Conclusion
4. The Mind Unknown Potential
• The human brain can store more information than all
libraries in the world.
• We store every thing (unlimited capacity).
• Problem with recall (retrieval key is lost, lack of
association).
• Input Processing/Storing Output.
• Pattern recognition is the power of the brain
• Creativity, make new connections that no one can
made. It is exponential interaction between both sides
of brain.

6. Prof. Tony Buzan
The developer of Mind Maps...
• Born in London 1942.
• Graduated from the University of British
Columbia in 1964.
• Studied psychology, neuro-physiology, and
general sciences.
•Published over twenty books about the human
brain, creativity and learning.
• In 1971, Had a note taking problem.
1-humans were born with a brain billions of times
more powerful than computers - but without a
manual.
2-Spent 1000-10000 hrs. formal learning
3-Less than 10 hrs. creative learning.
7. What is Mind Map?
A Mind Map is an expression of Radiant Thinking
and therefore a natural function of the human mind.
It is a powerful graphic technique used to represent
words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and
arranged radiantly around a central key word or
idea.
8. Why? How?
• Why? Our brains work best when we allow ideas to
flow freely before attempting to organize them.
• How? Use Radiant Thinking and Both Sides of
Your Brain.

11. William Shakespeare
Very Little is officially known about Shakespeare; but scholars have pieced together a
reasonably comprehensive picture of his life from his marriage to Anne Hathaway in
1582 to his Christenings of his 3 children. And most reputable critics ascribe to him the
authorship of the major portion of thirty eight of the world’s most respected plays
several excellent poems, and some 154 sonnets.
William achieved success largely on his own. He apparently never attended college.
Successive purchases and sales of agricultural products and parcels of land near
Stratford must have provided Shakespeare with greatly increased capital, which, when
reinvested paid him steady income for many years. This gave him the freedom and
time to concentrate on his first loves: acting and writing. In 1594-1595.
William performed before Queen Elizabeth and his name became widely recognized.
Shakespeare grew in public stature when he became one of the owners of London’s
Globe Theatre in 1599. For Study, Shakespeare’s works can be divided into six
separate, somewhat chronological sections; Early works, Major Histories, The problem
plays , Tragedies, The Roman Plays, and The Late Romances. His comedies seem to be
interspersed throughout these divisions.
