The difference between being smart and being wise often lies in emotional intelligence - Dr Daniel Goleman
At its core, this quote means that raw intelligence (being smart) isn't enough for a successful life. True wisdom comes from understanding and managing emotions, both your own and those of the people around you.

Our emotions have a mind of their own, one which can hold views quite independently of our rational mind - Dr Daniel Goleman
It means your feelings aren't just a messy byproduct of your thoughts. They are a separate, powerful, and often primitive processing system that can arrive at conclusions , and drive actions , all on its own, completely bypassing your logical brain.
