skills (such as IQ, attitude, motivation). Daniel Goleman introduced this "mixed model" of how to define IE. You can read more here about the different definitions and models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence
Summary
The descriptions I gave apply to students or employees. Remember though, many people with lower EI often do succeed in highly skilled professions... and many average IQ students succeed and obtain gainful employment. Of all of these traits, motivation and attitude put the most drive into any accomplishment, and for that reason, educators and psychologists must give early attention to people who grew up in environments with low motivation and negative attitudes.
How do you know if you're dumb?
Intelligence is multifaceted and cannot be reduced to a single measure. Feeling unsure about your intelligence does not necessarily mean you are dumb. Instead, focusing on self-improvement, learning, and growth can help you build confidence and skills.

To manage change in yourself and others, it is important to communicate openly and transparently about the reasons for the change, listen to concerns and address them, and provide support and resources to help navigate the change. It is also important to lead by example, stay adaptable, and encourage a positive mindset towards change.
How can you stop feeling depressed if you have low confidence?
Start by seeking support from a therapist or counselor to work on building your self-esteem. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment, and challenge negative thoughts by practicing self-compassion and positive affirmations. Surround yourself with supportive and positive people who uplift you, and prioritize self-care and healthy habits to boost your confidence.

How did the melian dialog affect issues like self interest?
The Melian Dialogue highlighted the clash between self-interest and morality in international relations. The Athenians prioritized their own self-interest and power over the Melians' pleas for justice, ultimately leading to their conquest. This dialogue serves as a case study illustrating the realpolitik principle that countries often act in their own self-interest, regardless of moral considerations.
Yes, hate groups still exist in various forms and continue to spread messages of bigotry and discrimination. These groups often target marginalized communities based on factors like race, religion, or sexual orientation, and can promote violence and hatred.

