Abstract: Part II Control Emotions and Stimulate Forgiveness Love vs. Hate If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.-Daniel Goleman When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion.-Dale Carnegie There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse.-Daniel Goleman Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives, and we obey them without realizing it.-Vincent van Gogh To increase your effectiveness, make your emotions subordinate to your commitments.-Brian Koslow Emotional intelligence is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act.It shapes our interactions with others and our understanding of Case Study ourselves.It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set priorities; it determines most of our daily actions.Research suggests it is responsible for as much as 80 percent of the "success" in our lives.-Joshua FreedmanAfter the Supreme Court ruled that Alabama's bus laws on segregation were illegal, he was careful not to arouse his people either to celebrate outwardly or behave badly toward their white brothers.Dr. King and the leadership of the campaign issued the following leaflet, which became another symbol of the nonviolent movement he was leading:Integrated Bus Suggestions December 19, 1956 This is a historic week because segregation on buses has now been declared unconstitutional.Within a few days, the Supreme Court Mandate will reach Montgomery and you will be reboarding integrated buses.This places upon us all a tremendous responsibility of maintaining, in the face of what could be some unpleasantness, a calm and loving dignity befitting good citizens and members of our Race.If there is violence in word or deed, it must not be our people who commit it.For your help and convenience, the following suggestions are made.Will you read, study, and memorize them so that our non-violent determination may not be endangered?First, some general suggestions:1.Not all white people are opposed to integrated buses.Accept goodwill on the part of many.2. The whole bus is now for the use of all people.Take a vacant seat.3. Pray for guidance and commit yourself to complete non-violence in word and action as you enter the bus.
