Mind map study session

One of my goals this year is to see as many people as possible outside my workplace.

To my delight, I had a chance to attend a MindMap study session in Osaka today.  

I was glad to see some of my friends after a long interval.  

Furthermore, it was really nice to get to know all the participants in the session.

Today's lecturer was one of my friends in the community which I belong to.  

She taught us how to draw a mind map.

"A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas."

Tony Buzan is the inventor of Mind Maps.  When he was studying on scientists or thinkers who were called as geniuses, he found that the notes they took had something in common.  

That is, they associated images and words with lines.

We drew mind maps of happiness, an analysis of our names, and the goal for 2012.  They were a lot of fun!

Her lecture was so interesting that I could enjoy thinking a lot, drawing pictures, and sharing my ideas with other participants.   

The very organized three-hour session stimulated my creative mind!

I am grateful that she held such a wonderful meeting for us.
