Comparison and Contrast Paragraph

What are the different ways in which intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence contribute to the development of an undergraduate?


Both intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence are important for the development of an undergraduate, but in different ways. Intellectual intelligence is about the success of a student in academics. Intellectuals maintain focus on a particular task and work towards its success. They continuously meet and exceed academic goals. Students with only intellectual intelligence are cornered in the student society. They keep getting A grades for modules but rarely go along well with friends. These kinds of people, without a decent level of emotional intelligence, are a burden to the workplace once they start working. They don’t know how to interact and communicate with the society, understand everyone’s needs and have empathy over them. So they are considered as failures in life. For example, Mozart was a world famous fine musician but a failure in every other aspect of life! So, students need to constantly think and remind themselves about how both intellectual and emotional intelligence can develop them. In some cases, students aren’t able to perform well in studies however much talented they are because all they are doing is battling emotions inside. It’s also worth to realize that some students who aren’t very bright in studies do well in life because of their amazing emotional intelligence. Therefore, both intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence are important in different ways for the development of an undergraduate student.

Your pharagraph is very clear, the only thing which confused me is this "In some cases, students aren’t able to perform well in studies however much talented they are because all they are doing is battling emotions inside."? I don't really get what you are trying to express here.
