Having high emotional intelligence and empathy is more important than having a high IQ to lead a fulfilling life.

Empathy, kindness, and the ability to read social cues are crucial traits to possess for a well-rounded and happy life, as they contribute to forming meaningful relationships and interacting positively with others.
