@sei.come.sei: We think of Leonardo da Vinci as an untouchable genius, a one-in-a-millennium mind we could never come close to. Walter Isaacson, who wrote the definitive biography, says that is exactly the wrong lesson. Da Vinci was self-taught, left half his projects unfinished, and made basic math mistakes. He willed his way to genius through habits you can actually copy. These are the ones Isaacson pulled from thousands of pages of Leonardo's notebooks. They are almost word for word his own, because he already said it perfectly. Go read the book. It is a masterpiece. Credit and inspiration: Walter Isaacson via his biography *Leonardo da Vinci*
