Man was aware of the potential for technology to revolutionize the world more than 500 years back. He set out to revolutionize the world, and he did that. He imagined flying machines, an armored combat vehicle and concentrated solar power. an adding machine, and the double hull, also outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics.But this man was not an nerd or geek in today's terms. He was an artist and an avid pupil of philosophy, biology, and the humanities. He was aware that science without an understanding of human nature was just play that had no purpose or meaning.Leonardo da Vinci, painter of The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa was centuries ahead of his time when he showed us that technology for technology's sake will simply occupy time rather than unleash the full potential of humanity.Here are some of his most insightful musings.1. "Learning never ceases to exhaust the mind.2. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."3. "Time lasts sufficient for all who needs it."4. I admire people who smile even in the worst of circumstances, who be able to overcome stress and can reflect about their errors. It's the job of small minds to shrink. However, those who have a strong heart, and whose conscience approves their actions, will adhere to their principles unto death."5. "Poor is the student who does not surpass his teacher."
