Sprezzatura....
To start with, Sprezzatura is not an English word!!... Its an Italian word...So your vocabulary still holds good:)
To continue with, fundamentally, sprezzatura is the ability to make difficult things look easy.....hmmmm...lets understand it!!
It's simply astonishing that in this day and age in sports for example, a player who so conspicuously embodies this notion of sprezzatura can be the leading player of his generation. Like Federer, Tendulkar, Tiger woods... (I am a Sports Lover all my life). When they play, sports look more like an art without any difficulties!!

Okay, in any case... great guys make life look lot simpler and easy!
People become fan of them, praise them, become crazy, but making their life lot farther from simple!.. and they keep popping the question - How can this happen to me? or why this always happens with me ??
Some people idealize Greats, get inspired, apply commonsense and create the history for themselves..... Life seems to be simple n easy!.. at least in the eyes of people who didn't change their conventional attitude...
Fact is, I am still in the former category!... but trying not to in future!!
Few days back, I was in a meeting and a lovely lady was explaining few things in between.... she had nice vocabulary, accent and most of the people were silently admiring her!!...Here is the catch, her explanation made things complicated with all those Jargons, bookish words....result - Confusion!
I was thinking, why can't they present in simple words and diagrams instead...which makes life lot easier!!
I got reminded that, Life is simple, don't make it complicated!!
OOPPSSSS..... Serious POST!!
I love one of the Einstein's quote,
“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
well....think for sometime...what exactly he meant :-)... I love Einstein's words...so complex, yet so simple!...
Now to end this post with a simpler note.... Let me take another quote from inspiring Einstein...
“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough”
hmmmm.... Do I understand Sperzzatura!!!!...When I read this post once, first thing came to my mind is, Random :).. made it both complicated and simple!!
PS: I keep doing sketches with my black ball pen in office(when it is boring!).. Thought this pic would fit in this article :)
