Dear Reader,
A friend of mine once told me that I use this word atleast 5 times during the day. That makes it 35 times a week!! Ironically, I've been having trouble to be able to articulate my thoughts in the last two days. You would've guessed that from the date of my last post.
So why is articulation so dear to me? Apart from the fact that you are communicating your thoughts to another person, show your perspective, it also does provide some clarity to your own self. Don't you agree? When you put your thoughts, feelings in words, you give it a logical sequence. You get into the details and that provides you the clarity. So sometimes when you are not clear of what is it that you are feeling exactly, it helps to talk to someone who could listen to you. And at the end of the 'talking session', you feel better!! It is not the listener who actually gave you solutions, it's the process of articulation that did.
I recently read an article, "It's all about Perspective", that said how important it is to be able to focus on details while you write, to describe your characters, to provide their point of view and to be able to get the reader relate to them.
It inspired me to go on and write this post!!

Hi Kalyani
read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap, perhaps you wuill be able to master artculations of your thoughts.
I use MindManager (not free) on Windows and Xmind (free) on Linux. When I prepare a new trainning, I use a map...

Thanks Daniel.
Yes, mind-mapping is awesome. It works very well when you have to work on a concept that has multiple facets, when you have to go divergent with your thoughts.
I did use MindManager once for my work and the results were just unbelievable!!
