Wrap Up
Let’s Learn!
Feelings are really your GPS system for life. When you are supposed to do something, or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.
Oprah Winfrey
Your emotions add color to your life experiences. When appropriate emotion is
expressed, recognized, and managed; the message is made more apparent and adequately
communicated. How can your knowledge of the different emotions and the proper way of
handling them help you to further improve your relationships?
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
I. BASIC HUMAN EMOTIONS
Paul Ekman (1993) and Carroll Izard (1992), both well-known researchers on
emotion, considered the following as basic emotions: fear, anger, surprise, disgust, joy
or happiness, and sadness or distress. These emotions are found to be culturally
universal. This means that the emotions are recognized and similarly expressed in all
cultures.
This further explains the innate facial-affect program which activates a set of nerve
impulses to trigger muscle movements which represent the emotion being
experienced. For example, you smile to express happiness by moving the muscles
(zygomatic major) that raises the corners of your mouth. Also, another exciting concept
is the facial-feedback hypothesis. It explains why corresponding emotions are triggered
by the movement or activation of the muscles involved in certain facial expressions. For
example, you feel happiness if you smile.
Similar to a color wheel, Robert Plutchik (1980) presented the primary emotions
using an “emotion wheel.” The inner circle represents the eight primary emotions (joy,
acceptance, fear, surprise, sadnss, disgust, anger, and anticipation), which can
combine to form the mixed emotions, (love, submission, awe, disappointment,
remorse, contempt, aggressiveness, and optimism) listed outside the wheel. The wheel
implies that there are feelings that can be labeled in more than a single term.
Some people find it difficult to express their emotions openly as to how strongly
they feel. The model shows the range of primary emotions from its mildest to the most
ardent form. It represents the range of primary emotion from the lightest to its most
intense way (from gentle emotion such as boredom to intense feeling like loathing).
Sometimes, there is a failure in communicating emotion because people tend to
overrate or underrate the emotional experience. For example, if you say that you are
apprehensive when you are faced with a life-threatening situation, it would probably be
an understatement. However, some people overstate the strength of their feelings. For
example, if you say that you are so angry to the point of feeling rage when the barking
of the dogs annoys you, it might be an overstatement.
II. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
It is said that an emotionally intelligent person effectively combines the three
components of emotion (physical, cognitive, and behavioral). Emotional intelligence or
EQ, a concept popularized by Daniel Goleman in 1995, is the ability to recognize and
manage your emotions, understand others, and maintain a healthy relationship with
them. Goleman claims that high emotional intelligence contributes significantly to your
success in life and career. He also suggests that lack of emotional intelligence is one
of the factors contributing to the many problems in society.
Emotional Intelligence has four domains:
1. Perceiving Emotions is the ability to distinguish emotions in yourself and others;
be it in the form of facial expressions, the tone of voice, art, music, stories, among
others. If you have this ability, you are more likely to be empathic. You can relate well
to others and adjust well in any social situations. This further shows that your
emotions affect the cognitive processes.
2. Facilitating thought is the ability to generate, utilize and feel emotions to help you
communicate effectively and to apply emotions in other cognitive processes
(problem solving, decision making, reasoning, and producing creative outputs).
This ability shows that emotions can change the way you think. Indeed, your
thoughts and feelings affect each other. For example, happiness may encourage you
to believe that nothing is impossible, while sadness may generate more negative
thoughts.
3. Understanding Emotions is the ability to appreciate the meaning of the emotion.
This starts by labeling or identifying the emotions with appropriate words,
understanding the combination of the other expressed emotions, and
understanding its complexities. For example, the feeling of boredom may lead to
disgust, or a simple interest may eventually lead to irrational vigilance.
4. Managing Emotions (also known as emotional management or emotional
regulation) is the ability to be open to feelings and to modulate them in yourself and
others to promote personal understanding and growth.
Enhancing Emotional Intelligence or EQ
You can improve your emotional intelligence if:
• You can practice mindfulness in recognizing cultural and individual differences to
strengthen your emotional perception.
• You can use your emotions as a signal to caution you that something may not be
right.
• The knowledge and habits needed to enhance your understanding of emotions can
be strengthened by your interactions with other people.
