Mind Map

Based on Wikipedia.com, a mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central keyword or idea.

example of mindmap:

LOGICAL MIND MAP VS ASSOCIATED MIND MAP

Logical mind map directly connected to stereotypes, it means that every words is still connected directly to the main of the map.

In Associated mind map, we can use randoms word that seems doesn’t have any connections to the center of the map..

JUXTAPOSITION

In week 7, we did some exercise related about juxtaposition. We have to choose 3 random numbers from 00-99. I choose, 11, 29, 10.

The lecturer gave as a name for each number. And for my number, I got:

e.g: 01,12,90

fly, water

flower, rock

leave, head

when bird fly it need drink water

my flower broke by falling rock

my mother love leave ….


Love is like a Chili

Last week, we have to make a poem about love base on the concept of chili. Here it goes:

You are like chili

You can make me sweat just by looking at you.

NOVELTY, INVENTION & INNOVATION

Novelty is a patentability requirement. An invention is not patentable if the claimed subject matter was disclosed before the date of filing, or before the date of priority if a priority is claimed, of the patent application



Invention is a new composition, device, or process.

The different is that in invention you create something that is totally new but it innovation you develop something that is already exist to become better.

Example



Innovation is a change in the thought process for doing something, or the useful application of new inventions or discoveries
-Innovation is something which is created by the need.
-Take the main idea that has been invented and modified the idea.

Creativity?

In the first class on first week, the lecturer thought us to be a creative people. For example when we have something that unusual for us we have to solve it in creative way.

How we can be a creative people? The main idea is “throw” your brain away and use your heart, or any part of your body. Always think out of the box..

The most creative people in the world

- Christopher Columbus is the inventor of the continent America

- Bill Gates is the inventor of Microsoft

- Einstein

- Thomas Alva Edison

- Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

- Ect.

“Creativity is a way of thinking it’s the only way of thinking that can change our world”

Creative?

Creative is having the ability or power to create; "a creative imagination" while in Wikipedia.com

Why do people fail to make their creative dreams real?

Here is what people say before working with Creative Steps:

It is already too late
My dreams don’t matter
It was just my ego anyway
It is not for people like me
I don’t have time
I could never be as good as
It has been done before
Who am I to want this?
What would they say?
I am just wasting my time
