Leonardo's 2nd principle dimostrazione
Test knowledge through experience, persistence, & learn from your mistakes Leonardo referred to himself as a disciple of experience.

Develop and nurture confidence allowing mistakes to be made but encouraging their ability to do anything they set their mind to. Treat mistakes as opportunities for the acceptance of feedback giving room to grow and ability to learn. Respectfully nurture their self esteem. Do not fake praise in an adverse situation.
Self assessment: challenge your own view, think independently, acknowledge own error, learn from your mistakes and articulate your fundamental beliefs by backing up with own reasons to hold them.
