A truly intelligent person is not one who can simply spout wordsand numbers; it is someone who can react ‘intelligently’ to all theopportunities, simulations and problems provided by the environment. Real intelligence means engaging your brain with every aspect of life —you play sport with you brain; you relate to others brain-to-brain;Tony Buzan

There is another Brain Principle to go with ‘First Things First’: that of‘ Last Things Too’. This states that, all other things being equal, you willrecall more easily the ‘last’ things. Check your own memory banks andsee if this principle holds for the following. You will probably recall:� -The last new person you met� -The last time you saw the person you love the most� -The last social event you attended.Tony Buzan

Mind mapping is a technique based on memory and creativity and comprehension and understanding, so when the student or a child uses the mind map, they are using their brain in the way their brain was designed to be used, and so the mind helps them in all learning and cognitive skills. It simply helps them in what the brain does naturally.Tony Buzan

Like our physical bodies, our memory becomes out of shape. As children, we are constantly learning new experiences, but by the time we reach our 20s, we start to lead a more sedentary life both mentally and physically. Our lives become routine, and we stop challenging our brains, and our memory starts to suffer.Tony Buzan
