Next year, it will be 500 years since Leonardo da Vinci passed away. Yet, his amazing life still inspires millions of people every day.

Some of the items might not immediately speak to the reader, but we should remember that Da Vinci never wrote this list for a reader of The Optimist Daily in 2018.
