4. Transitions of Courtly Love Shift from Middle Age emphasis of ideal man as a chivalrous knight, showing his prowess on the battlefield, to a more all round gentleman that must also be educated in the classics. Move to successful leader/entrepreneur That is ageless. Buffett (83) etc Baldassare Castiglione’s Courtier defined the Italian nobility and eventually influenced the rest of Europe.

5. Male Courtier – Qualities of a courtier include noble birth, profession of arms, stature and skills in arms, horsemanship, and other physical activities. A good “warrior spirit” – Described as having a cool mind, a good voice, proper bearing and gestures. – At the same time, he must have good knowledge of the humanities, classics, and how to draw and paint. Good “cultural accomplishments” – He does these all with a certain tact, a nonchalance or “sprezzatura”, or in other words, he must know when to use his characteristics

6. Female courtier Female Courtier – Entire grace and stature lies in conjunction with male – Males are somewhat dependent (or expected) to be in pursuit of a worthy female, else he has no chivalry or mirth. – Arguably, women can “shape” men in this regard and choose a pursuer, but in reality its comes down to which male is “better” – Thus we still have an emphasis on impression through status as opposed to our modern day notions of love based on personality.

7. “Therefore he who wishes to be a good pupil, besides performing his tasks well, must put forth every effort to resemble his master, and if it were possible, to transform himself into his master” Count Baldassare Castiglione, 1528

8. There are many who think that they are marvellous if they can simply resemble a great man in some one thing; and often they seize only on the defect he has.”

9. Life Expectancy

11. Life Expectancy Trends Today humans have an average life span of 31.99 years in Swaziland and 82 years in Japan. The oldest confirmed recorded age for any human ever born is 122 years of age, though some people are reported to have lived longer there are no records to confirm these claims. There are, of course, great variations in life expectancy statistics worldwide, mostly caused by differences in public health, medical care and diet from country to country. Climate also has an effect on what age you will live to, and the way data is collected can also be an important influence. There are also variations between various groups within single countries. For instance significant differences occur in life span expectancy between males and females in France and many other developed countries, with women tending to outlive men by five years and over. These gender differences have been steadily decreasing in recent years, with statistics showing male life expectancy improving at a faster rate than that of females. Source: disabled-world.com

27. “Practise in everything a certain nonchalance that shall conceal design and show that what is done and said is done without effort and almost without thought.”

28. “Men demonstrate their courage far more often in little things than in great.”
