[conciselearning]

Tony Buzan's Mind Map Legacy Tony Buzan (1942-2019), the inventor of Mind Maps, died last night but his mind map legacy lives on. He was a pioneer and a legend in the fileds of memory and education. He changed the lives of millions who now use mind mapping to improve memory and learning, academically and at work. Thank you Tony Buzan, we're saddened you're gone and grateful for your brilliance. #rip #tonybuzan https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPEEsbh6MV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ch1xmwexbp60

MAPAS MENTAIS

Desconstruindo o termo “Mapas Mentais” pode-nos ajudar a entender esta tão importante ferramenta que nos auxilia nos dias de hoje, seja para realizarmos pesquisas e perceber os procedimentos a seguir, como para o nosso dia a dia, tendo como objetivo atingir uma resposta através de vários “caminhos” que originarão o mapa.

A noção de mapas cerebrais é entendida, a meu ver, como um procedimento contrário à nossa vivência comum. Desde sempre nos educaram a fazer tal trabalho, como por exemplo : lavar os dentes. E nós limitávamo-nos a fazê-lo, pois a nossa experiência de vida era bastante reduzida.

No entanto, uma vez que estamos a falar de solucionar os nossos problemas, muitas das vezes, não se trata de apenas fazer, sendo mais complexo à medida que precisamos de uma melhor estruturação das nossas ideias para saber o que fazer de verdade . Trata-se da fragmentação do problema em “passos”, mas também de uma composição de “vias” para podermos, em maioria dos casos, termos a certeza da solução que pretendemos, pondo em jogo os nossos objetivos e perceber que caminhos temos que seguir.

Tony Buzan é responsável pela sistematização dos mapas mentais, sendo este uma das autoridades mundiais sobre aprendizagem, memória e uso do cérebro, escrevendo vários livros relacionados com o cérebro, "quociente de génio (GQ)", inteligência espiritual, memória, criatividade e leitura rápida.

O seu método chamado “Mind Mapping” consiste em :

1) O uso de um conceito central, que possa preferencialmente ser também representado por uma ilustração ou imagem;

2) A utilização da menor quantidade possível de palavras; restringindo-se, de preferência às palavras-chave (escritas na horizontal, para facilitar a leitura), símbolos, códigos ou ilustrações, todos ligados por linhas de vinculação de informações, de acordo com sua relação;

3) O uso de cores, realces, caixas de texto, setas, agrupamentos de informações, e mesmo espaços vazios, especialmente em áreas que possam receber posteriormente mais informações devido à sua importância;

4) O aproveitamento do espaço visual para estruturar melhor a compreensão das ideias e a sua importância, de modo que informações mais gerais estejam mais próximas do centro do mapa e os detalhes sejam apresentados à medida que caminhamos para a periferia dele.

“Si practica la toma de apuntes con eficacia, utilizando palabras clave, le sorprenderá ver cuánta más información puede caber en un espacio determinado.”- Tony Buzan ( Se praticares anotações de maneira eficaz, usando palavras-chave, ficarás surpreso ao ver quanta mais informação pode caber num determinado espaço)

“Gracias a los mapas mentales puedes convertir una larga y aburrida lista de información en un diagrama brillante, fácil de recordar y altamente organizado, tus pensamientos en sintonía con los procesos naturales de tu cerebro.”- Tony Buzan (Graças aos mapas mentais, podes transformar uma longa e chata lista de informações num diagrama brilhante, fácil de lembrar e altamente organizado, com os teus pensamentos sintonizados com os processos naturais do teu cérebro.”

Seguem-se abaixo alguns exemplos de mapas mentais que considero interessantes e, de uma excelente forma, ilustram a ideia acima referida:

Everyone is Unique on Their Own Way: on Speaking of Multiple Intelligences

“Leonardo da Vinci is regularly given as the best example of the ‘all around genius’; in other words, as the individual who has most dramatically demonstrated the use of all his intelligence. Leonardo’s genius was so great that some people rate him the greatest genius of all time in many of the individual intelligences too. He was almost entirely self-taught, and provides a tremendous example to us of just what someone can achieve with a determination to expand and develop all of his intelligences.

Contrary to many assumptions, Leonardo was not from a wealthy, well-to-do family, and his formal education was very basic. When he was a boy, he was apprenticed to a painter/sculptor, in whose workshop he learned his craft of drawing and painting.

Leonardo himself said that he became the ‘genius’ that he was because of the application of his brain to learning how it- and especially his sense – worked. Leonardo was astonishingly creative. He created immortal works of art, sculpture and countless other original ideas. In addition to his artistic skills, Leonardo was also an exceptionally accomplished musician. If you gave him any stringed musical instrument, even one that he had not seen before, he could very quickly ‘work it out’ and play both known and original music on it. Leonardo was known for exuding a deep self-confidence. He loved his own company, and cared for and looked after himself as only a best friend or lover would. He was also very skilled in social intelligence: he was the most popular guest at all the parties and social gatherings in Florence. He was masterful at playing the fool, could mesmerize audiences with his storytelling, and used his vast musical ability to entertain his fellow guests – spontaneously composing and playing songs while they stood amazed.

