　　On October 23, 2011, David Pologruto, a high school physics teacher, was stabbed (刺) by his smart student Jason Haffizulla．Jason got straight A's and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall．His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine (损害) his entrance to Harvard．After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher．

　　How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence．

　　During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy．I got good marks in mathematics, physics, and other subjects．I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future．After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students．The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, and did minimal work to pass courses．The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies．Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?

　　Not so．Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought．Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions．

　　Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent．You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter．It's not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it's that people dislike you because you're rude and not understanding．The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others' emotions．

　　A person has two hands, two legs and two eyes, but it is only at first sight that a human being is symmetric(对称的)．Firstly, we have a leading hand, the right one for the majority of people．Secondly, we have a leading eye．It has been found that the right eye is the leading one for about two thirds of all people, and the left one for one third of all people．The experiment involved only right-handed students．Some of them had a right leading eye, and the others had a left leading eye．All of the subjects in this experiment were asked to read a passage on the computer screen, the passage being placed either in the right or in the left part of the screen．It turned out that the“left-eyed”subjects read the text quicker when it was placed on the left, than when the passage was placed on the right．As for the“right-eyed”individuals, no such differences were noticed with them．

　　More detailed analysis has since proved that when the“left-eyed”people were reading the left-side text, the brain perceived more symbols than in case of reading the right-hand text．This is directly connected with the speed of reading as the more symbols a glance perceives, the quicker a person reads．There is one more sign of the successful execution of reading：in the course of reading, the reader's glance periodically(周期性的)returns back to words already read．Thus, in the left-sided text, the“left-eyed”subjects made fewer returns than they did in the right-sided text, which meant they were more successful in recognizing“left”text than“right”text．In addition to this, the majority of the“left-eyed”persons performed faster quick eye movements to the left than to the right．

　　It allows designers to take the leading eye into account when producing various kinds of video-products．
