১। যে গোনাহ, করে কিংবা নিজের অনিষ্ট করে, অতঃপর আল্লাহর কাছে ক্ষমা প্রার্থনা করে, সে আল্লাহকে ক্ষমাশীল, করুণাময় পায়।  - (সূরা আন নিসা - ১১০)

১। নিশ্চয়ই তোমাদের পালনকর্তা আল্লাহ যিনি তৈরী করেছেন আসমান ও যমীনকে ছয় দিনে, অতঃপর তিনি আরশের উপর অধিষ্ঠিত হয়েছেন। তিনি কার্য পরিচালনা করেন। কেউ সুপারিশ করতে পাবে না তবে তাঁর অনুমতি ছাড়া ইনিই আল্লাহ তোমাদের পালনকর্তা। অতএব, তোমরা তাঁরই এবাদত কর। তোমরা কি কিছুই চিন্তা কর না ? - (সুরা ইউনুস ৩)

1. The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. - Alice Walker

মানুষের প্রার্থনাঃ শুরু করছি আল্লাহর নামে যিনি পরম করুণাময়, অতি দয়ালু। যাবতীয় প্রশংসা আল্লাহ তা’আলার যিনি সকল সৃষ্টি জগতের পালনকর্তা। যিনি নিতান্ত মেহেরবান ও দয়ালু। যিনি বিচার দিনের মালিক। আমরা একমাত্র তোমারই ইবাদত করি এবং শুধুমাত্র তোমারই সাহায্য প্রার্থনা করি। আমাদেরকে সরল পথ দেখাও, সে সমস্ত লোকের পথ, যাদেরকে তুমি নেয়ামত দান করেছ। তাদের পথ নয়, যাদের প্রতি তোমার গজব নাযিল হয়েছে এবং যারা পথভ্রষ্ট হয়েছে। (সুরা ফাতিহা ১-৭)

-রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর

আজি হতে শতবর্ষ-পরে
কে তুমি পড়িছ বসি আমার কবিতাখানি
কৌতুহলভরে-
আজি হতে শতবর্ষ-পরে।
আজি নব বসন্তের প্রভাতের আনন্দের
লেশমাত্র ভাগ-
আজিকার কোনো ফুল, বিহঙ্গের কোনো গান,
আজিকার কোনো রক্তরাগ
অনুরাগে সিক্ত করি পারিব কি পাঠাইতে
তোমাদের করে
আজি হতে শতবর্ষ-পরে।।
তবু তুমি একবার খুলিয়া দক্ষিণদ্বার
বসি বাতায়নে
সুদূর দিগন্তে চাহি কল্পনায় অবগাহি
ভেবে দেখো মনে-
একদিন শতবর্ষ-আগে
চঞ্চল পুলকরাশি কোন্ স্বর্গ হতে ভাসি
নিখিলের মর্মে আসি লাগে,
নবীন ফাল্গুনদিন সকল-বন্ধন-হীন
উন্মত্ত অধীর-
উড়ায়ে চঞ্চল পাখা পুষ্পরেণুগন্ধমাখা
দক্ষিণসমীর
সহসা আসিয়া ত্বরা রাঙায়ে দেয়েছে ধরা
যৌবনের রাগে
তোমাদের শতবর্ষ-আগে।
সেদিন উতলা প্রাণে হৃদয় মগন গানে,
কবি এক জাগে-
কত কথা পুষ্পপ্রায় বিকশি তুলিতে চায়
কত অনুরাগে
একদিন শতবর্ষ-আগে। ।
আজি হতে শতবর্ষ-পরে
এখন করিছে গান সে কোন্ নুতন কবি
তোমাদের ঘরে!
আজিকার বসন্তের আনন্দ-অভিবাদন
পাঠায়ে দিলাম তাঁর করে।
আমার বসন্তগান তোমার বসন্তদিনে
ধ্বনিত হউক ক্ষণতরে-
হৃদয়স্পন্দনে তব, ভ্রমরগুঞ্জনে নব,
পল্লব মর্মরে,
আজি হতে শতবর্ষ-পরে।।

Mind Mapping / 10 Real Life Uses of Mind Maps
« on: April 26, 2019, 09:01:43 PM »

This article is dedicated to all of you that live in the fast lane and lack time to stop and reflect along the way. There is a simple and underrated solution that can drastically improve the quality of time you spend on planning and ease the process of reaching your goals – and that is mind mapping.

