Summary

This quote suggests that pain and suffering can often lead to thoughtful reflection and introspection, which in turn can lead to acquiring wisdom. By going through challenging experiences, individuals are forced to re-evaluate their perspectives, ideas, and beliefs, ultimately gaining insights and understanding. Wisdom, then, becomes a valuable tool for enduring the ups and downs of life, helping individuals navigate difficult situations and finding meaning in their experiences. It implies that without pain, one may never fully appreciate the value of wisdom or find solace in the face of life's trials.

Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all. A mind map is so strongly visual and uses so many of the natural functions of memory that frequently it can be simply read off in the mind's eye.
