Let us compare your brain and knowledge in it to a library.: 

Let us compare your brain and knowledge in it to a library.

Imagine that: 

Imagine that Imagine that your brain is a newly built & empty library waiting to be filled with data & information in the form of books, videos, films, CDs and computer discs. -You are the chief librarian and have to choose first whether you wish to have a small or large selection. You naturally choose large selection. -Your second choice is whether to have information organized or not. -Imagine that you take the second choice, not to have it organized.

Imagine that….. cont’d: 

Imagine that….. cont’d -Then you have all of your books piled in a giant heap of information in the middle of your library floor; when somebody comes into your library and asks for a specific book or place where they can find information on specific topic, you shrug your shoulders and say: its somewhere there in the pile, hope you find it – good luck!!!! -This metaphor describes the state of most people’s minds. Their minds, even though they may contain the information they want, are so horribly disorganized that it is impossible for them to retrieve information when they need it.

Imagine that….. cont’d: 

Imagine that….. cont’d This lead to frustration and a reluctance to take in or handle new information. After all, what is the point of taking in new information, if you are never going to be able to access that stuff anywhere.

Mind maps: 

Mind maps -Mind maps are that phenomenal data retrieval and access system for the gigantic library that actually exists in your amazing brain. -Mind maps help you to learn, organize, and store as much information as you want, and to classify it in natural ways that gives you easy and instant access( perfect memory ) to whatever you want.

Mind maps cont’d: 

Mind maps cont’d -Mind maps have an additional strength. You would think that the more information you put into your head, the more stuffed your head will become and the more difficult it would be to get any information out. Mind maps turn this thought on its head. wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy

2-Making a mind map: 

2-Making a mind map Discovering your natural mind mapping ability. -How does a mind map work? in the same way your brain works. -so, What are the keys to your brain’s functioning? Quite simply: Imagination & association doubt ……. try the game

Ready for the game: 

Ready for the game

The game: 

The game -Read the word in capital letters below and immediately close your eyes and keep them closed for about 30 seconds and think about it. (fruit) -When you read the word and then closed your eyes, Was all that popped into your mind a little computer printout of the word: f-r-u-i-t ???? -Of course not ! what your brain probably generated was an image of your favorite single fruit, or a bowl of fruit, or a fruit store, and so on. .

Slide24: 

-You probably also saw the colors of different fruits, connected the tastes to appropriate fruits, and similarly ‘experienced’ their aromas. -This is because your brain works with sensory images with appropriate links and associations radiating from them. -Our brains use words to trigger these images and associations. -They produce 3-D pictures with numerous associations that are especially personal to us.

Seven steps to making a mind map: 

Seven steps to making a mind map 1-Start in the centre of a blank page turned sideways. Why Because starting in the centre gives your brain freedom to speed out in all directions and to express itself more freely and naturally 2-Use an IMAGES or PICTURES for your central idea. Why Because an image is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. A central image is more interesting, keeps you focused, helps you concentrate, and gives your brain more of a buzz 3-Use COLORS throughout. Why Because colors are exciting to your brain as are images. Colors adds extra vibrancy and life to your mind map, adds tremendous energy to your Creative Thinking and is a fun.

Why Because having nothing but straight lines is boring to your brain. Curved, organic branches, like the branched of a tree, are far more attractive and riveting to your eye.

Seven steps to making a mind map cont’d 6-Use only key words PER LINE. Why -Because single words give your MIND MAP more power and flexibility. -Each word or image is like a multiplier, generating its own especial array of associations and connections. When you use single key word, each one is freer and therefore better able to spark off new ideas and new thoughts. -Phases or sentences tend to damped this triggering effect. A mind map with more key words in it is like a hand with all the finger joints working. A MIND MAP phrases or sentences is like a hand with all your fingers held in rigid splints.

Seven steps to making a mind map cont’d 7-Use IMAGES throughout. Why Because each image, like the central image, is also worth a thousand words. So if you have only 10 images in your mind map, it’s already the equal of 10,000 words of notes.

