True Renaissance man



Leornado Da Vinci impacted the lives of many during the Renaissance but why? The reason is because he was a true Renaissance man. Renaissance means rebirth, and during those periods it was a rebirth of curiosity. Everyone during the Renaissance became curious of what was going around them. One of the people who were filled with curiosity was Leonardo Da Vinci. Leornado Da Vinci was one of the best known firgures of the Italian Renaissance. He was a painter, an inventor and a scientist willing to work hard to understand and create wondrous work that will impact many lives. Leornado Da Vinci created, many works for example the Mona Lisa to show that he can create art that would seem very realistic. An example to show he was an inventor was making the parachute. The parachute revealed that he was an inventor creating inventions that will help human lives. An example to show how he was a scientist was the Virturvian man, which shows the proportions of a human body. Leonardo Da Vinci was the perfect figure of a true Renaissance Man. Renaissance means the rebirth of curiosity and Leonardo Da Vinci's inquiry is what made him a True Renaissance man.

The March of Peace


His heart was full of love

Towards all human beings

Himself, he was truth incarnate

And gentle like a dove.

He travelled East and West

But what was his quest

It was for the country's sake

It was for the country's best.

He freed our country from the foreign yoke

In a non-violent way

And gave his life for the country's sake

Facing the bullet of astray.

Hail to the Bapuji

Hail, father of all my country men

You have left us a great legacy

Of truth and sharing with everyone.

You look so simple at the spinning wheel

yet glory of labour to us you have taught

To the teeming hungry millions

Hope you have brought.

Your noble pain we shall tread

And strive to keep our country free

From bare and selfish thoughts

And any kind of slavery.

Gandhi was a force not to be forgotten, he turned the world inside out as he was a leader that changed the world and influenced us that violence is not the right path to take. Working hard Gandhi fought the British not with guns, blood and death but with a peaceful desire to show the world that everyone is the same. From Sabarmati to Dandi Gandhi walked with many others in a protest of non-violence in order to free India from the control of the British, his legacy will remain in the hearts of billions of lives. Mahatma Gandhi, a true leader that changed the world with no deaths by any bullet. 

Freedom fights in the air of depression
Wrapped around an indestructible chain
Wondering about the glorious fields that lies ahead
In the book The Alchemist Paulo Coelho describes many different themes. One of the themes he describes was freedom. Paulo Coelho shows this trait in many ways one of the ways he describes the trait was how Santiago is able to grab on to freedom and made his way out of being a normal old shepherd. He looked toward his destiny and searched out of his boundaries to get it. This is how it reveals to us that if you work hard you can remove the chain you are locked in and head out to the free open space wondering and living with a purpose to achieve whatever you wish for. If you work hard, be persistent and never giving up you can move towards your full potential.
