1. Title of the Article: Emotional Intelligence
2. Author(s) : Patricia Holt

What does emotional intelligence do to determine an individual’s success in life? Success in


life and career has been what everyone longs for. and how do we improve our emotional
intelligence to succeed in life and career? Its been a debate for long time which one is more
important, but there have been recent discoveries that EQ is much more important in
determining an individual success.
Reprinted from San Francisco Chronicle 1995 adapted from 77ie Talks About Emotions---
Success Depends on Self-Control by Patricia Holt took reference from the best-seller book
“Emotional Intelligence” by Daniel Goleman. In his book, Daniel Goleman test four-year-
old children to determine what effects will their Emotional Intelligence will do to their life in
the future. The test called “The Marshmallow Challenge” where each individual 4-years old
children will be handed one marshmallow where they will be given a choice of eating it right
away, or to be given another marshmallow but have to wait for a specific amount of time
until the man giving the marshmallow return. Goleman research indicate that when they
tracked down the same children several years later, the children who waited for the second
marshmallow shows sign of socially capable and embraced challenges. On the other hand the
one who eats the marshmallow right away are likely to be seen as indecisive and react to
situations with an unstable emotions.
Goleman explain that their behavior in the future is the result of the emotional memories that
are stored in their young age that will control their actions in their life. If their emotional
memories are stored with negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, and frustration it
will make the emotional center of the brain (amygdala) to give negative or inappropriate
emotions. But if the emotional memories are stored with emotions such as self-awareness,
self-motivation, and restraint. It will make the amygdala to give positive emotion.
Goleman also inform that there are study from the University of Vermont that there is a
decline in the emotional intelligence both reach and poor across the board. Also a discovery
about how the amygdala takes along time to mature, around fifteen to sixteen years.
In conclusion Emotional Intelligence need to be prepared from a young age with a lot of
positive emotional memories that will be stored and be use for the future. Furthermore
because the amygdala has a period of fifteen to sixteen years to mature, it shows that how
from a very young age to the age of sixteen are a very important period for any child and
need to be given more attention so that they will have a better emotional intelligence in the
future.
My personal remark to the article is how interesting about how the test works to determine
our emotional intelligence. It is interesting that a single marshmallow can determine the
effects that could happen to the children several years to the future.

1. Title of the Article: Wanted: Mars…Dead or Alive?
2. Author(s) : Geoffrey A. Landis

Are there life in Mars? Are we the only life forms in the galaxy? Those are just some of the
question that many people have thought about life in outer space and many scientist up till
now are still struggling to find the answer to those questions.
Adapted from ODYSSEY’S January 2001 issue:2001:a space odyssey, Wanted: Mars…
Dead or Alive? By Geoffrey A. Landis. Landis start the article by giving the first discovery of
Mariner 4 in 1965. The camera from Mariner 4 revealed that Mars have no sign of life and
have thin atmosphere and harsh condition, even though comparing Mars to the other planets
like Venus, Mars is more likely to have living organism.
Landis follows up with theory’s of how Mars has a potential to have an ocean or source of
water long ago. New photos of many features like riverbeds on the surface of Mars from the
robotic spacecraft that followed mariner and it’s later cousins backs up the theory. Further
discoveries were made from the Mars Global Surveyor, that Mars have a large low area that
could further support the theory of how mars could have had water in the past. The theory
continue to further explain that if Mars has water, than there are possibility of a living life
form in Mars. Landis explain that if life started when Mars’s atmosphere were thicker back
then resulting in a warmer climate there are possibility that the living things may adapt to the
change in environment to survive in the cold and dry condition of Mars today.
Landis further explain that because the theory of how the living things could have adapt to
the environment is unlikely because of the high level of difficulties to survive in the surface
of Mars. The life forms are more likely to be hidden in an underground water source
protected from the harsh surface of mars.
Landis ends the article stating that even though new discoveries and evidence of life forms is
still being search using rovers, some people thinks that the only way to answer the question
of whether life exist on mars can only be proven by an expedition into Mars itself.
My personal remark to this article is that it has a lot of scientific theories that are not easy to
understand but it is structure in an order that helps the reader understand the development of
the theory.
