    From _How to Think Like Leonardo di Vinci: 7 Steps to Genius Every Day_
by Michael J. Gelb:

    - _Curiosita'_ - insatiable curious approach to life & continous learning
("hands-on" a la Montesorri School &/or "Brain Gym")

    -_ Dimostrazione_ - commitment to test knowledge through experience,
persistence, & trial-&-error

    - Sensazione_- refinement of the senses as means to enliven experience

    - _Sfumato_ (literally: "going up in smoke") - willingness to embrace
ambiguity, paradox, & uncertainty (a la Chaos Science, Taoism, John Cage's &
Udo Kasemet's music. etc)

    -_Arte/Scienza_ - development of balance 'tween sciences & art,
logic & imagination ("brain balancing," "Holistic Cerebral Integration")

    - _Corporalita_ - cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, & poise
(& perhaps whimsy & mischief, too)

    - _Connessione_ - recognizing & appreciating the overall
interconnectedness/co-interdependence of all things & phenomena
(a la Taoism, "Systems Thinking," Cybernetics, Gaian Concept, etc.)

    enuff said, never enuff done...
