Over 500 years ago it was a man who imagined how technology could revolutionize the world. He had a plan to completely alter the course of the universe. He developed flying machines, an armored battle vehicle, a concentrated sun power as well as an add machine as well as the double-hull. He also outlined an essential theory of plate tectonics. But this man wasn't an expert. He was an artist and a student of physiology, philosophy as well as the humanities. He was aware that science without an understanding of human nature is just play that had no purpose or meaning.Leonardo da Vinci, artist of The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa was centuries ahead of his time in showing us that technology used for its own sake will only occupy time, rather than unleashing the best in humanity.Here are some of his most insightful musings.1. "Learning never gets boring. "Simplicity is the highest level of sophistication." "Time lasts sufficient for all who needs it."4. "I love those who can smile in the face of trouble, who gather strength from distress and gain courage through reflection. It is easy for little minds to shrink. But they who have a strong heart and whose conscience approves of their conduct won't be influenced by it. "Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master."
