We were to notice things others did not. I think this is similar to having curiosity about everything. <br />Sounds like a cool book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734872244414275341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745433199120381104.post-48660159309251375542011-01-23T11:11:18.493-08:002011-01-23T11:11:18.493-08:00“What does Thinking Like Leonardo” mean to me?
I ...“What does Thinking Like Leonardo” mean to me?<br /><br />I am so pleased to be working through “How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci” with a group of other interested people, and I am hoping to compare our differing reactions to Gelb’s interpretations of Leonardo processes. Over the next few weeks, I am challenging myself to do the drawing exercises in the book as well as the written exercises and quizzes to broaden my style of thinking and problem solving. I’ll let you know how it works out. <br /><br />In the section on Curiosita - curiosity – I was truly impressed with what I learned from the Theme Observation exercise, which I applied to cooking a family dinner. I noticed everything from how I peeled the vegetables and cut the meat to how I dealt with the washing up. I was aware of the little details of what I was doing, and not just automatically putting the carrots into the pot. And I started asking myself a lot of “why” questions. It felt like I was so focused on what I was doing. And it felt so good!<br /><br />I am looking forward to similar experiences with the other topics we will be covering. <br /><br />Thanks to SkartzBlog for getting this started! <br /><br />-MavisMavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124144040878852680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745433199120381104.post-53398743996206271022011-01-23T07:20:51.608-08:002011-01-23T07:20:51.608-08:00From Handsome Husband -
Normally I read your blog...From Handsome Husband - <br />Normally I read your blogs, offer my support from afar and smile. I could not resist the urge to comment on the subject of curiosity, and to move from my traditional role. For many years I had a beautiful saltwater aquarium in our living room. Many friends and acquaintances visiting our home frequently made the comment and said after seeing it, “I used to have a gold fish”. That comment always interested me. Occasionally, however, a friend or acquaintance would stop by and, after pausing at the sight of my beautiful aquarium, would ask questions like “Where does the saltwater come from?”, “How do you get that type of fish to your tank?”, “What about the chemicals”?, or “How difficult is this hobby?”. I was always intrigued by the inquisitive person whose curiosity had to contribute to him or her having a greater understanding of the world around them.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17485661455216172719noreply@blogger.com
