Motivational Monday: Seeing things from different viewpoints

As I am trying to start back my wonderful routines of writing motivational entries every Monday, I found Tony Buzan’s Mind Map book that is buried underneath the rest of my books. I totally forgot I have this book! I love Tony Buzan and I have always been fascinated by his ‘mind map’ teaching since I was very young.

I came across this advice in this book – ‘seeing things from different viewpoints‘.

In his books, he gave case studies of how Ted Hughes – The English Poet Laureate, Jodie Foster – actress, Maria Montessori -education, Martin Luther King and Alexander the Great – leaders; all of them applied the technique of ‘seeing things from different viewpoints’ in their life and achieved greatness.

By doing this, we will free ourself from one-track thinking. We will open our life to more opportunities, new kind of  solutions, and better life experiences. We will be more emphatic and more understanding of other people and their situation. We will also be able take more actions and to act more courageously.

I am grateful that I found this book and this great advice, when I needed it the most. Alhamdulillah. :)

To those who didn’t know Tony Buzan, this is a wonderful mind-map showing who he is! I found this mind map really cool :D
