Get your brain in motion
The Diplo calendar 2020 realized by Stefano Baldi presents a selection of quotes for better living and better working.
The selected quotes are by well-known as well as lesser known Italian men and women that can inspire us in our daily life.
Here is the selected quotation for the month of June
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else

The theme of Diplocalendar 2013 was inspired by Mark Twain’s quotation that: “The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them”.
Diplomats, like many other professionals, must read, understand, synthesise and make sense of newspapers, magazines, emails, official reports and so many other things related to their daily work. But there is so much else to read both for pleasure and to deepen our knowledge.
The selected book suggested for the month of April that supports professional development and is relevant to management in diplomacy is Michael J. Gelb’s Think Like Da Vinci
