Like "Mona Lisa"


Think of “Mona Lisa”, Leonardo da Vinci’s universally known masterpiece. If you look at the painting, you are mesmerized not so much by the young woman’s beauty and  enigmatic smile (which oceans of ink have been used to write about) but mainly by the mysterious fascination that the whole picture exercises on the mind of onlookers. I would call this “perfection” because, as any true masterpiece – be it a painting, a statue, a symphony, a building, a poem, a piece of prose etc. – it has a universal meaning. The artist was able to express a deep feeling that any human being can experience. Are you willing to accept the idea that the “stuff” you are made of is just what - and all that - you need in order to express your potential, in order to  make you the best you can be?
