Brainless??! who me??

Another day, another talk... College life seems to be peppered with various talks on all sorts of topics... Today was Mr Tony Buzan's talk on study smart: mind-mapping techniques... Dont know who he is?? ~~Google!!! :D I cant believe what a good student i am, fancy staying back and waiting 2 hours just to attend a talk... :P My friends and me spent the first few minutes into the talk discussing who was richer and more intelligent -- the principal or the guest speaker himself... based on who was balder and had a shinier head :P

First, let me share a few bits of trivia i learned today... :)
Anyone up for guessing the percentage of our brainpower we are currently using???
The answer is actually less than 1%, hahahha... unbelievable isn't it?? makes us practically dumbos, walking ard without a brain... sigh~~~

How many digits did the 8-time winner of the World memory championships manage to remember and recite perfectly??
The answer is 198 digits... ridiculous right... everyone in the hall tried it and we were already stuck at abt 15 digits... And the crazy fellow cld recite it backwards some more... @.@

Whats our left brain in charge of?? Maths?? Logic??
Nonono... its actually words, numbers, lists, lines, logic and analysis! hahahha...
What abt the right?? Aiya, dunno whether ppl will want to know anyway...

Most of the topics were what we already know but seldom bother to practice lah....
e.g. healthy body=healthy mind & vice-versa... eat fresh and nutritious food to boost brainpower... invest in yr brain and work it everyday, etc.... I guess most ppl have heard these things more than once before in their life lah...

Anyway, the main point of the talk was to introduce incredible mind maps such as the ones shown below into our world... i gleaned these off www.buzanasia.com :) have fun making your own lah, ppl...
