Lately I’ve been reading many books on how people perceive their information and their environment. You and I can find a great deal of wisdom in a perhaps surprising book. I will not yet ‘reveal’ the title of the book. That’s something or later.
Here are some thoughts you and I should be looking at when we create our next overview of information.
Why scurry about looking for the truth?
It vibrates in every thing and every not-thing, right off the tip of your nose.
Can you be still and see it in the mountain?
The pine tree?
Yourself?Don’t imagine that you’ll discover it by accumulating more knowledge.
Knowledge creates doubt,
and doubt makes you ravenous for more knowledge.
Especially when looking at the last paragraph, I can’t stop thinking about mindmaps and visual overviews that are created because people want to include all information.
It is not about the huge maps and the accumulation of all available information around you.
The truth (or at least the insight) lies in combining the right information. This is what is the most difficult for most people. We just want to know it all, have it all, be it all and do it all. We do that without thinking about what we really want.
Create your next map with the right information, not with all information.
I guarantee you that this improves the real overview and creates a deeper insight in the information.
(just contact me if you want to learn how to create maps that have meaning, in stead of overviews that are overcrowded)
