Emotion can be explained as the mental state of a person. It is shown by various
names like anger, fear, jealousy, love, happiness and sadness etc. of the person,
which means that, emotions can be felt through the senses of the person or through
the events of the real world. Emotional intelligence refers to a person’s ability to identify
one’s own emotions or the emotions of other people, manage them, and act appropriately
in appropriate situations. Emotional intelligence also includes social skills, selfconfidence, introspection, motivation, adaptability, self-regulation or awareness. It reflects
a person’s level of awareness of his own feelings, motives, conduct, etc. Any person
must be aware of his actions and behavior to achieve his work and his goals. It
significantly affects various aspects of personality. Ancient Indian literature similarly
highlights the individual and his path to prosperity, focusing on the individual himself
and his journey to success