• You use your emotions to promote personal understanding and growth.
III. THE 1:3 RATIO
There are life events (some, beyond our control) that trigger negative emotions.
Although there are a lot of benefits of positive emotions; negative emotions can still
have an impact on your life. It is recommended that for one negative emotion, you must
have at least three positive emotions to maintain the balance.
Negative emotions can help start a new behavior.
1. Negative emotions can make you more reflective and in touch with your
innermost being.
2. Negative emotions can make you more open to new learning.
3. Negative emotions can lead to an improved sense of social accountabilities
(empathy, care, and moral considerations).
IV. EXPRESSING EMOTIONS EFFECTIVELY
Many types of research support the importance of appropriate emotional
expressions. Expressive people are healthier than those who are not. Also,
unexpressive people are more likely to be sick (cancer, heart disease, or asthma).
However, overly expressive people have their blood pressure reaching unhealthy
reading. This only implies that learning to have a constructive expression of emotions
will lead to a healthy life.
Effective emotional expression improves relationships. At work and play,
constructive expression of emotions can lead to success in life and career. It also helps
workers feel better.
But all these are easier said than done. The following are suggestions as to when
and how to express your emotions.
1. Be in touch with your feelings. Recognition and proper identification of the emotions,
the physical manifestations, and the thoughts about the situation that triggered the
emotion will help you decide on the behavioral expression.
2. Increase emotional vocabularies. Proper identification of the emotion is critical so
as not to over rate or under rate the emotional experience.
3. Share the mixed emotions experience. This will give additional value to the message
and make it clearer and more accurate.
4. Evaluate the emotion if it needs to be shared, acted upon, or just let it be that way. Some emotional experiences are better not to be acted upon nor shared with anyone.
You need to be sensitive, empathic, and critical to assess the need for appropriate
emotional expression.
5. Use the “I” language. Showing accountability for your feelings are best expressed
using the “I” language. Instead of saying, “You are always hurting my feelings,” say,
“I feel hurt when you did that.”
6. Consider the right time and the right place for the emotional expression. You tend to
react to strong emotions. However, more often, it does not end positively, and the
result is not beneficial to both parties. It is best to wait and think of the most
appropriate emotional expression, and the best time when the recipient of the
message is prepared to listen to you. In that way, you become more objective, and it
reduces the chance of saying or doing things that you will regret later on.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
“But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
The quote above illustrates the weight of building relationships with others. It explains
that when you win another person’s trust and vulnerability, you must be cautious to
maintain those in your relationship. Relationships, whether with a relative or friend, take a
lot of work and involve emotions. Understanding the nature of relationships will help you
become a responsible individual in any circle you find yourself in.
I. RELATIONSHIPS IN ADOLESCENTS
A. Intimacy and Similarity in Friendship
Intimacy and similarity are two crucial keys to your friendships. Intimacy is
self-disclosure or sharing your private thoughts to another person. For you, a
person is considered a friend when they talk about personal thoughts, feelings, and
problems. Compare it to friendships among younger children; such self-disclosure
and mutual understanding are often absent. This makes your relationships crucial
as it involves emotions and vulnerability.
You discover that your concerns are common as you disclose your private
thoughts to your friends. You begin to realize that your friend can be just as
sensitive or trustworthy just like them.
Friendship among adolescent girls is more intimate than among adolescent
boys. This may be rooted in the assumption that girls are more relational than boys.
Other than that, there still exists a stereotype that boys who express their emotions
are “weak” or “wimps” and judged as unable to handle their problems. This view
needs to be challenged as boys should also be given a safe space to disclose their
thoughts and feelings.
The similarity in friendship is having the same interests, abilities,
background, organization, etc. At times, you determine who your friends are based
on your similarities in interests with another person. If a friend likes the things you
like, then you are most likely to do the same things they do, and you might as well do
them together.
School clubs, church groups, and organizations are some of the places
where you find friends. Similarities in the background such as coming from the
same hometown; having the same level of performance in academics; same
interests in hobbies like music or dance bring you together and form friendships
among other adolescents. Similarities in friendships give you a sense of belonging.
B. Dating and Relationships
These are some of the questions you ask
yourself whenever you consider dating someone else.