As simple as it sounds, creating mind maps can impact your personal and professional performances, for which we created a list of 10 real life uses you should definitely have in consideration.

1. Memorizing

The first thing that comes to mind when we mention memorizing new information is studying, but it would be a pity to relate mind maps only with education.

Many people struggle with memorizing and we all have different techniques that suit us best: some of us use visuals, others prefer an auditory input, the kinestetic method is also popular among young learners etc.

But let’s look at the facts:

"Research approximates that between 80-90% of the information received by the brain comes through the eyes."

This is further elaborated in Hyerle’s chapter on Thinking Maps which offers a great overview of how learners create cognitive mind maps to boost learning and memorizing.

Still not impressed?

Approximately 65% of the population is visual learners. Just think of how much mind mapping can help you memorize and acquire new concepts by building on your previous knowledge.

This is especially the case in this digital age where we are being bombarded with visual input that makes it easier for us to recall the information even after longer periods of time.

2. Organizing Ideas

This usage overlaps with the previous one to a certain point, but it still deserves a separate attention as it has a wide practical implementation that cannot be deduced to the educational needs only. It has to do with how our brain functions.

It works by creating associative connections between concepts, and this makes it much easier to see the interconnectedness between ideas by presenting them in a non-linear fashion (which is in contrast with writing for example).

With this in mind, we can see that mind maps resemble the brain – they create meaningful chunks of information. By grouping information into bigger (and more abstract) categories we understand them much better. It is the neuroscience of meaning and association.

Using mind maps to organize ideas is the key to unlock the brain’s potential because it truly is a mirror-like image of the brain.

The non-linear approach gives way to both the left and right hemisphere which, in return, gives way for the creative and analytical to merge into an innovative idea.

3. Brainstorming Sessions

It looks easy to organize an idea, but you will need a brainstorming session if you do not have one in the first place. Mind maps also come in handy for this because they unleash the creative inspiration that is more than welcomed during brainstorming sessions.

Brainstorming may look chaotic at times, but this ‘creative chaos’ is the place where new ideas are born and developed. There has been a lot of research in the field of brainstorming implications which suggest that the format we use to write down the suggested ideas can influence the quality of the session.

Mind mapping and brainstorming are the perfect match for several reasons:

Mind maps are dynamic and can follow up the fast-changing tempo of a brainstorming session;
All potential interrelationships between certain ideas can be seen more vividly;
Mind maps can hold the session under control, for brainstorming is open-ended and can easily go off-topic if the limits of discussion are not clear-cut.
So next time you are doing a brainstorming session, try using a mind mapping software like iMindQ, and see whether it will turn out more successful than the previous ones.

4. Attractive Presentations

Now that you have a new idea from your brainstorming session and you are able to organize it properly and thoroughly, it is time to present it – and mind maps can also help you do that in a visually attractive and coherent way.

How will this affect the delivery and persuasiveness of the presentation?

A research paper has come to the conclusion that “presentations using visual aids were found to be 43% more persuasive than unaided presentations.” From this we can see that the visual input is a vital support that will help you and your audience make and take the best out of the presentation.

Mind maps are excellent for presentations because they provide a well-organized flow that it is easier to grasp. We have all witnessed knowledgeable presenters who want to share so much information that they end up switching topics and stretching complex ideas only on the surface.

To avoid being misunderstood, use mind maps on your next presentation. In this way your presentation will look more professional, easy to follow, and you will keep your audience’s attention longer. Your map will probably be what they remember the most.

5. Simplify Complex Ideas

As Leonardo da Vinci has said: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

You might be an expert in your field, but you should master the art of simplifying complex ideas so that you can transfer your knowledge, present an idea to your colleagues or upper management, or maybe just rehearse to see if you have mastered a certain topic.

To put it in Einstein’s words: “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough."

You will see exactly how much you understand a certain concept when you will try to create a mind map to explain it. This is especially the case with complex and abstract concepts that have multiple divisions and correlations.

By dividing the concept into smaller chunks, you will see in what areas you need further improvements, particularly if you apply the 'translate-it-to-a-12-years-old-language' rule.

Mind maps work on connecting keywords, so it will be easy to connect the dots and look at the big picture once you have written down all the necessary information. It is perfect for eliciting and representing knowledge among multidisciplinary teams as well.

