4. Tony Buzan was
born in London
(1942)
is an author and
educational
consultant.
And he was the
one who
discovered the
revolutionary
system
of Mind Mapping.
Home
5. Buzan depended on an
ancient Greek way in
associating thoughts or
information.
It gives the brain the
ability to deal with new
information with high
speed, and in the same
way it deals with
thoughts inside it.
Tony Buzan was
struggling with
remembering things and
organizing his own ideas.
So he used the Mind
Map as the ideal tool for
that.

28. Remember
Do not stick to one way of making your mind map, you can make it however you like,
But you’ll have to remember that your ideas have to be connected and associated.
if you were making a report plan, and you just remembered that you have to wash the
dishes,
Just draw a branch on your mind map and write “dishes” so that you can concentrate on you
plan
when you are out of ideas, just don’t panic, relax and draw some random shapes,
Or change the color, it refreshes your mind.
now you are brain storming your ideas, and suddenly you think of a something but you don’t
know under what category you should put it, don’t bother your self of reorganizing your
plan, you can do it later, you can just write it down anywhere , even as a main point
Coming out from the center.
Human brains are so different, even between siblings and family members,
that’s why there are different mind maps for same subjects..
And that’s what makes it creative and unique
Draw curved lines and branches, because nature is curved and it reflects the
way your brain thinks, and if you draw straight lines the plan will lose the
beautify of curvilinear , and soon the brain will get bored and unhappy with it.
By doing this you will see that you got the perfect plan, and by practicing it for
a month you will notice that you are more productive,
fast thinking and creative.

35. Tony Buzan’s comparing between three writing and note taking ways:
-Texts and paragraphs
-Numbers and bullets ( a list)-
Writing notes on the sides of the page-
don’t they work ?
Why They don’t focus on the key words (the main points)
difficulty in remembering :
In texts there is no associations between words, and when there’s no association, there's no ,
connection so the information is gone.
Specially for people like school students, who study long and boring text, and complicated graphs
And when they get bored, they don’t study, therefore, they don’t remember
95% of learners write their notes in the traditional boring way
Conclusion :
Less concentration
less confidence in brain abilities
Less thinking, producing and creating
Losing the passion of learning and curiosity that usually is in children
Struggling from boredom and depression which leads to sleep and less producing
