INTRODUCTION
I shall try to gather all the live Mind Maps that I did during Tony's courses or seminars in Singapore from the year 1997 onwards....... I hope this will provide some inspiration to those to continue persevering to take seminar notes in a mind map format! It is not easy, but I can assure you that the rewards are forever enriching, fulfilling and memorable. Each mind map is a Von Restorff (The VR effect was studied by Hedwig von Restorff in 1933) by itself as it captures a summary of about 70-90% or more of the content of what was delivered.
SOME REFLECTIONS
I have learnt that even though I have sat through two or more times in a course or seminar of the same title that is conducted by Tony, there is always something interesting that I would learn from the Guru. Each workshop/course/seminar is an endearing experience. After working with him and attending so many of his seminars I learnt a bit of his style of teaching. I must say that it helped me in improving my teaching that I managed to obtain some Academic Developmental and Teaching awards during my more than 30 years as a lecturer in Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Over the years, I also learnt that many of my students studying for their degrees, masters and PhDs, had also applied the principles of mind mapping to their studies. I hope what I have done would provide the motivation and inspiration to my students and others. LINK to testimonial and recommendations of professionals whom I have the privelege of working with I would be happy to work with any like minded people to bring to the world Tony's work through the numerous real-time mind maps that I have done.
Please enjoy the mind maps and learn from the connections and associations what the great inventor, Tony Buzan, has researched and taught. So......please attend one of Tony's courses/lectures if you have the opportunity. You will not regret it.
"A MASTERPIECE! " Mind Map
Below is one of the earliest Mind Map I did during Tony's 2-day seminar at SIM. It was the first A2-sized mind map that I did over the two days. Thus, one can see more details that other mind maps that were done on A3 to A6-sized paper. Could you imagine what it means for a mind map to be endorsed by the Tony Buzan, the Inventor of Mind Map as "A Masterpiece"? A mind map that was done on the spot over the two days. I too, was speechless, as I did not expect the mind map to turn out as shown. Although it is really a true 2D graphic representation of my interpretation of the 2-day course,
I strongly believe, anyone, with the right mindset and proper training given by a certified mind map trainer would also be able to benefit much by reading the mind map. It is almost as though one would have attended the course through my eyes, associations and interpretations!
