It reminds of Gov Schwarzenegger recently saying he doesn't exist in a vacuum, and that mentors are key.
A large part of these are not "do X"; they are in "get Y person to show me how they do X".
We can be thankful of the Messer Fazio, Brera Friar, Giannino, Benedetto Potinari, Maestro Antonio, Mastro Giannetto, Maestro Giovanni and Vitolone who gave us Leonardo.
- jaclaz 10y agoJFYI, there is a typo in the linked to text, Benedetto Portinari, it's the same Florentine family of Beatrice Portinari, he was the nephew of the more famous Tommaso Portinari: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommaso_Portinari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommaso_Portinari The "graphical rendition" on the original site has it correct: http://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2011/11/18/142467882/leonardos-to-do-list http://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2011/11/18/142467882/le... BTW - still to be picky - the linked article is 2014, whilst the original article by NPR's Robert Krulwich is 2011. The whole Leonardo's Notebooks are available here (in a different edition/translation by Jean Paul Richter): https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Notebooks_of_Leonardo_Da_Vinci https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Notebooks_of_Leonardo_Da_... https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Notebooks_of_Leonardo_Da_Vinci/XXII https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Notebooks_of_Leonardo_Da_...
