Emotion, Decision making, and Emotional Intelligence

With a True Incident, 

        Emotions are experiences like anger,fear,happiness,sadness...

Could you explain those terms? 

Could you even explain how to measure emotions? Probably you could not.

         Emotions are hard to define except by showing examples, and the examples will not mean anything to someone who doesn't experience emotions. 

         Emotions  usually do not interfere decision making. In fact, the capacity to feel emotion may even be necessary for good decisions.

           
A true story which I read at Quora

A seventeen year boy, Android Developer shares his emotions like this ,
               My parents don't know that I sleep after 3.30a.m. (They always scold me for waking up too late). I know how to speak and write 6 languages. I know 5 programming languages. I am an intern at 3 different companies. I have made 10 - 15 lakhs INR selling apps. I was a naughty kid. I have a bank balance of over 26 lakhs INR. Haven't spent a dime on myself saving it for my three year old sister's future.(I love her more than anything in this world}. I hate aunties or any other relative who wants to know everything about my life. I love my parents a lot but haven't been able to express it. 

In this case what we understood? Can we conclude that parents are not understanding child?or they are not much attentive? follower? No care and love?
NO ...
Actually there are mistakes on the Parenting Perspective also.

  1. Firstly, they must learn to understand and read their child's emotions.
  2. Secondly , they must regularly follow their Children and take part in their child's emotions regularly. So the Parents' here have miserably failed in these aspects.
But , atleast they were concerned about why their Son wakes up late, but failed to figure out the reason. What an irony...

 Good decisions make people happy and evil causes unhappiness. People who have weak emotions will have trouble in making decisions.
