A renaissance person, also known as a "polymath", refers to a person with many talents or interests, and is talented academically, athletically, and in etiquette. Renaissance people are well-balanced and well-educated in lots of different areas. The term "renaissance person" comes from the multiple artists and scholars of the European Renaissance in about 1450, who pursued numerous fields of studies.

Be musical and artsy. During the Renaissance, music was an important value in people's daily lives. A renaissance person was expected to sing, take an instrument, or compose their own music. Although some people today may not have an interest in music, it is  Tiffanyjewelryscheap still an important thing to know a bit about. Consider taking up a certain instrument, like guitar, piano, flute, harp, etc. (in the Renaissance, organ was the main instrument) and learn to sing. Whether you sing alone or publicly, know some things about the hobby. Writing your own music is not necessary, but certainly is helpful. In terms of art, the renaissance was developing hundreds of different techniques in their paintings. Today, however, a renaissance person should basically know how to draw and paint a bit. Some people are born with the natural talent of art, and some art not as skilled in the subject, but either way, one should be familiar with the aspects of it.

Depending on your occupation or interests, you may not need to know some of the things a person knew in the Renaissance, but if you enjoy learning about different areas, educate yourself. Renaissance people wrote books, music and plays, studied law, physics and mathematical arts, participated in medical schooling, and learned about the making of ships, shoes, books, writing utensils, and other popular inventions. Look at some of these things, and consider becoming more educated in these topics.

Have a good family and economic life. In times of the Renaissance, people were expected to have good, well-paying jobs, stupendous weddings, and large families of nine to ten.

Fighting  Cheap Tiffany Jewelry is actually somewhat looked down upon today, but you can be brave in other ways. Although medication developed during the Renaissance, the life-expectancy was not normally past sixty, and many children died of natural causes before their seventh birthday. Today, the life expectancy is higher and most children will live longer, but you can be brave in sickness and death. In the renaissance period, being helpful and assisting other people in times of trouble was expected. One-tenth of the income in the middle ages was given to the church, and in the Renaissance, they were expected to give some money and goods to those who weren't as lucky. Today, charity is a huge part of life. Some children nowadays ask for only donations to charity as presents for birthdays or holidays, and businesses in helping the hungry, poor, and sick are very common. In the renaissance, etiquette was considered the most important value in daily life. Many books were written about how one should act in the Renaissance, like The Courtier or The Prince. Today, there are books like that too, like, Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers or American Girl's A (smart) Girl's Guide to Manners. Whether you've read them or not, a renaissance person http://www.tffanyjewelryscheap.com/ should be polite to their elders, and respectful of their neighbors opinions. A renaissance person should be modest (but not around those who don't necessarily agree), gentle, and reserved. One should have excellent etiquette with the opposite sex, and should have good manners in entertaining. A real renaissance person is a person who helps others and cares for their neighbors. Do not teach others about being a renaissance person or be particularly corrective about it. If they want advice, give them gentle tips, but if not, keep it to yourself. Inspire your neighbors with your talents.