As peer groups form, some of you engage in dating.
Dating is a form of interaction with the intention of
getting to know another person better. Back then,
people dated with the intention of finding a mate and
marrying them.
According to Paul & White, people engage in
dating for different reasons such as the following:
II. THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES
What are some expressions of love and attraction?
Dr. Gary Chapman, a counselor, and expert in relationships, introduced the idea
that human beings have different expressions of love, yet these are categorized in five.
In his book, The Five Languages of Love, he enumerated that the five languages of love
are Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, Quality Time, and Physical Touch.
Everyone speaks the five love languages, yet there is one language that makes you
feel more loved when expressed to you. Dr. Chapman proposed that for relationships
to flourish, you must know the love language of the person you want to be with and
speak that.
WORDS OF AFFIRMATION
Expression of love and appreciation that involves the use of
words
• Saying “thank you,” “I am proud of you,” “I love you,” etc
• Writing letters and cards
GIFTS OR GIFT-GIVING
Expression of love by giving gifts
• Sending gifts
• Shopping for another person
• making tokens and items as gifts
•
ACTS OF SERVICE
Expression of love by serving
• Giving a helping hand in carrying or fixing things
• Volunteering to do the things for the other person
• Accompanying a person running errands
QUALITY TIME
Expression of love by giving time
• Hanging out with another person for a long time • Giving full attention with communication (no distractions)
• Talking on the phone for hours
PHYSICAL TOUCH
Expression of love with the use of the sense of touch
• Hugs, holding hands
• Patting back, giving massages
• Punching arm, pinching cheeks, etc

III. EXPRESSIONS OF ATTRACTION AND LOVE
A. Acceptable and Unacceptable Expressions
Acceptable and unacceptable expressions of attraction and love are
subjective. In some cases, what may be acceptable for one person may not be
acceptable to others.
The biblical quote “…whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if there is any
excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things,” may
help you differentiate what is acceptable and unacceptable. The sender of these
expressions may reflect and ask themselves the following:
Sender
• Do my actions communicate the truth?
• Do my actions honor the other person?
• Are my actions right and pure?
• Will others find my actions commendable?
As for the receiver of these expressions, they can ask themselves these
questions:
Receiver
• Do I feel comfortable with his/her actions?
• Do his/her actions show me I am worthy of respect?
• Does the other person respect my boundaries?
• Are my interpretations pure, right, and without bias?
You must be wary of touching behaviors. Any unwelcome touch on sensitive
or private areas such as ears, neck, inner thighs, sides, buttocks, chest, and genitals
should be unacceptable.
One easy way to gauge if an action that is done is acceptable or not, is to
determine if you feel comfortable with it. When emotional and personal boundaries
are violated, then the behavior is unacceptable. You should inform the other person
to stop the behavior. If the behavior persists, you must inform a trusted adult in
school, at home, or to the authorities.
B. Boundaries
Boundaries are essential in any relationship. A boundary is the limit you set
for another person’s actions or words given to you. It is like an invisible line that tells
others what they are allowed or not allowed to do in a relationship. Four aspects of
boundaries are material, physical, mental, and emotional.
Material boundaries determine how much you are willing to lend your
belongings, time, and services. Physical boundaries deal with your personal space.
Who can, when, and where a person can touch you fall under this boundary type as
well as your sexual boundaries. Beliefs, values, opinions, and thoughts are under
mental boundaries. Lastly, feelings and personal choices fall under emotional
boundaries.
All aspects should be respected. A way to measure personal boundaries is
to reflect on what upsets you when a line is crossed. A person who communicates
his/her boundaries should be respected. In the same way, that person is expected
to respect other people’s boundaries.
There are aspects of boundaries that do not have to be communicated to be
respected. Such boundaries are touching private and sensitive parts. Yelling
angrily, picking on, forcing someone to make decisions against his/her will are
examples of crossing the emotional boundaries of a person.
IV. SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENS
Sean Covey summarized the habits you must possess to have a healthy life. It
provides an idea of the dynamic of relationships and how you can take responsibility in
building a healthy community.
