Emotional intelligence and social intelligence are deemed more crucial than IQ at times, with empathy being highlighted as a critical component in relationships. Empathy involves the ability to view the world from another's perspective. To enhance empathy, individuals can ask themselves questions to guide their actions and interactions with others. These questions include reflecting on the words they hope others will use to describe them and aligning their behaviors intentionally to elicit those desired descriptions. Being intentional about how one presents themselves and the impact of their actions is key in fostering empathy.
