Nowadays, in the development of educational system, developing logical thinking is the main task that our teachers undertake these years, however, as far as I am concerned, emotions are equally of importance in the education of students, moreover, in some situations, emotions are the more significant quality that teachers should cultivate with students.
Admittedly, logical thinking is the foundation skill in the studying of natural science subjects, like physics, mathematics, and so forth. Dr. Karl Albrecht, the international recognized author and speaker, once says, "logical thinking is the process in which one uses reasoning consistently to come to a conclusion, and the foundational skill for studying and research." For instance, in the studying of mathematic, students should learn the concept of division first, later can understand the concept of fraction. Then, students can come to the learning of equations in mathematic problems. So it is a sequence and logical thinking coming to the solution of problems.
Meanwhile, emotional intelligence is the significant and essential quality that leads people to achieve success. I have to viewpoint contributed to my claim. Firstly, the optimism and perseverance that in adversity is the decisive emotional quality in the process of pursuing for success. Consider one person who has the merit in logical thinking but easily be pessimistic when encountering the hardships. Unless Karl Max possessed the merit of persistence, he could not finish the book of On Capital, which was lasting for forty years. Secondly, besides, the quality of creation and innovation are also indispensable qualities that are contributing to the great achievement in the scientific research. For example, the great inventions like the theory of Relativity by Einstein in the scientific world, logical thinking is the basic skill, however, the creation and innovation one has are more significant.
Finally, the education of logical thinking is overemphasized in the education of student's nowadays, by contrast, the education of emotion intelligence are sometimes neglected and ignored by our pedagogues. I have two reasons. Firstly, not all the students will go to do research work after graduation, the task of teachers is to teach various abilities for students' later lives, more important the right and positive attitude toward life and optimistic when confronting the hardships in adversity. Secondly, the emotional quality is also important in the students' later work, which involves communicational, managerial and organizational skills and abilities. For instance, the education in university places too much on the theory, even in the application subjects like computer science. One of my classmates works at a software company for two years, and he told me his feeling the abilities to better communicational with your client, which is very essential in doing projects, like a website for company. So often the dilatoriness and delay of projects is attributed to clients' changing demands causing by not better communications with them before.
To sum up, logical thinking and emotional intelligence are equally important in the education of our students. Besides, educators should pay more emphasize on the education of emotions, which nurturing and cultivating the all-around development students that the society needs.
