During the time humanity exists there were a lot of periods people made discoveries to influence their culture and society for many centuries. These discoveries were connected with the opportunities of getting knowledge. Who would say the knowledge is not the power? It is! First, it was the language to share the important information about hunting and living in a certain place. Language made it possible to gain much life experience than a person could have living not so long, if we compare ancient people with the modern. Information was shared orally and to keep in their memory a lot of information people invented songs to share it by the singing. This way poetry appeared.

The second stage was the invention of writing. The centers of scholarship appeared with the people who wrote first books. The books were rare and only the first priests and kings had access to them. Time passed and books spread across the world, although very expensive and difficult to find for simple people.

Printing press invention became the third stage - information at last became available almost to every wishing person and it had its consequences. A person could educate himself to have experience in all the spheres he or she wished to have. The Renaissance started and a very interesting phenomenon appeared - a human type of "Uomo Universale", or, in simple words, a person who has got profound knowledge in different spheres to develop his potential in full. One and maybe the best-known Renaissance man is Leonardo Da Vinci. He became the archetypal personality to incarnate the realized human potential leaving behind the design of the parachute, anatomical sketches, not speaking about his paintings. He, the brightest example of a human genius, was the result of the Information revolution of the printing press. Most national languages in Europe appeared with literature. Printing press ruined the monopoly of the Catholic church on the information and information became available for the people to realize that they can create their own churches and countries, independent and free in their strive for happiness.

XX century has brought a lot of geniuses, but the last Information revolution which started with the invention of the PC and Internet just started to show its results. Internet made the information available for every person in the world. Knowledge has become unsorted and, so to say "postmodern", ideologies which ruled the yesterday's world have been shaken with the relativistic approach of a modern person. At the same time, smart people started to realize this hidden potential of the internet for their personal development.

"Da Vinci people" appeared. Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Ben Cohen, George Lucas, Bono... You can't count them all. These people have something in common which makes the world a different place. A better place.

This holiday till the middle of the XX century was celebrated only in Catholic countries, but do you know how St Valentine has become the global holiday? It happened because of marketers. Usually, after the Christmas celebrations people don't will to buy as much goods as they bought for the holidays and marketers, having noticed that season fall in selling, decided to make some reason for the buyer be active in the "worst" selling period. They found out that the only countries where this period is not as much marked by the goods selling fall were Catholic countries and started advertising campaigns of their goods promoting St Valentine - The Holiday of All Lovers.

We do not take into account the reasons when we love. We seek the ways to show our love. And St Valentine's Day is such a way. The puzzle of love is a mystery, although all we can know is either we love or we don't. Happy St Valentine's to All Who Love!
