Answer 1

在我进监狱的时候， 我的阅读技巧很糟糕，书法也很差。 但是我想模仿一些博学的囚犯， 我决定为了这个得做点事情， 于是我开始抄写字典。要知道字典上有各种各样的信息。它就像一个小型的百科全书。 但是抄写字典最重要的结果是它是我更有效地明白我需要阅读的词干。我从监狱图书馆查阅各种图书，包括非小说类文学作品和文学作品。我非常喜欢阅读以至于熄灯号响了我还沉浸其中。我是如此的渴望知识以至于我会躺在地板上伴着走廊微弱的灯光读书直到我听到走廊里有巡警走过。许多人都说在监狱里不可能有真正的复原。但是我觉得我学的比我在任何一所大学学的都多，即使没有给我授予学位。毕竟，还有哪里我可以这么有力地对抗我的无知，可以独自呆着，可以被允许每天读15个小时的书？
一个小孩不能吃棉花糖和他在生活上成功与否有什么关系？结果证明，相当有关系。一个四岁的孩子为了能够获得第二次的“款待”能够控制住，这样会比你把他当成成年人表现出更多的自我控制能力。 这种控制冲动的能力是情绪智力的一部分。表现出这种能力的孩子长大后会被很好地调整过来，并且会更成功。那些没有表现出的孩子在将来面临挑战和处理生活挫折的时候可能就不太会成功。在过去，我们对智力主要局限在某种技能使一个人在学校成绩很好。但是情绪智力通过把焦点聚焦在理智怎样处理情感而不是想法重新定义了什么是聪明。有很多对情绪智力的理解方法都是很容易懂的。它可以帮助父母培养他们的孩子，帮助企业管理员工，帮助解决许多社会问题。这些想法都不是很有争议的，但是情绪智力的一些其他方面却是很有争议的。例如，一些学者们在这个想法上被冒犯，这样一个复杂的抽象概念会被简化为一个简单的EQ的数值。

当我来到监狱的时候，我的阅读能力很差，文笔更糟。但是我想要赶上那些比我阅读水平高的囚犯们，我决定做些什么，我开始从头到尾的抄字典。你知道，字典里面有各式各样的知识。它本身就是一部百科全书的缩影。但是最重要的是，我获得了一些能够帮助我有效阅读的单词。不久之后，我基本上就能够随手拿起一本书然后读懂。我翻阅过监狱图书室里各种各样的书籍，包括传记和文学。我非常热爱阅读，以至于经常沉迷于时不时的“灵感”之中。我对于知识的渴望使我经常躺在地板上借助走廊里透过来的灯光读书，一直到听见走廊里传来巡警的脚步。很多人都说监狱里的日子不好过，但是我感觉我在这里学到的比在任何监狱里学到的都多，即便在这里我得不到任何学位。毕竟，也许找不到其他地方能够让我充分利用被别人忽视的条件，自己呆着，每天能够阅读15个小时以上。

小孩子自控不吃棉花糖的能力与其人生的成功有多大关系？答案是，相当有关。一个四岁的孩子若是能够坚持住得到第二次给予的糖果，那么他成人后将会表现出更强的自制力。这种能够控制自己冲动的能力是一个人情商的重要组成部分。有这种能力的孩子调节能力更强，将来也会更加成功。
相反，没有这种能力的孩子则当遇到人生中的挑战和挫折时就更容易失败。过去，人们对智力的标准仅仅限制于能否在学校学好的能力。但是情商更注重情感而不是想法从而重新阐述了聪明的标准。理解情商有多种途径。可以帮助父母抚养孩子，帮助公司管理员工，帮助解决许多社会问题这些观点并没有太多争议，但是对于情商的其他方面就不是这样了。比如，有一些学者认为这种复杂抽象的观点将会被以情商的形式过于简化。