Leonardo’s fascination and love of nature and the natural, living world is well known. He considered nature to be a manifestation of God, and was exceptionally kind to animals. The story was often told how he would go into the marketplace, buy a cage of birds (they were sold either for their song or to be eaten), and in full view set all the birds free, watching with enchantment their flight and patterns as they soared ecstatically in their new found freedom. The assumption that someone cannot be both intelligent and strong is completely refuted by Leonardo. He was known for his extraordinary stamina and energy, and had a reputation as the strongest man in Florence. He was also incredibly attractive. The historian Vasari reported that Leonardo’s poise was so perfect, his movement so sublime, and his appearance so astonishingly beautiful, that people would line the streets of Florence simply to see him walk to his workshop. He was like a modern-day sex god.

Leonardo particularly developed his sensual intelligence (obviously very important to an artist), and he used to exhort those around him to develop all of their senses too. He developed his visual powers to such an extent that at times his observations bordered on the miraculous. It is reported that he was the first person to see, with his naked eye, the moons of the planet Jupiter, and in his Codex on the Flight of Birds, he recorded details which remained unconfirmed until the invention of photography 350 years later proved him to be right!

Numbers were a natural part of the harmony of the universe for Leonardo. He used number as a basic thinking tool for measuring and calculating in all his fields of activity – art, design, engineering and invention. Pouring forth from Leonardo’s unbelievably prolific mind were new designs for aqueducts, lock and dams for rivers; inventions for underwater craft and for flying machines; and hundreds of more genius engineering ideas that had been thought before. Because he had studied so many field of activity, Leonardo’s vocabulary was times greater than the average. Because of his massive imagination, he was able to combine the two to produce the most beautiful musings and descriptions. Many of his literary notes are portraits created not with paint but with words.  (Tony Buzan)

Speaking of what genius or intelligence means, I agree with what Tony Buzan describe through his book Head First: 10 Ways to Tap Into Your Genius that intelligence doesn’t merely the capability on numerical and verbal things, but it is far more than both.

We all get trapped by IQ or Intelligence Quotient, an invention by a French psychologist- Alfred Binet, who setting standard numerical and verbal test, with the scores measured against and average of 100.

 According to Tony Buzan, IQ Binet’s test was accepted without questions over 60 years, but by the 1970s the ideas of intelligence beginning to change.

Howard Gardner is a professor of Harvard University who refuted Alfred Binet’s theory. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence theory, as I know, told us that everyone has many intelligence in different parts: linguistic intelligence,spatial intelligence, naturalist intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, musical intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and (research still in progress) existential intelligence. Doing research from many field of studies, he believed that everyone has each kind of intelligence within them. But, how someone is excellent at one or more intelligence depends on himself. You can get further information on his official website howardgardner.com)

Therefore, there is a saying that “everybody is unique”. I agree, that everybody is unique on their own way. I, too, often doing research (I like observing people) about multiple intelligence in everyone that I meet. By understanding this theory, I started to be more carefully in judging people.

I have a friend who, if people see him from the cover (I say it because I know it from other people who told me so), let’s say, is a fool and rebel person. He rarely obeys the obligations, he rarely do tasks properly, he talks with loud voice (which they considered as crudeness). That is what other people see. But on my perspective, from the beginning I know him, he is not. I believe even when nobody in that place agree with me. I get knowing him, understanding his point of view about life, how he sees his life, what person he was, what person he wants to be, what is his background, and so forth. I was relieved! He is not as bad as they see. It is a prove to myself that people is like an iceberg: what we see on the surface is not the same as what is real. My conclusion is, those kind of people judge him from mainstream perspective about intelligence. It is right that he is not good enough at writing, reading, counting, or giving logical explanation about related topics. But, on my opinion, he has good potentials at intrapersonal, interpersonal, and musical things.

There is a friend who is, on my point of view, lack of interpersonal thing. She hates to be in a crowded place. She hates to work in groups, she hates to meet people she does not fit in, and the like. She tends to spend time all by herself, doing things she likes independently, and she even does not care about what other people might think about her. She already enjoyed with her own company. On my point of view, she is lack of interpersonal thing but she is excellent at interpersonal and spatial things (she is good at drawing).

There is a friend who loves linguistic things such as writing, reading, and the like but when it comes to play music instruments, she cannot play.

I believe that everyone is unique on their own way. Despite their own flaws and strength, they have different potential to develop. They have obstacles they try to attack. They have monster inside their heads that they are trying to domesticate. They have their own ways to show their loves to the universe. It is our tasks to peel back the great layers of them, to help them see the great things they have that once forgotten or unseen.
