FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

SHALL WE PLAY A VOCABULARY GAME?

Can you now take the fantasy word "F A B U D E L I C I O U S" and use the different letters within it to make lots of different words?

How many can you come up with?

Here are the rules of the game:

- Only words of four or more letters to be used;
- No plurals allowed;
- Only the letters within the word can be used;
- You cannot use the same letter twice unless it is already a part of the word (i.e. the letters "I" & "U");


Try to make words using all the eleven different letters in this thirteen-letter word:

F

A

B

U

D

E

L

I

C

I

O

U

S


Here is a quick sample from Dilip Mukerjea:

Fun-filled;

Artistic;

Beautiful;

Unique;

Dimensional;

Exaggerated;

Lively;

Imagistic;

Colourful;

Outrageous;

Ultra-special;

Symbolic;

By the way, when you are drawing a mind-map, please make each of your maps a little more...
