The Difference Between Winners and Losers in Life

The CEO displayed what I call Emotional Prediction, or EP. He was able to predict how Joe, the professor, and you would feel right after the experiment. With just a few sentences, he connected with everyone and made them feel more comfortable. Some people instinctively possess this heretofore unnamed quality. Unfortunately, the majority doesn’t. EP is so complex that people can seldom predict their own emotions, let alone those of others.

                                                        In a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers queried students in the weeks before a major exam about how they would feel in the hours immediately before and just after the test. Later, the researchers asked them about their feelings just before grades were posted. Finally, the researchers inquired, “Precisely how will you feel if you pass? What about if you fail?” Very few students could accurately predict what their own emotional reactions would be. 

                          That’s where you come in. By the time you have finished all my post related to this topic, you will sense other people’s emotions, even before they understand them. You can then connect with them accordingly. This does not mean you have to be a CEO, or even want to be. It does mean, however, you must have Emotional Prediction to achieve your highest goals—whatever they are in life. Whether it is winning friends, finding love, getting a better job, or just being able to connect with people.
