In the previous post, we discussed how you can use a mindmap to create a good overview of your foreign words.
Today, I want to take this one step further. Understand this second part discusses something I am experimenting with right now. So things may seem strange or perhaps even incorrect. I am no language expert. I only know mind mapping 
.
Using a mindmap is great when studying. Before I used the mindmap in my own studies, I always wondered about one thing:
How can this overview of words in a mindmap assist me in studying?

What is the best piece of advice you can give a person to become successful?
I was listening to a Brian Tracy presentation. He said that people know everything they need in order to be successful. During a training he once did, he asked everybody in the audience to write down their piece of advice so he could create a booklet for all attending.
His thought that we all know what we need to be successful is so true. I know so many things to be more successful than I am right now. I speak with many people who all know what they need to do to be more successful.
Do you know what the sad thing is?

Again, we return in these Mindmap Circle articles to our childhood. Besides the fact that ‘everything was better’ when we were young and time wasn’t going this fast as it is nowadays, there is something else important to learn from when we were young.
Who told you how to start drawing pictures and creating these stories you told yourself and others?
Did you have or need a lot of guidance in playing games with your friends?
I assume you didn’t need advice. Even more so… you probably didn’t even know why you did things and yet… it worked out fine (most of the time).
Then you had to learn how to follow the rules of the people who knew it all. You had to color in between the lines, you could not believe people can fly (this might be a good thing…) and your drawings had to be a clear representation of the ‘real’ world.

Most people feel that mind mapping is a familiar way of working, even when they first encounter it. I would like to tell you more about this today. We take a close look at mind mapping and you will learn that mind mapping is a lot less ’special’ than the ‘normal’ methods of writing we use today.
I love to spend time with my nephew who is 8 years young now. It is amazing to see kids develop and go through the different stages of understanding life and their environment. Let’s have a look at the way he handles his thoughts, ideas and stories.
When he was really young he started creating pictures and telling stories which supported his drawings. He didn’t have a need to use words. All the drawings he made meant something to him.
Then that dreadful day… (dramatic pause)