In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, he adapted the Habits of Highly
Effective People which his father introduced, and made examples where you can relate
with. These seven habits are divided into two sections namely: Personal Bank Account
and Relationship Bank Account.
Sean Covey summarized the habits you must possess to have a healthy life. It
provides an idea of the dynamic of relationships and how you can take responsibility in
building a healthy community.
In his book, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, he adapted the Habits of Highly
Effective People which his father introduced and made examples where you can relate with.
These seven habits are divided into two sections namely: Personal Bank Account and
Relationship Bank Account.
Bank accounts are where you deposit money for safekeeping and making it grow. By
the time you will need money for an expense, you withdraw the amount you need and spend
it. Covey says that you have a Personal Bank Account. It speaks of your trust and
confidence in yourself. What you say, think of, or do are the deposits and withdrawals in
the account. Deposits are things that give you a sense of accomplishment such as keeping
promises to self, doing acts of kindness to self, being gentle with self, being honest,
renewing self, and magnifying talents. On the other hand, withdrawals are breaking
personal promises to self, keeping to self, beating yourself up, lying, wearing self out, and
burying talents. A healthy personal bank account has more deposits than withdrawals.
Relationship Bank Account talks about your trust and confidence in your
relationships. You have a relationship bank account with every person you encounter.
Deposits in the relationship bank account entail doing things to other people that will
improve your relationship with them, while withdrawals involve doing things that may
weaken your relationship with them. Examples of relationship bank account deposits are
keeping promises, doing acts of kindness, being loyal, listening, saying sorry, and setting
clear expectations to others, while relationship bank account withdrawals are breaking
promises to others, keeping to yourself, gossiping, and breaking confidences, talking too
much, being arrogant, and setting false expectations for others.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens are the following:
1. Be Proactive
Proactive means controlling or taking charge of a situation, whether it was
pleasant or unpleasant. The counterpart of proactive is reactive. Reactive means
acting towards a situation on impulse. Between being proactive and reactive, the
former is always the best option to choose especially in relationships. When things
do not go well, you can pause and assess the situation before taking any action. By
doing that, you can come up with a way to respond right.
2. Begin with the End in Mind
Beginning with the end in mind means imagining the future and taking the
necessary steps to achieve that. When you know what you want in the future, you
will also be able to avoid habits that will get in the way. The end does not have to be
in the far future—it can simply mean what you want to achieve as a student, son or
daughter, sibling, and friend. If you wish to graduate on time, then you must get rid
of habits that will cause distraction and delay to be able to focus more on your
studies.
According to Covey, “You are free to choose your paths, but you can’t choose
the consequences that come with them.” You must keep that in mind when it comes
to sex and relationships. Sex can potentially lead to unwanted pregnancies, getting
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), being kicked out of school, shame, and
damaged reputation, etc.
3. Put First Things First
What you value determines the decisions you will make. Identifying your values
is the key to making future decisions easier. You should know what is important and
what is urgent to be able to withstand distractions or pressures that may come along
the way.
You can face so many conflicts in a day such as pressure at home, school, and
friends. Listing down what is important and urgent can help you find out which
activity or event to accomplish first. This also goes in relationships. You, who value
yourself will not easily give in to peer pressure. Being able to say no to unwanted
offers like hanging out without the permission of the parents, smoking, or drinking
is a deposit to your bank account.
4. Think Win-win
Win-win means both people in any relationship are benefitting from an
agreement. If it is win-win, there is also win-lose, lose-win, and lose-lose.
Win-lose means you are benefitting while the other person suffers. It is rooted
in pride because it only shows your concern to yourself and not to the other person.
Lose-win is giving up your benefit to make the other person win. This is a form
of withdrawal from your bank account as it seeks to please another person. This
should not be mistaken for giving up your desire to watch a movie so you and your
friends can go to the arcade instead. Compromises like that happen. A lose-win
situation happens when someone succumbs to peer pressure to make a friend
happy.
Lose-lose means when two people who are not willing to adjust for one another
go together.
There will always be differences in any relationship. Wants should be
communicated with the intention of adjusting to a person and meeting halfway.
Pause for a thought…
Which is more important for you, your right to be right
or to make the relationship right?
