QUESTION
If you were to tell your parents
today, Mom, dad, I want to be a
singer/actor/ artist. I want to quit
my studies.

What will they say?

CREATIVITY? WHATS THAT?

Creativity is defined as the tendency to
generate or recognize ideas,
alternatives, or possibilities that may be
useful in solving problems,
communicating with others, and
entertaining ourselves and others.

ARTISTIC SENSE? WHATS

THAT?
Possibly, the ability to see and look beyond
ordinary real life.
A person must have the imagination to
create expressive movement that is bigger
than life.You must have the ability to explore
and experiment, and not be afraid to push
past conventional limits.

MY QUESTION IS
Do you believe you can draw?

WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY

CANT DRAW?

No talent
But is this true?

I BELIEVE YOU
CAN DRAW!

WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY

talent.

HOW TO TRICK YOUR MIND

ty

The Box
Strategy

THE BOX STRATEGY

Is to create creative limitation
1. When we have a creative limitation it will work as a guideline for
our mind
2. Weirdly, with too much creative freedom, the mind will produce
the most boring answer
3. In short, the box strategy makes challenge more challenging

BOX STRATEGY IN ACTION:

TWITTER
1. It has a 140 character limitation
2. Forces people to be very creative
3. Innovation: use of hashtags #

YOU KNOW YOU CAN DRAW AND

YOU KNOW YOU ARE CREATIVE

Now what?

WE APPLY EVERYTHING TO
MIND MAPPING!
1. Mind map is an effective method of note-taking
and useful for the generation of ideas by
associations.
2. To make a mind map, one starts in the centre of
the page with the main idea, and works outward in
all directions, producing a growing and organized
structure composed of key words and key images.

KEY FEATURES OF MIND MAP

ARE
1. Organization
2. Key Words
3. Association
4. Clustering
5. Visual Memory- Print the key words, use color, symbols, icons,
3D-effects,arrows and outlining groups of words
6. Outstandingness- every Mind Map needs a unique center
7. Conscious involvement

HOW TO GET
STARTED ON
MIND
MAPPING

DRAW YOUR FUTURE!

What dreams or reality

that you want for
yourself?

THE END?
When we think about our box, what are we talking about?
It is our boundary (from our personal experience or even our
environment).
Maybe today you have overcome one boundary.
Next, what other beliefs or boundary that YOU can challenge?
