EQ is a measure of your ability to recognize（辨别）and manage your emotions, as well as the emotions of others, according to Psychology Today.

If you feel like you have a low EQ, don’t worry. 【小题5】 A good way is using positive thinking to help you get out of failures. By doing so, you can improve your EQ gradually.
