Lesson 3 - Method of creative thinking.

The picture above is one of the example of mind map. As you can see from the picture, there is a diagram full with words, lines and pictures. Actually it help us to generate, visualize, structure, and classifieds our ideas. Teachers or lecturers are always asking their students to do mind map for the chapter of the book because mind map is a one of a method taking notes. We will easier recall back existing memories by looking the mind map we created.

This mean every words and pictures that inside the logical mind map is exactly related to the central subject that link to. However, associated mind map is using random word to link another word from central subject that do not related from the central subject.
