How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day

Recently I've read a book about Leonardo Da Vinci's life and practices that he has been doing in his life. I am very pleased with the book and I would recommend it for everyone to read it. The book is for the seven principles that Leonardo had led through his life.


These principles are:
  • Curiosita: An insatiably curious approach to life.
  • Dimonstratzione: A commitment to test knowledge through experience.
  • Sensazione: The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the means to clarify experience.
  • Sfumato: A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty.
  • Arte/Scienza: The development of the balance between science and art, logic, and imagination ("whole-brain thinking").
  • Corporalita: The cultivation of ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.
  • Connessione: A recognition and appreciation for the connectedness of all things and phenomena; "systems thinking."

Talented Project Management

I and my colleague have been working on a web application for Project Management, called Talented Project Manager. The application was built for our post-graduate studies at FEIT Skopje.

This is a web application for managing projects within small or middle companies. The main purpose of this application is that when the project manager creates projects and tasks for the project, all assigned team members can collaborate within the project. The application core is a wiki engine so all team members can write wiki pages. Can create and edit existing wiki pages. Can assign already created wiki pages to new tasks etc. Also, other media types are available to be assigned to tasks such as videos and documents. The video media is in .flv format and the documents can be pictures, word documents, pdf documents, and others.



The application can be accessed here.

The user manual is here.
