Mind Map®

I have been involved with knowledge management technology that draws its underlying concept on mind map for many years. However, only recently I got interested with mind mapping the original way after attending a training. I'm good at writing notes... or so I thought. They are full with sentences and lists. Even after trying mind map, sometimes I tend to put a phrase on my mind map branches. It took a lot of practice to change that habit. I still have to tell myself to use keywords only. Below is my summary of Chapter 10: The Guiding Principles from The Mind Map® Book and Division Four: Synthesis of the same book using mind map.

Division Four: Synthesis from The Mind Map® Book
I find mind mapping to be therapeutic. It focuses the mind especially if I want a beautiful mind map, and I do love drawing. It makes revision easy. I have read many books in the past but I can't remember most of the contents. I'm going to go through my old books and start mind mapping :) I can't vouch for its effectiveness during examination though because I mind map for personal revision purpose and not to study for exams.

Who Moved My Cheese

I have read this book aeons ago. Recently I stumbled upon the summary I created immediately after reading the book. I remembered when I was reading it, the feeling was like reading a bedtime story but with many powerful lessons in it. I got so excited to create a summary so I can share it with as many people as I can... to those who have read the book and also those who have not... you might want to read more of it after going through my summary.

There are many individuals who felt like the moment they join an organization, that's where they will retire. I feel lucky I never have such notion. I'll be loyal to an organization as long as there's opportunity to learn and grow. If there's none worth staying for, I owe it to myself to find one that satisfies my learning desire and move on. I can also create my own organization but not so soon :)

Of course the cheese meant in the book might refer to a different position or different department instead of a different organization. It depends on how you want to interpret it and what's best for you.
