AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – If emotions are getting the better of you while trading online, The Rationalizer may be just the thing to tell you when it’s time to take a break.
The prototype unveiled by Netherlands-based Philips Electronics and ABN AMRO aims at sensing day traders’ stress levels so they can “time-out, wind down and re-consider their actions,” the companies said Tuesday.
Users wear a device called the EmoBracelet that senses stress and makes an accompanying lighted bowl, or EmoBowl, change color and flicker from yellow to red as emotions become more intense.
…. “Their behavior is influenced by emotions, most notably fear and greed, which can compromise their ability to take an objective, factual stance,” they said.

A startling finding by researcers and scientists is that an individuals Success in life is only 20% a function of IQ, actually 80% of the reasons for success is other forces .. which majorly consist of EQ.
Every strong EMOTION has at its root an impulse to action; managing those impulses is basic to emotional intelligence.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the capacity to acquire and apply the information of emotional nature to feel and respond emotionally. It is the ability to experience and productively manage emotions. EQ ( Emotional Quotient) is the measure of EI.
Be it a teacher or a manager at work, an Emotionally competent individual will definitly excell in life… professionally as well as personally …
tomorrow I shall write on the impact & need of EQ for our school teachers ..
