There are many lessons that we can learn from the quarantine period that we are experiencing. One of the most evident is the importance of love, compassion, and emotional intelligence. Regrettably, there have been reports of discrimination and prejudice held against certain minority groups around the world, particularly of Asian descent, due to misinformation and the propagation of hate. Nevertheless, there have also been amazing people who have stood together to show love, compassion, and unity for all, throughout this time. We applaud those that are supporting one another and spreading love through these difficult moments.

Evidently, moments such as this showcase the invaluable necessity of emotional intelligence (EQ) and compassion. At Greatway Financial, these qualities are essential to the role that we all play in our respective communities, but also as part of the greater the fabric of Canada. According to Wikipedia, emotional intelligence (EI), emotional leadership (EI), emotional quotient (EQ) and emotional intelligence quotient (EIQ), is “the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behaviour, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goal(s)”. Furthermore, we believe that compassion and emotional intelligence is our ability to use our understanding of the human condition to spread humanity towards humanity.

We are all members of this planet, humans with families, friends and loved ones. We each have legacies that we wish to give to the next generation and dreams that we work towards accomplishing for the betterment of our lives and those that we love. Therefore, let’s bear in mind the importance of acknowledging the human experience – which is something that is experienced by all. Let’s be more kind to one another and continue to support each other through good and challenging times. This is the 'great way' of doing things. (Related: Add Value)
