The Da Vinci Code


"The genius of Leonardo resides not just in what he created but in what he can inspire us to create


1) Curiosita: Approaching life with insatiable curiosity and an unrelenting quest for continuous learning

2) Dimostrazione: Committing to test knowledge through experience, persistence and a willingness to learn from mistakes

3) Sensazione: Continually refining the senses, especially sight, as the means to enliven  experience

4) Sfumato: Embracing ambiguity, paradox and uncertainty

5) Arte/Scienza: Balancing science and art, logic and imagination - ‘whole-brain thinking’

6) Corporalita: Cultivating grace, ambidexterity, fitness and poise

7) Connessione: Recognizing and appreciating the interconnectedness of all things – ‘systems thinking’"


I saw a certain unity in the seven attributes discussed through the book. I have my own theory of 'One Thing' (http://sk-driftwoodstories.blogspot.com/2012/08/one-thing.html-the link takes to the original post on my public blog)and as  I mulled over the seven key things discussed in the book. I tried to synthesis them into one guiding principle.
As we sat down in a group discussing about the different aspects of the book, we again came back to  putting the message across in one statement. And perhaps that would be 'to immerse in life' and explore each day a new question, a new experience.
