More of Life's Lessons from Leonardo Da Vinci

As children, we were all relentlessly curious. Leonardo da Vinci never stopped asking questions. His example can inspire and teach us how to think creatively, tap our potential to the fullest and lead well balanced lives.

1. Keep a journal. Record your observations, ideas and questions in a notebook. Don’t focus on goals or results - just see where your thoughts lead.

2. Explore your ideal hobby. What would you want to learn if it could be anything at all. Then learn it - people who have done this say their lives are immeasurably richer.

3. Write down three of your beliefs about human nature, politics etc - and then make a case for the opposite belief. You’ll examine your views from multiple perspectives.

4. Write your response to the question "What would I do differently if I wasn’t afraid of making mistakes?" You’ll find, as did Leonardo, that you’re thinking for yourself rather than just accepting the word of others.
