About Me / Contact Me david@thoughtoftheweek.co.uk		Life Balance the Da Vinci Way - WEEK 38 *Reading Time 1 minute 16 seconds* FOR A PODCAST OF THIS THOUGHT CLICK HERE Or Ipod Users Click Here I was flicking though an old carton book when I came across this cartoon sketch from Gary Larson. I thought how true to life it was. Yes how often I act like the gift schoolboy, trying to solve my problems by pushing harder and harder Spending more and more time at work. As Leonardo Da Vinci said. "Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen." So my colleagues and me took a couple of days out of our hectic schedules. It was incredible what we were suddenly able to see and understand. So rather than just working harder and harder, burning the candle at both ends, trying to do more in an already busy life. Why don’t you get away from your desk, work or computer and give your gifted self, the time to see the sign on the doors of your problems. Till next week, get things done the intelligent and easy way. David Gardner
