14 years ago it must have been. The start of this particular journey. Yes, it has changed with time, yet the straightness of my paths have been the same. Loops here and there, sidetracks and bumps. However always with the sight ahead. Straight. Tender steps. Humbleness.

I found it again – a set of keys forgotten. I locked them up in a box of memories and let them fade there with “things to keep”.

Now, “things to keep” only to hold them in boxes, grow into weights on shoulders without conscious thought.

And here they are reinvented into my brain. Lightening almost, over my mind’s sky – pushing the cloak away from my self.

Remember? 

Yes…?

And another look.  

HA! Yes I do!

See, I would have loved to chitchat with Leonardo da Vinci, but I presume that a chat with him would have not been as I expect. Mostly because most of his work has been understood after his death, and theories have sprouted and sprung from all things he created. He was remarkable without a doubt, but was he aware of all that he did? I wonder.

Leonardo da Vinci is said to have been the ultimate multi-tasker: an accomplished scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician, and writer. He wrote the 7 steps, which should bring one into the mind of “How To Think”.

The first is Curiosità. Curiosità is an “insatiably curious approach to life and unrelenting quest for continuous learning”.

Great minds have one characteristic in common: they continuously ask questions throughout their lives. Leonardo’s endless quest for truth and beauty clearly demonstrates this. What makes great minds different is the quality of their questions. You can increase your ability to solve problems by increasing your ability to ask good questions. Like da Vinci, you should cultivate an open mind that allows you to broaden your universe and increase your ability to explore it.

Here are some ways to apply Curiosità:

- Keep a journal. Bring a journal wherever you go and use it often. Write your ideas and thoughts there. Try to write several statements a day that start with “I wonder why/how…”

- Observe according to a theme. Choose a theme and observe things according to the theme for a day. For example, let’s say you choose “communication”. For the entire day, observe every type and instance of communication you come across. You can then record your observations in your journal.

- Stream of consciousness exercise. Pick a question and write the thoughts and associations that occur to you as they are. Don’t edit them. The important thing is to keep writing. This is also referred to as freewriting.

Ahh yes. Of course I remember.

It is time to do it again and bring you with me.
