Welcome to Litsy!

My reading goal of 2020 is to read just 10 books.

I've got several other BIG goals like becoming a data scientist, getting stronger and leaner, and becoming the best leader I can be at my job through planning and organizing.

If I'm spending most of my free time learning data science and exercising, that doesn't leave me much time for reading..... But since I'm doing a great job organizing my time already, I might surpass my goal!

To 2020!!!

Stopped by Starbucks today and was pleasantly surprised to see this display in the pick up your beverage area! 👏🏻📚☕️#goodjobstarbucks

This book was published in 1998. So far, Leonardo's wisdom has stood the test of 500 years better than Gelb's has for twenty.

I'm going to wipe away a rueful tear at this point because it's either that or give a derisive snort.

I forgot to post last week's #bookhaul
I have an able mind, for sure, but I suspect it is more akin to a backyard magpie's than to Leonardo's.

Really, really enjoyed this book. Both illuminating and enlightening.

@clconn17 https://youtu.be/6Z38VE5xlMU Yes! There's gotta be more...

"Learning a new language is a popular ideal hobby and a wonderful way to cultivate Curiositá. Like Leonardo, you can learn a new language at any age."

@clconn17 is kicking my butt on the leaderboard, and @Eamann needs more fire under his butt to practice each day!

"Confusion endurance" is the most distinctive trait of highly creative people, and Leonardo probably possessed more of that trait than anyone who has ever lived. Principle number four---Sfumato---guides you to be more at home with the unknown, to make friends with paradox.

Day8 #seasonsreadings2016 #artrelatedbooks I appreciate art & love to go look at it in museums & galleries when I get the chance, but I don't have a lot of books related to it. Most of what I do have (outside of a few novels & mysteries where it plays a role in the story) tends to lean toward creativity & color. I let most of my creative passions out via cooking/styling food, blogging & writing, but occasionally I dabble in a simple art project.💜
