A few weeks ago, I picked up the book, The Power of Creative Intelligence by Tony Buzan in the library. I've found it very inspiring. At one point, there's a 'workout' where you have to create a mind map based on FUN. You should write down the first 10 words that come to your mind, then write 5 more words to each main word that pop into your mind in relation to that 'concept'. Later, the author suggests that you use images in your mind maps, because they are much more powerful, than simple words.

Since I really enjoyed this little 'workout' - that's the author's concept - and thought that it would inspire a lot of people, I'll share with you my imperfect version. (I say imperfect, because my mind got stuck in a rut at certain places.)
And, you should definitely read the book. It gives you wings far greater than Red Bull ever could.
Click on the words to see the images I've picked for each. (And Pinterest is even a better friend than Google.)
