Doggedness Depends On Emotional Traits - Enthusiasm

Emotions Are Contagious. We've All Known It Experientially. You Know After You Have A Really Fun Coffee With A Friend, You Feel Good. When You Have A Rude Clerk In A Store, You Walk Away Feeling Bad.

Women, On Average, Tend To Be More Aware Of Their Emotions, Show More Empathy, And Are More Adept Interpersonally. Men On The Other Hand, Are More Self-confident And Optimistic, Adapt More Easily, And Handle Stress Better.

People Who Are Optimistic See A Failure As Due To Something That Can Be Changed So That They Can Succeed Next Time Around, While Pessimists Take The Blame For The Failure, Ascribing It To Some Characteristic They Are Helpless To Change.

The More Socially Intelligent You Are, The Happier And More Robust And More Enjoyable Your Relationships Will Be.

A Prerequisite To Empathy Is Simply Paying Attention To The Person In Pain.
