Leonardo Da Vinci Quote

Quote Of The Day

Leonardo Da Vinci Quote:

Leonardo Da Vinci Quote

What’s Up With Pooj?

For those of you that are curious about my wrist injury, it’s very slowly but surely getting better. Typing isn’t painful for me or anything although my hand is still sore. But cooking has been really difficult. I was making a salad for lunch and dinner today and chopping those veggies really took it out of me.

In other news, I recently finished Derry Girls. Can’t believe there are no more episodes of it. Why didn’t they have more episodes per season?? I now have a Derry Girls sized hole in my heart. If anyone has recommendations for similar shows they enjoyed, please let me know in the comments below.

As for the Leonardo Da Vinci quote, I really like this one because I’m someone who doesn’t like getting out of my comfort zone but have been trying to do that more often. Like even when I want to say no and just stay home, I say yes and do stuff instead. Usually, I’m always glad I did do something instead of nothing. It’s always worth it to do rather than regret.

    I’m a big believer in the quote, in some ways it guided me to do all I have done. We need to do things for ourselves, and if we keep taking even baby steps each day, they add up, trust me!

    There were days and weeks I was only able to do baby steps, so that’s all I did for a long while. Then, when I looked back, I saw I had been able to slowly accomplish what I dreamed of doing!

    And I too have felt that it is important not to live a passive life, but I can be a huge homebody myself. I’ll do things for work and school but it can be hard to do things otherwise.
    I am really loving “Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess”, the debut album from Chappell Roan. I am hooked on it.

    The only reason why I’ve considered watching Derry Girls is because of Nicola. So definitely let me know if it’s worth watching. Right now I’m watching Sweet Mangolias it gives off a very Hallmark vibe that I am welcoming with open arms.

    I think it is a good quote. It is so easy to get used to your comfort zone but if you want to accomplish thinks you need to make things happen. On Wednesday I am going to visit a dark site in Oklahoma but during the day. After doing that during the day I can do it during the night. A dark site is a place that is very far from any light, any city, any houses, and roads, and you are not allowed to use flash lights or phones, it is completely pitch dark. It is for amateur astronomy and a way to almost completely escape light pollution.

      Oh wow, that sounds great. We have an area like that in Kenya that I hope to visit at some point. Light pollution is a big issue, we miss so many astronomical events due to it. Hope you enjoy your time at the dark site.

    Hey Pooja, Derry Girls sounds like a great show. The only Irish coming of age story I know of is Angela’s Ashes, it’s about a boy but if you can imagine yourself as a boy it’s quite entertaining. I always think of my character as a male ever since I was 5 years old. So I can relate to their problems, not all of them of course.
    This week I’m listening to the eighties song, let me see, it’s a one hit wonder called Don’t Dream it’s Over by Crowded House. Very nostalgic!
    Last week we went camping, it was great yet way too short. Time flies when you have fun 🙂

      Glad you enjoyed the camping. Yes, time flies too fast when we’re having fun.

    I would add to the quote that people with legendary accomplishments inspire a host of other people to aid in achieving visions to revolutionize our world that no one else could see or imagine, sometimes over hundreds or thousands of years. Leonardo Da Vinci was definitely one of those.

    Love this quote. Learned so much more about him on my trip to Rome last year. He was definitely a man who did not sit back and we would all be lucky if we have even a fraction of his go-getterism!
    I often struggle getting out of my comfort zone until I give myself a dose of tough love (its what works for me) and I just do it. Figure out how you’re best motivated and you’ll be like, “pshh, what comfort zone?!?!”

    Pooja, great quote, and very true. I suppose we all have that inherent inertia…and as you note, we’re almost always glad we made the decision to get off the couch 😂

    Hope your wrist feels better. I’ve been watching “Alone,” this reality show where they drop 10 contestants off in the middle of nowhere and the last one left wins $500USD. There’s no production crew, no camera people, nobody. They’re all given a 65-lb camera and film themselves. When they’re done, they use a sat phone to call for a pickup.

    It’s fascinating to see how they build shelters, find food and water, explore, talk to themselves (into the camera). This season they’re up in the Canadian Arctic, on the Great Slave Lake, and it’s 20F during the day, plunging much more at night. So interesting!

    When I was much younger, I read a book called “How to Think Like DaVinci” which gave a lot of tips for growing your creativity in several areas of your life. I don’t think it was possible to follow all the advice in the book unless you were unemployed and had no social life, but some of it stuck with me such as sketching things you see out and about so that you really “see” them.

      Hmm that’s interesting. I guess sketching things would force you to pay attention to the details. You should write a book about an artist turned PI who sketches things and find clues for murder cases!
