This one was told by one of my professors at UT Arlington. His name is Dr. David Kung. He is a gem of a person. Passionate towards Software Engineering. And one of the 'true' teachers around who would not only teach whats in books but would also enlighten us about the encyclopedia called life.
We used to have his lectures in early morning. (11 AM is early morning for engineers :) ) In every lecture he would tell us about his experiences, his professional life, how & why to follow your heart while choosing your career, his integrity, how to face challenges and much more.
In one of his lectures, he told us about 4 important Quotients of life that determine what kind of person one is.
1. Intelligent Quotient - Much talked about quotient. aka aptitude.
2. Emotional Quotient - now a days it is gaining importance.
3. Risk taking Quotient - this determines how successful a person becomes. He told us why he chose to study software engineering, even though it was budding and not so popular field at that time.
And last but the most important
4. Integrity Quotient - How to be true to yourself. You might achieve fame, success, money; but if you are not integral to yourself, all that is waste. You won't be happy, no matter how much you pretend to be.
Hmmm... I am always gonna remember that...
I believe everyone should get such a teacher at early stage of life. Such teachers can really influence entire lifetime.
