The Mind Map

Meaning Of Mind Map:

• Mind -The part of your brain that thinks & remembers; your thoughts, feelings & intelligence.
• Map -A drawing or plan of the surface of the earth that shoes countries, rivers mountains, road etc

Mind Map is one of the way to represent words, tasks or even images in a form of a diagram. It is used to generate and visualized for studying and organizing informations. Representing ideas in mind map can brainstorm us to arrange informations and ideas rather than representing it in a form of graphical and radial. The mind map is a concept of mapping. It can contain words or even images to represent something. It produce a relationship between the each ideas and description which form a concept and pattern. 

It is a great tool of idea generation and brainstorming. It enhances both side of the human brain and widely used in taking notes, research or generating new ideas. A creative mind map able to stimulate and create interest to the individual and viewer. Our brain receive a lot of memories, knowledge, expression and experiences which sometime couldn't even save because the input is very high. To make the brain work faster and save a lot of things, we need to transform the input into a form of mind map by link those input and ideas to the subject matter. Mind Map can be produce in a form of words only, image or both of them also.

Mind Map have been used for many applications in personal,family, education and business. It is used for:

• problem solving
• individual expression of creativity
• words and visual
• enhancing work morale
• collaboration
• converting materials into memorable format or form
• team building
• framework design

There are 2 types of Mind Map:

• Logical Mind Map

          - directly connected to stereotypes. It comprises of solely stereotypes words. Every word or image        

             which is used is directly related to the central subject through its links.

          Usage: to divide and understand our subject matter clearly. The main subject can be recall back.

• Associated Mind Map

          _ able to generate random words and also show the link between words that seemingly have no    

             connection.

          Usage: to generate all random ideas in a good way and later can be expanded more. It is fresh and   

                      relaxing.

The difference between them is that logical mind map is generally a mind map that is possessed of reasons, intellectual & argument while associated mind map is the techniques that we use to get good ideas where it generates random words, show link that have no connection.

Steps To Make A Mind Map:

1. Start in the CENTRE of a blank page turned sideways. Why? Because starting in the centre gives your Brain freedom to spread out in all directions and to express itself more freely and naturally.
2. Use an IMAGE or PICTURE for your central idea. Why? Because an imageis worth a thousand words and helps you use your Imagination. A central image is more interesting, keeps you focussed, helps you concentrate, and gives your Brain more of a buzz!
3. Use COLOURS throughout. Why? Because colours are as exciting to your Brain as are images. Colour adds extra vibrancy and life to your Mind Map, adds tremendous energy to your Creative Thinking, and is fun!
4. CONNECT your MAIN BRANCHES to the central image and connect your second- and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why?Because your Brain works by association. It likes to link two (or three, or four) things together. If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
5. Make your branches CURVED rather than straight-lined. Why? Because having nothing but straight lines is boring to your Brain.
6. Use ONE KEY WORD PER LINE. Why Because single key words give your Mind Map more power and flexibility.
7. Use IMAGES throughout. Why Because each image, like the central image, is also worth a thousand words. So if you have only 10 images in your Mind Map, it's already the equal of 10,000 words of notes!

Creating Image of Public Figure

He have proved to the world that he is also one of the creative person based on his novelty, creativity, innovation and invention.

The Invention

Invention means the act of finding out or inventing; contrivance or construction of that which has not before existed; as the invention of logarithms, the invention of the art of printing. Innovation and invention are almost the same. It uses existing ideas and improve it into new ideas and ways. 

Invention comes from imagination. It also possible to develop the existing invention and turn it into something new. Some things need to be revised to create new invention. Invention needs imagination, dreams that no one sees before. inventing requires seeing things from other perspective and realizing it as a new thing. But, invention not necessary is unpredictable. Perhaps, it is thought but no further knowledge that time to invent it. Later on when that thing is invented, it becomes something new. It becomes something exist and real which perhaps it was only an imagination.

For an example, a camera phone can be considered as invention because it is a device which allow the user to take photos and communicate with others by talking and sending messages. No one thought about that before. Camera device and a phone device were different innovation. The combination of the devices is called as invention.

There are differences between innovation and invention. Overall, innovation is the extension of invention or the process of improving where it begins. Innovation relates to novelty and modernization whereas invention relates to creation of something new. Innovation leads to creativity and this can be applied to various aspects of life, right from industries to personal management. Invention is something fresh and not known to the world yet while innovation may be new to the industry or an organization, but it may not be new to the world. Invention is practical and can be assessed or felt by the people. On the other hand, innovation is a modern idea which can be applied to the present situation. Innovation is invention plus exploitation. When an idea of making a new product or process first occurs, it is innovation, while invention is the primary attempt to bring that idea into practice. Invention's concern is a singular product or process but innovation involves an amalgamation of various products.

In conclusion, invention is a creation of existing ideas into something new. Invention needs imagination to develop existing ideas. It relates to novelty and modernization of creating something new. Combination of invention and exploitation produce innovation.

The Innovation

Innovation means new discipline of understand and application of methods from several different areas. There are many condition such as knowledge and attitudes that have direct impact on building innovation competencies. Innovation means create new things, ideas or ways of doing. Innovation is a process which an idea or invention is translated into a service and making improvement by using existing ideas and create something new.

