"Do Work."- Every great man
Who do you find impressive? Recently I was asked the question and, upon further cerebration, the man who comes to the forefront of my mind is Leonardo Da Vinci. He is undoubtedly one of the most impressive men I have ever read about. Don't believe me? Well take a gander at his Wikipedia page and then tell me you're not impressed. The most awesome and downright amazing thing that I saw on his Wikipedia page was the number of titles that followed his name. There are 12 professions and skills that were used to describe what Da Vinci did and who he was. He was far from a one-trick pony.
After seeing all twelve of his professions, I couldn't help but question my own life--at least a little bit. Sure I'm a pretty good basketball player and student, but why don't I have a host of talents like the great Da Vinci? What would follow my name on a Wikipedia page? I have decided that there is no reason to not become as talented in as many fields as I possibly can--especially while I'm still young. So I'm off to become the next Da Vinci. Will I fail? Who knows. But I can't help but think I'm going to learn a whole lot in the process. And as I'm thinking about it: being well-versed in an innumerable amount of fields is definitely helpful in the game of life. Learning, at least I think, will help me become a better human being and more indestructible human being. In my path to emulate Da Vinci, I will no doubt become a harder human being to kill and that will be helpful in reaching my ultimate goal of becoming a United States Navy SEAL. I will be posting more frequently to share what I did/learned and hopefully the blog will remain/become a fun, informative and purposeful medium to share my thoughts on life.
Thanks for reading. JG
