Frustration, Tolerance & Patience Quotient

In the last couple of years have heard and read a lot about  emotional intelligence, social intelligence, intelligent quotient to describe attributes required for people to succeed in life and business. Those were recipes for good times.

The last couple of months have been a near-death experience professionally - seem to be staring at a  bottomless pit with a feeling of complete helplessness. In these times, convinced that each one of us needs to expand our capability and capacity to handle more frustrations, become more tolerant and become infinitely more patient to handle these harsh times.

This is what I refer to as the FPT Quotient, individuals and corporations that can handle these setbacks with maturity - are the ones who will emerge as the successful leaders of tomorrow. 

Like the apt quote - Never pray for an easier life, pray to be a stronger person and keep expanding your FPT quotient;)

    being defeated is temporary, giving up though is permanent…so hang in there…the darkest hour is yet to be, but dawn is just after that…cheers

    I think all the attributes help in all times at various measures. Bottomline, we have to be considered useful by enough of others, for them to pay us :)

    Sure, FPT is the need of the hour, and perhaps always. Temperament to use a cricketing cliche.