6. Case Study

Yes, mind maps can also be implemented in case studies and different areas, from negotiating skills to rapid analysis of qualitative data. As you can see, the possibilities are endless!

A mind mapping strategy can help you build a successful case study in which you will not miss on any detail during the examination.

One of the things you could use are mind map templates, or make up your own and recycle them for future projects.

Case studies should have a logical structure and clear outline. In that way, they will distinctly show how your ideas are connected with the business and what will their implementation mean for the whole company. More importantly, you will get bonus points if they are personalized; so presenting them with a mind map in your own unique and customized way will build up confidence.

Writing a case study is a demanding and delicate process itself, so consider presenting it in the form of a mind map which will minimalistic and simplified.

7. Problem Solving

The correlation is more than obvious but still, let’s go through it once again. When it comes to mind maps, it is all about creating as many new branches that will help you see the relationships between different, or seemingly unmatchable ideas.

For example, one research study "illustrates how non-hierarchical mind mapping techniques can guide novice designers in adopting the design problem-solving processes/framework of expert designers." How?

Simple. When weighing down all the possible solutions you discover the what-ifs that may not have sprang to mind if we are just contemplating without taking any notes, or even just writing them as bullet-points. This technique lowers anxiety and stress which are our biggest enemies when we are in a problem-solving process. Thus, mind maps can help you remain calm and get full control over the problem.

Plus, you will have a clear bird-perspective of the bigger image and maximize the potential of choosing the right solution.

Very often it is not about the complexity of the problem, but its formulation and approach.

8. Project Management

Project managers do not have time to loose and must use their time productively and strategically. Mind maps can come in handy as their multi-faceted nature has many applicable uses: scheduling, planning, meeting brainstorming sessions, team management, project scope – anything that will assure better performance and project outcome! It is all about organizing the chaos so that it does not look overwhelming and demotivating.

Try conducting team project planning or team decisions with your members in a collaborative mind map. You might be surprised to what extent can new ideas develop in unpredictable directions. Additionally, the project responsibilities and assignments will come in naturally: everyone will contribute with their expertise in the field and the task-division process will be organic.

Another possible scenario: use a mind map to schedule meetings and divide assignments. Once you have written down all the activities each team-member has, only a glance at the min map will tell you whether the workload is divided properly.

It will also help you remember each member’s tasks for a longer period, and you can also use it to track their progress.

9. Sourcing

Mind maps can be highly beneficial to recruiters in several ways. Firstly, they can help in creating a strategy for a potential applicant. You can neatly organize all the information about a certain profile: level of education, type of job, assignments and requirements and so on. Thus you will have everything needed at a glance.

Secondly, you can present the tracking of your applicant in a mind map as well. Write down from which channels the portfolios came from. You can compare this with your colleagues and create a mutual mind map to see your weak and strong points and try to maximize the group potential.

Thirdly, you could track down the onboarding process which very important but seldom improved. By mind mapping the stages that each new employee goes through, you can easily address the weak points and track down the process of their improvement.

You see, mind maps can be implemented almost everywhere.

10. Summarizing

Last but not least, it is perfect to summarize in a mind map. Books you have read, films you have seen, your weekly tasks - anything! You will remember the summary much longer than if you have written it down in the form of a paragraph because, as I mentioned earlier, our brain works by visualizing and organizing.

You can add sub-topics and then branch each one of them into further details until you have exhausted all possible further divisions.

The beauty of mind mapping is perfect for such scientific approach that aims to classify and further divide until there is nothing more left to discover.

And since a picture is worth a thousand words, then it will perfectly fit the purpose of this article to present all 10 real life uses of mind maps into a mind map!

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.
Now let's try the second filter, the filter of goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the filter of usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?" "No not really "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

