EI is more important than IQ
Philippians 2:4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
EI or Emotional Intelligence has been around forever. Do any of you remember the part of your report card that said, "plays well with others?" Well, that's EI. How you get along with people is more important than your IQ.
Years ago I knew someone who was the best at what he did. Problem was, no one could work with him. He didn't like people and they were gracious enough to return the favor.

Vision is more important than goals.
Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

He couldn't answer the question because he didn't understand the big picture. Don't get bogged down in the details so much that you miss the big picture.
PRAY: Dear Jesus, help me to care about others more than myself, help me to include the people who surround me, help me to see Your big picture and set Your goals. AMEN