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Everyone has reasons why they behave a certain way. Family background, past
experiences, current struggles, hormones, financial status, and stress are some of
the factors that contribute to people’s behaviors and responses.
There are habits and attitudes that others may find irritating or offensive. Before
getting angry at a person for a reason, you can first try to empathize with him/her.
Empathy is “putting yourself in one’s shoes” and trying to understand what shaped
the other person’s outlook and behavior given his/her circumstances.
Seeking first to understand is letting go of your pride and showing care. A
person will only open their true feelings when they are in a safe
environment/relationship. Listening intently and attentively is one way to create that
safe space. Criticizing another person, giving judgments, showing disapproving
gestures and facial expressions, and spreading around secrets will bring damage to
the relationship.
Giving feedback and expressing your feelings after listening to another person
is a way to seek to be understood. It gives the other person a chance to see where
you are coming from and why you also behaved a certain way during a
misunderstanding.
6. Synergize
Covey summarized synergy into these four items: celebrating differences,
teamwork, open-mindedness, and finding new and better ways. To synergize is to
work together in a team, applying the previous habit mentioned. It acknowledges
that cooperation can produce better results than doing things alone. Having a
mindset like this in a group or one-on-one settings can create better relationships.
7. Sharpen the Saw
This habit is about self-care. You must take care of your body, mind, heart, and
soul. A healthy body is achieved when you eat the right kinds of food, exercise, and
sleep well. Reading, learning a new skill, and creating are some ways of keeping the
mind healthy. Since humans are relational beings, it is important to love yourself
and build relationships with others to have a healthy, figurative heart. You don’t just
feed your body, mind, and relational banks, you also need to feed your souls by
praying, meditating, and writing in a journal.
Taking care of yourself is a responsibility. A person with a sound body, mind,
heart, and soul can see things, respond better to situations, and build healthy
relationships.

Begin with the End in Mind -Ella promised herself that she would be the best marathoner in her school. She avoids her classmates who influence her to smoke and drink. She knows that it will damage her health and distract her from becoming a great athlete.
Put First Things First -Politely tell your friend that you cannot come to her house party because you still have to finish your homework. Your studies are more important than partying.
-Helping a friend who got into an accident first even if your plan was to watch a concert in school. Your friend is more important than a concert.
Relationship Bank Accounts
Think Win-Win -Two friends wanted to meet, but they live far apart. One wanted to meet near her house, so did the other. Instead of fighting over it, they agreed to meet halfway.
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
-Patty is a little stubborn and aggressive in expressing her political opinion. It irritates her friends. Keith decided to ask Patty the reasons behind her political stand. Patty explained that her father was shot by a political party. Keith understood that he would feel the same way if it happened to her. She empathized with Patty yet respectfully tell her to consider other people who may find her expressions offensive.
Synergize -A Muslim, a Christian, and a Lumad were all grouped in a class activity. They were asked to write a short story about families. They listened to each other’s family background and culture. They appreciated learning their differences. And they worked together in making a story that will respect every culture represented in their group.
Sharpen the Saw -Jane is the head of the events in school. She hasn't slept in days, and her busyness made her cranky and unapproachable. She then realized that she is burnt out and no longer kind to others. Jane deliberately took a break to reset her body, mind, heart, and soul. She ate, slept, meditated, and spent time with her loved ones.

SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
I. SOCIAL STRUCTURE, COMMUNITY, AND SOCIETY
You are a member of different social structures. The term social structure is described
as the social model or pattern by which the society is organized. The pattern can be
horizontal or vertical. The horizontal structure refers to the relationships among social
groups as well as the physical and social attributes of communities where you belong. The
vertical structure (also known as social inequality) is the ranking of people or groups of
people in a hierarchy. The roles of each member are defined by the status that they hold.
You have a status. Thus, you carry a specific set of behaviors (roles) that are expected to
be shown.
The community is often defined as a set of people with different characteristics, sharing
ties, similar views, and participating in joint deeds in geographical settings or locations.
Society is defined by sociologists as the people interacting to share a common or
general culture. These two definitions feature a very significant component which is the
sharing of people whether it is in the form of participating in activities or the traditions and
practices of a culture.
