            Four habits of highly emotionally intelligent people 

   It has increasingly become accepted that emotional intelligence (EI) is an important factor in our success and happiness,not only at work,but in our relationships and all areas of our lives. 1 Here are four habits that people with high El have:

   1. They focus on the positive. While not ignoring the bad news,emotionally intelligent people do not spend a lot of time and energy focusing on problems. 2 These people focus on what they are able to do and what is within their control.

   2. They surround themselves with positive people. People with a lot of El don't spend a lot of time listening to complainers. They are aware that those people are not helpful to them. 3 You can spot these folks as they tend to smile and laugh a great deal and attract other positive people. Their warmth,openness,and caring attitude let others look upon them as more trustworthy.

   3. They look for ways to make life more fun,happy,and interesting. Whether it is in their workplace,at home,or with friends,high El people know what makes them happy and look for opportunities to expand their enjoyment. 4 Therefore,they do whatever they can to brighten someone else's day.

   4. 5 People with high El are so busy thinking of possibilities in the future that they don't spend a lot of time worrying about things that didn't work out in the past. They take the learning from their past failures and apply it to their actions in the future.

   A. They are willing to let go of the past.

   B. They know how they can use their energy wisely.

   C. So what sets emotionally intelligent people apart?

   D. They receive pleasure and satisfaction from seeing others happy.

   E. So they always spend time with people that look at the bright side of life.

   F. Instead,they use the incident to create awareness of how to not let it happen again.

   G. Rather,they look at what is positive in a situation and look for solutions to a problem.

   I was bom in England with perfect hearing. In 1990,when I was five,my family moved to the United States. I started getting ear infections every three months or so. We didn't have health insurance at the time and when I got a third infection,my parents couldn't  pay for the treatment. I went deaf in my right ear and was left with 20 percent hearing in my left.

   There was always music on in my house when I was little,because my dad was a DJ,and he played all kinds of music. When I grew up,I was hooked on deejaying(播放音乐) . I wanted to leam more. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee,a well-known New York City DJ:“I know you like a challenge. How about teaching a deaf person to deejay?” He wrote back the next day: “Challenge accepted." He tutored me twice a week for two years,helping me develop correct technique. I practiced four hours a dai. Nbw when I'm performing,muscle memory takes over.

   When I started,I wouldn't tell the club managers I was deaf. I would just show up,introduce myself,and start playing music. At the end of the night,they were always so surprised that I couldn't hear. Sometimes I would bring doctors’ notes because they wouldn't believe me. It was what I wanted: they were giving me the chance to play because I was good,not out of sympathy.

   For a show,I set up one speaker facing my left side,my good ear. The speakers that play the bass(低音) are on the floor behind me so I can hear some of the lower frequencies and feel the beat in my feet. I also use software that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. For example,red is the bass,and green is the melody(主旋律) .I'm visually hearing the music. What I love about deejaying is the creativity,what you can do with a machine,two turntables,and a mixer.

   I go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves. I'm big on talking to the parents. Many parents nearly give up their deaf Jcids,but I always tell them ,“My advice to you is to let [your kids] chase their dreams,I'm a deaf DJ,so why not?”
