Have you ever felt the uncertainty when preparing an essay or a presentation?
Especially in a limited period.
You can't expect yourself to jot down every detail, words by words, on the blank page!
Running out of idea

Apparently, mind mapping is the powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlocking the potential of the brain.
It's easier for us to memorize information through pictures and less words.
In another meaning, it enhances human performance.

Mind mapping categorized into two types,
(a) Logical Mind Mapping
(b)Associated Mind Mapping
