Contrary to the book's theme, there are too many errors within it. There are instances where the content was intentionally summarized again using diagrams, but even those diagrams contain errors. Also, you deliberately place a lot of summaries in the left margin (you mentioned that this is a good way to write proposals), but I think this is just a matter of personal preference. With summaries appearing countless times in the left margin, the content was interrupted throughout the entire reading
This book was co-authored by Wan-Cheol Heo, a manager at Samsung Electronics currently pursuing a doctoral degree at Yonsei University, and Professor Bong-Kyu Lee of the Graduate School of Information at Yonsei University. It covers the process of visualizing and reviewing thoughts by drawing them. Although the concepts and methodologies presented in the book may seem somewhat unfamiliar, they are actually commonly used in our daily lives. Thanks to this, reading the book was interesting as it
In human history, pictures have preceded writing in every civilization. Before the advent of writing, pictures likely served as a substitute. While the detailed depiction of characters is an excellent means for continuously developing knowledge, information, and culture for future generations, there is no doubt that pictures were a valuable tool to replace writing before its birth. In that sense, pictures were humanity's first form of writing. Card news, which once seemed lighthearted with

To explain it more simply, it involves expressing and recording information and thoughts using both text and pictures.

Heo Wan-cheol et al.: Visual Thinking and Presentation
What is the relationship between visualizing thoughts and systems? While designing systems is the primary occupation of engineers, I believe that visualizing and concretizing thoughts is the first step in the design process. The process involves starting out without knowing what you are, listening to client requirements, formulating a specific procedure, consulting, securing a contract, and ultimately building the system exactly as envisioned; it is said that the first step in this process was drawing and organizing those thoughts. This is precisely the author's greatest motivation for writing this book: "Organizing thoughts by drawing and designing systems." Based on the experiences learned and honed since the early days of his career while working in the system design industry for over 30 years, the book contains invaluable know-how. Part 1 covers everything from the motivation behind starting to visualize systems to various examples of diagrams used in design and practical applications, while also summarizing the concepts of systems and system engineering. Part 2 presents specific methods for logically visualizing thoughts and effectively expressing them, while Part 3 offers practical examples to aid in understanding projects and preparing proposals and presentations necessary for securing business contracts, all aimed at applying these concepts to actual business operations. Most of the diagrams, illustrations, etc. included in this book are based on what the author created or used directly or indirectly in actual field practice.
