INTRODUCING THE NEW RENAISSANCE MAN and WOMAN
Today’s Silver Generation is expected to have more
opportunities to enjoy life and to live longer – to live healthier, better and more
productive lives than ever before.
Research has shown that the information we learn well is
used on an ongoing basis. Information
learned well is retained longer because we have an extreme interest in the
subject matter or because we need to know it.
What we learn well is processed into the section of our brain that holds
long term memory for recall at any time. Besides retaining information,
findings also indicate that we have the ability to learn throughout our life
time, (which gives us an opportunity to amass a wide breath of knowledge and
wisdom). This means that you are, or
have the capability to be, the New 21st Century Renaissance Person.
Merriam-Webster defines “Renaissance man” as a person who has wide interests and is
expert in several areas. During the European
Renaissance of the 14th – 17th centuries, the Renaissance
person was expected to be well rounded in education and life with an
understanding of multiple languages, philosophy, science, literature, art and
so on. Today, with the advent of the
Internet, learning is as quick as pinching or tapping a screen and clicking, (“Old
School”), your mouse.
Explore your future and explore your past. (I explored my family’s past, Journey Into a
Dark Past, which set me on travels to a foreign land
where I gained new insight and perspective about my roots, family members and
our history. My journey enriched my life.)
Enrich your
life. Embrace your Renaissance-ness –
embrace you!