Creating your first mind map: 

Creating your first mind map LEVEL:1 Take a sheet of paper & some colored pens. Turn the paper on its side (landscape). In the centre draw an IMAGE that sums up ‘fruit’ for you LEVEL:2 Draw some thick branches radiating from the central ‘fruit’ image. On each branch, print clearly and in large capital letters the first 5 key words that pop into your mind when you think of the concept ‘fruit’. Add images and pictures from your imagination and continue. LEVEL:3 Now let’s use associations to expand this MIND MAP on to its next stage. Retuning to tour mind map, take a look at the five key words you have written down on each main branch. Do these key words spark off further ideas. ‘for example: if say you had written the word “orange” you might think of colors, vitamin C and mobinil.

4-Making the most of your creativity with mind maps: 

4-Making the most of your creativity with mind maps -Unleashing your amazing creative power with mind maps. Do you feel that you are creative? Mind maps allow you to develop more and more branches radiating from the centre and also sub branches for the main branches representing new ideas, so if you continued radiating branches you will have an infinite number of new ideas.

Slide39: 

-This infinite creative capacity is your own wealth that you can invest in. - Then you can go back, using your mighty association power (after generating many creative ideas) and look for links and connections that will generate new super ideas that will solve your problems, help you make decisions , and help you come up with those new inventions that make you your fortune.

Linear note-taking and its problems.: 

Linear note-taking and its problems. -The way we have learnt to take notes is monotonous. -Mono-color notes.

The problem itself : 

The problem itself -If you are like 99.9% of the world’s population, you will have been taught, as I was, to make notes that use words, lines, numbers, logic, and sequence. -This method is pretty powerful tools but they are not complete set. They represent your brain’s ‘left-brain’ skills. -They don’t include any of your ‘right-brain’ skills which enable us to comprehend rhythm, color, and space, and to daydream. In such way you are using 50% of your brain’s mighty tool-capacity. -Now think with me: what if I asked you to run 100 meters so that we could check your running efficiency, giving you two trails, one you are allowed to use 100% of your body and the second I allow you 50 % of your physical apparatus by tying your right foot up behind your back to your right hand.

The world wide web in your head and its creative power: 

The world wide web in your head and its creative power In fact, your brain has its own internal World Wide Web!, except that your brain has many advantages: -it has far superior equipment. -it is much faster at accessing information. -it can generate its own information much more rapidly and expansively. -it contain many more patterns of thoughts –if you compared the total networks of the World Wide Web with the potential pattern inside your single brain, it would be like comparing a garden pea to a plant ! Mind maps reflect this internal web, acting as a link between your personal universe and the outside universe.

The greatest creative geniuses and note-taking.: 

The greatest creative geniuses and note-taking. Einstein had learnt us that : Imagination is more important than Knowledge

Mind mapping our future: 

Mind mapping our future You can control your future ! doubt …… let’s see how??? First: to prepare your brain to do this mind map, create quick speed mind map on everything you don’t want in your ideal future. Then: imagine that you have limitless time, resources and energy and that you can do anything you wish and create you ideal future mind map (using you mind mapping tools ). Finally: create mini-mind map for an ideal day in your future. Using a clock as a central image, mind map all the major elements of that perfect day. After you have completed that mind map, make that perfect day every day of your real life.

Mind mapping our future cont’d: 

Mind mapping our future cont’d -This ideal future mind map should include all those things you have dreamed, at any stage in your life, of doing. -Some of the common dreams include travel, learning new language, drawing, exploring new subjects and taking up new mental and physical sports and activities. -Suggested topics for your main branches include skills, education, friends, family, job, hobbies, and goals. -Mind map the rest of your life exactly as if a genie from magic lamp had said to you that if you MIND MAPPED perfectly and extensively your ideal future, that genie would grant you every single wish!!!!!!!