Once upon a time in village there was an old man-Mohidur.  He wanted to meet his son who lived in a city.  He started his journey and came to a city where his son used to work and stay.  He went to the place from where he used to get letters long back.  When he knocked the door he was excited and smiled with joy to meet his son.  Unfortunately, someone else opened the door. Mohidur asked, “I suppose Mehedi should be staying in this place.” The person said, “No! He had left the place and shifted to different location.”  Mohidur was disappointed and just thinking how to meet his son.  He started to walk in the street and the neighbors asked Mohidur, “Are you looking for Mehedi?” Mohidur responded by nodding his head.  The neighbors gave the present address and office address of Mehedi to the Mohidur.  Mohidur thanked them and started towards the path which will lead to his son.
Mohidur went to the office and asked in the reception counter, “Could you please tell me the location of Mehedi, in this office?” The receptionist asked, “May I know how you are related to him?” Mohidur responded politely by saying, “I’m his father.” The receptionist said, Mohidur to wait for a moment and rang up to Mehedi and conveyed the same.  Mehedi was shocked and told the receptionist to send his father to the cabin immediately.  Mohidur entered the cabin and when he saw Mehedi; his eyes were filled with tears.  Mehedi was happy to see his father.  They had a simple conversation for a while and then Mohidur asked Mehedi, “Son! Mom wants to see you.  Come home with me.”
Mehedi responded, “No father.  I can’t come.  I’ve a busy life and it’s hard to get leave.”
Mohidur gave a simple smile and said, “Okay! You may do your work.  I’ll be going back to our village today evening.”
Mehedi asked, “You can stay for few days with me.  Please.”
Mohidur responded after a moment of silence, “Son.  You are busy with your tasks.  I don’t want to make you uncomfortable or become a burden for you.” Continued, “I hope if ever had chance to meet you again, I would be happy.” He left the place.
After 2 months Mehedi felt bad for treating his father in a weird manner.  He felt guilt for it and took a leave in office for few days and went to his village to meet his father.  When he went to the place where he was born and grew up, he saw that his parents were not there.  He was shocked and asked the neighbors, “What happened here? My parents have to be there.  Where are they now?” The neighbors gave the address of the place where his parents are staying.  Mehedi rushed to the place and noticed that the place where his parents are staying currently was like a graveyard.  Mehedi eyes was filled with tears and started to walk slowly towards the home.  His father Mohidur noticed Mehedi in a far distance and waved his hand to draw his attention.  Mehedi saw his father and started to run and hugged him.
Mohidur asked, “How are you?” and continued, “What a surprise to see you here. I didn’t expect that you would be coming to this place.”
Mehedi felt ashamed and kept his head down. Mohidur said, “Why are you feeling bad.  Is anything wrong happened?”
Mehedi responded, “No father” continued, “It’s just I never knew that I would be seeing you in this position in our village.”
Mohidur smiled and said, “I had debts due to loss in farming and wanted to reclaim our home back.  So I thought of approaching you, but you were more concerned about your tasks than us.  I just didn’t want to burden you with this problem and remained silent.”
Mehedi whispered, “You could’ve told me. I’m not an outsider.”
Mohidur turned around and said, “Your words on office made me to remain quiet.  All we wanted was your happiness.  So I kept quiet.”
Mehedi started to cry and hugged his father again. He asked his father to apologize and forgive him for his mistake. Mohidur smiled and said, “No need for that.  All I wanted was that you must come to us.  I’m happy with what I got now.” And from then Mehedi made his parents life more comfortable.

Nazrul was a carpenter. He was living in a village. His mother died a long time back. His aged father, Dulon Miah, lived with Nazrul. Dulon Miah was very weak. He could not even walk well. He was so weak. It was because Nazrul did not give him enough food. He had given his father a small earthen plate. Even a small quantity of rice in the plate appeared to be much. Nazrul was a bad man. He was a drunkard also. After taking drinks, he abused his father badly.

Nazrul had a son. His name was Mosharraf. Mosharraf was just ten years old. He was a very good boy. He loved his grandfather. He had great respect for his grandfather. He did not like his father’s attitude and character because his father was treating his grandfather cruelly.

One day Dulon Miah was eating his food out of the earthen plate that his son had given to him. The earthen plate fell down. The plate broke into pieces. The food also fell on the floor. Nazrul was working at the other end of the room. He saw the broken plate. He was very angry with his father and used very harsh words to abuse his father. The old man felt bad about what happened. He was sorry for his mistake. Nazrul’s words wounded him very deeply.

Nazrul’s son, Mosharraf, saw this. He did not like his father’s attitude. His father was ill-treating his grandfather. He was afraid to speak against his father. He was sad about his grandfather. But he was not powerful to stand in support of his grandfather.

The next day Mosharraf took some of his father’s carpentry tools and a piece of wood. He worked with the tools to make a wooden plate. His father saw him working.

“What are you making, Mosharraf?" he asked.

“I am making a wooden plate!" replied Mosharraf.

“A wooden plate! What for?" asked his father.

“I am making it for you, father. When you grow old, like my grandfather, you will need a plate for food. A plate made from earth may break very easily. Then I may scold you severely. So, I want to give you a wooden plate. It may not break so easily."