II. LEADERSHIP AND FOLLOWERSHIP
Leadership can be defined as the guidance of other people in their pursuits which is
often done by organizing, coordinating, directing, supporting, and motivating the others.
It is one’s ability to lead other people.
Leadership is made up of processes where you
cooperate to influence and motivate the other members with
the goal of attaining goals. These processes are:
• Reciprocal. It involves the leader, the members or
followers, and the situation of the group. In this
process, the leader’s responsibility is not just
influencing the group; rather, the leader-follower
relationship is considered as mutual. In an
interactional perspective, leadership is not separated
from followership (the qualities and skills that are
shown by non-leaders). Both are related to each
other.
• Transactional. This perspective shows that the leaders and members work
together. They exchange efforts, time, and their skills to achieve joint rewards.
• Transformational. Leaders increase the motivation, satisfaction, and confidence
of the group. This is done through the act of uniting the members and modifying
their values, needs, and beliefs.
• Cooperative. This is a process that promotes legitimate influence instead of the use
of power. Leadership is voluntarily given to a person by some or all of the members.
When it is done, it is expected that the leader is influenced by the collective needs of
the group instead of his/her interest.
• Adaptive and goal-seeking. Leaders organize and motivate the attempts of the
members to achieve both the personal and group goals.
A. The Leader and the Follower
Leadership skills can either be inborn or developed. A person may have great
potentials, but without opportunities that would provide ways to harness these
potentials, they wither.
On the other hand, a person who seems to have no leadership skills may suddenly
bloom due to experience, training, or simply the possibility that they did not have
previous knowledge of their leadership skills.
Followers are not mere tools. They are people with cognitive abilities, emotions, and
behaviors. It is always a challenge for every leader to think of ways on how to influence
the members. Let us describe what followership means. Followership is the act of
working with a leader and the members of a group in an effective manner.
Based on this definition, both the leader and the member must work together. It is a
two-way process. Effective leadership is not just based on the leader but also on the
level of cooperation given by the followers.
III. PERSUASION: HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING INFLUENCED
Influencing other people can be a difficult thing to achieve. But how does it happen
anyway? The communication-persuasion paradigm is an assumption that attempts to
explain how people influence each other (Delena et al., 2017).
“Who says what to whom with what effect?” This is the question that serves to
summarize what this model is all about. It takes into consideration these elements:
• The source or where the message came from.
• The message.
• The receiver or target of the message.
• The impact of the message.
These elements affect how the message is understood and accepted by the receiver

Based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Persuasion, persuasion can be done by
using either of these techniques:
• The central route is the presentation of facts.
• The peripheral route is the presentation of cues that are not entirely related to the
object or topic.
The roles of society members make a difference in creating a community that meets the
needs of its members. These roles are based on their status which can be inherited or
acquired. The people in a community are bound by rules that are created and implemented
by the leaders. Great leaders do not rely on power alone to implement their policies. They
have characteristics that help in uplifting the motivation and self-worth of their members.
Persuasion can be done in two ways, the central route which makes use of facts to
convince people and the peripheral route which deals with aspects that are not related to
the topic or subject but can influence the acceptance or rejection of people. A great leader
is skillful in the use of both methods. Effective use brings the possibility of influencing a
great number of people.
IV. PROCESSES THAT AFFECT PERSON PERCEPTION
Person perception is a combination of several processes. Their combination leads to
the creation of ideas and images regarding a person.
Model/Concept Description Examples
Stereotyping The tendency to associate
the traits and
characteristics of a person
based on his/her
demographic information
like religion, age, gender,
nationality, etc.
Mitch is often regarded as a
liberated and aggressive
girl since she came from
the city.
Context Effects This is the possible and
actual effect of the
person’s environment on
your judgment about this
person or an object.
Your perception of a
certain person will be
different if you saw this
person in two different
situations. For instance,
Maya thinks that Gal likes
fancy and expensive things,
but this changed when she
saw Gal buying products in
Divisoria.
Implicit Personality
Theories (IPT)
These assumptions focus
on the tendency of people
to form a conclusion about
the person based on one
personality trait.
Being a comedian, people
often think that Vic Sotto is
outgoing. They fail to
attach other qualities to
him like being family-
oriented or an astute
businessman.
