"Monday 5 Things" with D. Paul Graham.....Touch & Go's.....
.....Touch & Go's.....For as long as I can remember, I have had this intense, unrelenting personal love affair with speed and with flight.

"Monday 5 Things" with D. Paul Graham.....Art of Sprezzatura.....
Sprezzatura is an Italian word coined by Renaissance author, Baldassare Castiglione, in ‘The Book of the Courtier’. Castiglione took 20 years to write the book and it was published just before he died in 1558. He defined sprezzatura as “art which does not seem to be an art.” In other words, when you act and live your life naturally, seemingly effortlessly with a certain nonchalance; a joie de vie, or to stick with today’s Italian tema, a gioia della vita. This morning’s M5T was written with sprezzatura with a nod to the art of living as such.
