Intrapersonal intelligence means communicating within yourself. It means being able to talk to talk to yourself and control your emotions. For example, when someone is angry and he said to himself, "count to ten before you speak" that person is exercising intrapersonal intelligence. We can actually say he speaks to himself before he opens his mouth and let's his emotion speaks (matured mind).

Emotional intelligence does not mean being void of emotions. Emotional intelligence means you know it is okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge. Additions are often caused by a lack of emotional intelligence. When frustrated, angry, or fearful, a person may eat, drink, have sex, or do drugs to numb the emotional pain.

Emotional intelligence is often equated with "successful mind" because successful people  are successful at managing their emotions, especially in stressful situations.
People with high emotional intelligence could be seen as; 

__She is cool under pressure 
She achieve her goals
He controls his temper 
He can see both sides
He quit quilt smoking five years ago
He will be truthful, even if it's looks bad
She keeps her promises
He's persistent and disciplined
She doesn't make excuses 
He admits to his mistakes.__
