I attended a free lecture by Tony Buzan, the father of mind mapping, last Saturday. Although it was just 2 hour, I absorbed many important things. I'm going to share some of the things I obtained from the lecture. The qualities to be a great leader:

1. Verbal intelligence include numerical, vocabulary, financial, etc.

2. Physical intelligence which means the leader has to be fit.

3. Personal intelligence referring to the ability to love oneself, if not you won't be able to like people and also emotional intelligence.

4. Social intelligence referring to the ability to socialise with people and animal!

5. Ethical/ spiritual referring to people tend to follow leaders that speak the truth.

6. Creativity to solve problems and create new products.

So how and what to maintain your intelligence?

Enrol long life learning lessons.

Redevelop your senses of intelligence: taste, listening, physical, etc.

Rest, relaxation and solitude

Friendship, affection and love

Diet; have proper diet; if you eat junk food, then you will have junk brain. HAHA!

I will blog more of Tony Buzan's teachings after I finished reading his Creativity Intelligence book.

Mm...I suppose not everyone possess all of the intelligence mentioned, equally. That person would be very unique and scarce.

I like books by Lisa Jane Smith (LJ Smith) too. Seems like you read a lot. That's good. Any good recommendations?
