Mindmapping

So here I am again, talking about mind mapping and brainstorming. Now the difference between mind mapping and brainstorming is that mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea while brainstorming is a group creativity technique designed to generate a large number of ideas for the solution of a problem.


Mind mapping includes all the main points from the topic we're discussing. For example, my class did 'happy life.' What leads to a happy life?




 There can be many factors which we included for our mind map- money, health, family. These are just general factors which can be branched out into even smaller and more detailed points. Take money as an example. With money, we can buy most of the things we want in life and be happy. Be it ferrari, bungalow, prada bags or Louis Vuitton shoes. When we get what we want, no doubt we will be happy.

Of course there must also be other factors and not just wealth. Materialistic people who only needs money in their life will not be happy for their entire life, but only happy for a short period of time. Some things cannot be bought with money, that is, kinships, friendships and love.



















Therefore, mind mapping gives us a clearer mind of what 'happy life' means and we can better visualise the whole concept of what leads to a happy life. Most of the time when I am not sure of what to write in an essay, or what to present, mind mapping would be the best choice to start with. Mind mapping provides the main points for you to better elaborate on the general factor, hence, it will be good to do mind mapping before the start of doing anything.