The carpenter was shocked to hear this. Only now he realized his mistake. His father was kind to Nazrul He had looked after Nazrul very well. Now, he was old. Nazrul was treating his father severely. Nazrul was now very sad about his own behavior. He realized his mistakes. He then became a different person.

From that day, Nazrul treated his father with great respect. He gave up drinking too. Najrul learned a lesson from his own son.

Coming Out of the BOX / Story - Is it easy to Think Out of the Box?
« on: April 16, 2019, 02:35:17 PM »
Mr. Arif is a lawyer in Bangladesh High Court. He was a very bright student in his educational life. He is doing great in his law career too. In 2016 he planned to marry. So he contacted Mr. Akhlaq known as Ghotok Pakhi Bhai. Pakhi bhai said to Mr. Arif and his family that there is a girl named Ms. Neela, who is very beautiful, polite and have other qualities which would make her a good housewife. Apart from that Ms. Neela’s family has business in Saudi Arabia so they are very rich. Mr. Arif’s parents agreed to take this girl as their daughter in law and demanded some dowry. Ms. Neela’s father also agreed with their demand because it’s old Dhaka’s tradition to give dowry to the husband of daughter. Unfortunately Neela’s father had a business loss after Neela’s marriage. He was a heart patient and after this loss his illness increased. So he couldn’t give what he promised. Arif’s family started to humiliate Neela. Despite being an educated person and a famed lawyer Arif did nothing about it. Sometimes he backed them. Days pass by. Neela became pregnant. In 2017 she gave birth to a male child. But due to some health complications the child died on his 3rd day in this world. Arif’s family blamed Neela and her family for this death and told Arif to divorce Neela. Arif did so and sent Neela back to her father’s home. He didn’t pay a single paisa of Neela’s Mohrana (an amount of money that has to be paid to the bride by bridegroom according to Islamic law). Hearing this news Neela’s father had a heart attack and he died on 7th November 2017.

Descendant of a common poor peasant family of most primitive, backward village today has become an extraordinary personality by dint of own talent and virtue of work, before performing responsibilities as Governor of Bangladesh Bank he was appointed as professor of development studies of Dhaka University.

Though the basic profession was teaching, he has different kinds of research work on the economy of Bangladesh.

The descendant of a backward family of a neglected class of the society Dr. Atiur was born in a solitary village of Jamalpur district. Father was a poor landless farmer. He did not have the ability to carry on his schooling at the primary level due to very low resources. As a result at Class III he dropped out from schooling, later dramatically returned back to School.

He attained the pride to stand first by appearing at examination with three months’ preparation. His self- confidence went up. He started studies afresh. During leisure family work and alongside school work, he became attentive in the midst of both. Completing primary education during the run, he got himself admitted into the Dighaipat Junior High School. His uncle was a teacher of that school. During his schooling life, while at Class VII, he showed the advertisement for admission into Cadet College. Later under his direct, personal supervision, he passed Cadet College Admission Test. During the start-up period of the Cadet College schooling, monthly tuition money even used to be collected from donations raised at hats i.e., village market places. Later knowing about the problem the authority arranged scholarship.

From that pace of advanced life which began at Mirzapore Cadet College he never again went apart, stood 5th in SSC in Dhaka Board. Later more new successes were added. With post-graduation degree in Economics from Dhaka University, Atiur accomplished PhD from London.

Dr. Atiur Rahman was Director of state-owned Sonali Bank, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Janata Bank and performed responsibilities as Senior Research Fellow of Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS). He had significant roles in the expansion of small loan activities in Bangladesh. After taking up responsibilities as Governor of Bangladesh Bank, he took special steps to boost up lending in the agricultural sector and let the same reach the hands of the genuine farmers. Announcements were made to provide lending to sharecroppers during his tenure. He issued various directives for raising investments in the agricultural sector by Private Commercial Banks. During his term country’s foreign exchange reserve crossed the high 10 billion dollars. One of the examples of his farm friendly policy is the directive to open separate agricultural as well as SME branches by the scheduled Banks. Dr. Atiur Rahman is dedicated in the realization of the dream of the reflection of the agro rich robust Bangladesh as caught in his awareness, carefully brought up during his childhood. He wants to extend services to the farm system of the country by performing responsibilities as Governor of the central bank. He has special awareness about the environment.