When do personality traits become a disorders?
1/ Typically personality traits are only graduated to a disorder when they are inflexible or maladaptive; to the point that it creates significant chaos and disruption in the life of those who are exhibiting the traits. Problems in society, such as work or interpersonal relations, when caused as a direct result of personality traits are considered as disorder. Sad but true. If you are getting along well for the most part with your personality traits then it is not considered disorder. For the most part we as a society exhibit similar traits, but to varying degrees. When the degree is too little or extreme this is a sign of disorder .
2/ May I try to explain the difference between Personality Disorders and Personality traits. Personality disorders are according to mental health professionals diagnosis criteria, problems a few men or women may have in their personality which get them into trouble in their lives. These are characterised by that person's "failure to learn from experience or adapt appropriately to changes". As a result people having one or more Personality Disorders usually experience personal distress, serious impairment of social functioning and difficulties in employment, usually leading to them being failures in their working life and/or committing criminal offences sometimes leading to prison and problems in making friends and in their relationships with others.
There are three clinical groups of personality disorders that people may suffer from, although most people with personality disorders tend to have two or more of them within their overall personality and character. The groups involve :
a/ Extremely weird behaviour - including a Paranoid Personality Disorder, a Schizoid Personality Disorder, a Schizotypal Personality Disorder, and a Self- Defeating or Masochist Personality Disorder.
b/ Extremely dramatic/emotional behaviour - including Histrionic Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder.
c/ Behaviour dominated by anxiety and/or fear - including Dependent Personality Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder and Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder.
Regarding Personality Traits, we all have them, whereas only about 2% of us also suffer from personality disorder(s). Personality Traits are a normal part of being a human being whether you are male or female. Assessment of any normal individual's personality involves assessing the degree he or she has or does not have of each of what are termed "the Big Five Personality Factor Models". These are:-
1. Openness to experience.
2. Conscientiousness.
3. Extroversion.
4. Agreeableness
5. Emotional stability or Neurosis
Does a healthy family relationship promote good self esteem in children?
Yes, a healthy family relationship can promote good self-esteem in children by providing them with love, support, and encouragement. When children feel secure and valued in their family environment, they are more likely to develop a positive self-image and confidence in themselves. Healthy family interactions also help children learn important social and emotional skills that can contribute to their overall well-being.
Personal locus of control refers to the belief in one's ability to control their outcomes. Individuals with an internal locus of control are more likely to take responsibility for their learning and seek opportunities for growth, making them more inclined to exhibit characteristics of a lifelong learner such as self-motivation, curiosity, and resilience. This belief in personal agency drives them to actively engage in continuous learning and self-improvement.
Know it sounds mean but is there any way to mess up a narcissist?
I am in the middle of trying to end a relationship with a narcissist - I have children so it was very important for me that they know who I am. I realised that he there was something wrong with him after just two dates with him - I told him I was not interested in a relationship with him and he literally 'squared up' to me and said in an extremely aggressive and threatening way that 'he was looking forward to a bit of romance' .....I knew right then that he did not care about my feelings or who I was and I immediately felt 'not separate' from him. I tried to get away from him numerous times but he continually dumped on me how this would affect him and basically would never understand my point of view. I ended up being broken down into marrying him but all the time I purposely kept my feelings and emotions to myself - my anger and resentment. I made vain attempts to try to talk about the relationship but he would become extremely defensive and give 30 different reasons why I was imagining things and why I was mad. I was in 'cope' mode for twenty years. But at the same time I met someone else 'normal' and had a relationship for a year but when it came to deciding what to do I needed to cut loose from my marriage and resolve the problems before engaging in a relationship elsewhere. I legally separated from my narcistic 'ex' but he STILL didn't let go - and then me met another girl - this was the first time in 20 years that I felt 'free' it was a physical sensation of a huge pole being taken from my head and years of anguish and anger and grief came flooding out. I immediately got back on to him and 'showed' myself to him and gave him a choice to come back but all the time wanting to get all the skeletons out and to take back my life - for the next six months and because he didn't have 'control' over me any more - his raging anger came flooding out and his mask slipped in front of my family - EVERYBODY saw exactly what he was like - for 20 years he USED me as a conduit to filter his insecurity and 'nothingness' and now EVERYBODY saw what he was like. When I separated from him I ensured that I manipulated all the money and have bought my house outright and HE lives in rented accommodation. I have the opportunity to build 'normal' relationships with my children and they are seeing now exactly who the 'mental' person is because for years he told them that I was mentally sick and NOW they can see exactly who the sick one is.
I do not understand why I my life I have had to live through this hell and try to escape with some sort of self respect and self esteem. I HATED playing him at his own game but it was the only way I felt that I could survive and expose him and get my life back. I feel that I have reliquished my power and my trust in men and in relationships because of this and I am really a shell of a person compared to what I was before he crossed my path. I felt that 'reducing' him was my only way to survive and to try to breath again but the process to myself and my health was terrible.
I am not sure whether I would advise anyone to try to mess a narcisist up because at the end of the day they do not have the capacity to feel and to empathise - this would have been the ONLY release for me for him to care and to understand and be respectful - but i KNOW that I will NEVER get this from him - I need to learn to give it back to myself and it is a very difficult thing to do after so many years of being smothered and abused.....
Understanding the impact of societal beauty standards on body image, acknowledging the emotional toll of constant teasing, and recognizing the importance of self-compassion and support in overcoming low self-esteem.
What advice can you give to someone who feels like they don't fit in?
"fitting in" is such an interesting concept to me. I dont recall any written form of what is normal and what isnt, but i completely understand your position. In any situatino, whether it is work or social, there seems to be a perception of a norm and a conformed way of being. One thing i can tell you not to do is not to change who you are to try and be something else. It may seem like the easiest and most effective way to "fit in," but the truth is that the "normal" is changing all the time. There is no forced incentive to belong to the popular crowd or the more liked crowd but everyone is in the mindset that that's where they should be. But honestly, one day "fitting in" consists of wearing bell bottom pants, and the next it could be wearing skinny jeans, so dont give in to the pressure and be yourself. You are bound to form your own lifestyle with people the same of you.
How can you promote self esteem and motivation during daily routines?
One way to promote self-esteem and motivation during daily routines is to set small, achievable goals that you can easily accomplish. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, to boost your confidence and motivation. Additionally, practice self-care, positive self-talk, and gratitude to cultivate a positive mindset and reinforce feelings of self-worth.
What is the difference among ego proud and self respect?
I believe they are both similar, however self respect is more the appreciation of one's worth or contribution to their community that can be shared with others, whereas pride often tends to be selfish and private.
Putting it plainly: the first involves love, the latter - anger.
Another view
Anger? No. Perhaps self love. Nor is that wrong, if you cannot love yourself why should you expect others to love you?
Self respect and pride, especially in yourself, is important. Rejoice in your achievements. Personal things are yours. What do you feel good about?

The concept of a deep self refers to the innermost core of a person's identity, beliefs, values, and emotions that may not be easily accessible or understood. It represents the authentic and unchanging aspects of a person's being that shape their thoughts and behaviors. Understanding and connecting with one's deep self can lead to a greater sense of self-awareness and personal growth.
