Confidence, Helping Me Achieve My Destiny: October 2009

Da Vinci was a true renaissance man because he was one of the notable individuals who made the renaissance what it was. It is brilliant men like Da Vinci that helped us get where we are today technologically. Back in the day Da Vinci was already thinking about flying machines, tanks, canals, giant guns and bringing the simpler, more testable ones to life. Back in Da Vinci's day he could only build a few of the miracles he thought up but today, when his machines are brought to life, they actually work. Many of the models in the museum shocked me with their usefulness and many of them looked really intimidating. Da vinci did a good job of making weapons even though he was a pacifist. Da Vinci was a very secretive man and rightly so because if he hadn't been secretive he wouldn't have gotten all the credit for his work but the bad thing about his secrecy is that the world was robbed of lots of his brilliant ideas when he died because nobody understood him and he was truly one of a kind. Da Vinci was the master of making marvels and is in my opinion a true renaissance man.