Innovation founds in products, methods, how people find new ways of doing things that have been existed or may not have been existed. When an individual comes up with an idea which has not been explored yet, it is the biggest innovation on earth. Innovation might be something that is improved from previous findings and existence but the greatest innovation is Gutenberg Press which is what we call now as "Printer".










Key elements for an efficient innovation program of study are:

• Critical Discussion (condition) - Learn through criticism,  from others,  and also self-criticism.  This can be done through teamwork activities and presentation where critical debate is encouraged.
• Strategic Focus (knowledge) – Planning the designing process;  planning the activities through several class exercise involving game and student competition; and developed through research,  analytical and creative activities that reflect a general process of innovation.
• Dependence on Methods (knowledge attitude) – Trust in their methods and technique.  Therefore,  the innovative program should focus in research,  analysis and synthesis.
• Human-Centered  Approached (knowledge + attitude) – Success in their innovation is directly associated with the value it brings for people’ lives.  Therefore,  a successful program of study should include technique for accessing people’ needs. 

New sciences have also contributed to technology as in the theoretical preparation for the invention of the steam engine. In the 20th century itself, innovations in semiconductor technology increased the performance and decreased the cost of electronic materials and the devices by factor of a million which is an achievement unparalleled in the history of any technology.


In conclusion, innovation is creating new ideas and ways by developing and improving existing ideas into something different and with new perspective. The new ways of producing it can be existed or even haven't been exist before. 

The Creativity Company - Thinking out of the box?

The Creativity

Creativity means generation of new ideas or new ways. It might not necessary be really new like novelty. But to be novelty, creativity does play its role which is creative thinking. Creativity is a combination of thinking skill, resources and internal motivation. It has ability and power with using imagination and skills.A person doesn't only tends to develop,invent and produce but as well as thinking and imagine plus use the talent to become inventive. 

Creativity thinking is something ability of thinking outside of the box. It must be something which is uncommon among our community. Originality is considered to be a sufficient condition for creativity. In conclusion, creativity is something which should be fresh and original. Creative things can only be produce by creative thinking which is ability of thinking outside of the box. Creativity and Intelligence are almost the same but creativity has more depth than intelligence because intelligence is something common while creativity is something uncommon among the human community. But, to understand the term of creativity, we must have the intelligence.

There are two types of creative thinking. One is C (Big C) and another one is c (small c). There are difference between them. The Big C represent the creative thinking which not everyone could able to think and produce something which is new and uncommon in our daily life when while small c represent creative thinking which everyone able to think and produce something which is new but it is common among the human community when we look at a bigger perspective.

Four types of Creativity:


* Aesthetic Organizers
* Boundary Pusher
- take existing idea an push further
* Inventors
- take existing idea and create new ideas
* Boundary Breakers
- Leonardos and the Copernicuses

Being an Aesthetic Organizers is something which is represent by everyone. Everyone in this world are Aesthetic Organizers. Most of the creative people are Boundary Pusher. They don't think much of new ideas because they just use the same ideas but just kind of slightly different from others. A group of the people can be known as Inventors. They just use the existing ideas but create something new. They produce it in different ways. But being Boundary Breakers is kinda tough and very rare of people are Boundary Breakers they produce something which is very new, beyond and different perspective which they turn out Virtually into Reality.


There are three reasons why people are motivated to be creative:

1. need for novel, varied and complex stimulation
2. need to communicate ideas and values
3. need to solve problems

How do we want to be creative?

Look at artwork in galleries and museums. Read books and magazines. Use your senses and experience stimulates your memory and imagination.

Develop your skills.
- Skills build confidence so work to improve your techniques.

Make creative thinking a part of your daily life.

- Ask question. Vary routines. Do the unexpected. You feel more mentally alert.

Smash creative blocks.
- Change the problem or sneak up on it from a different direction. Try something fresh – a new way with an old theme.

                               Some of the coolest invention for our daily life

In conclusion, to be creative, we need to be able to view things in new ways and different angle plus perspective. Among other things, you need to be able to generate new possibilities or new alternatives. Tests of creativity measure not only the number of alternatives that people can generate but the uniqueness of those alternatives. The ability to generate alternatives or to see things uniquely does not occur by change; it is linked to other and more fundamental qualities of thinking such as flexibility, tolerance of ambiguity or unpredictability and the enjoyment of things. So, creative leads us to novelty, innovation and last but not least invention.

The Novelty

                                               The Pistol Gun Hairdryer

                                                The Toilet Roll Holder

                                                   The Novelty Radio

Novelty means the quality of being new and unusual although it may be said to have an objective dimension (such as abstract art or impression) it essentially exist in the subjective perception of individual. It should be something new that is original and not common. I most likely unpredictable. For an example, a person discover something new but actually it is something common in our life when we look at a bigger perspective. That is not novelty. Novelty is something that has not been seen and has elements of surprise and originality without being predicted and comes so differently with anything exist.


                                      The Wright Brothers Plane Invention

For an example the invention of aeroplane. Those days, people couldn't fly because humans don't have wings 2 fly like a bird. they travel by using animals,cars and ships. They only have land transport and water transport. They don't have air transport. This invention can be classified as novelty because it is very unique and not a common thing. The air transport have been introduced to the human community.

In conclusion, novelty is something original,new and not common. The Presumption of novelty aims The Universal Law of its generation. It explain of how does original works and to be produced. Novelty is important for everyone in this world especially in this new era. We need novelty also to produce new and original ideas and invention.
