Ben Franklin

Benjamin Franklin otherwise known as Ben Franklin is one of the United States most famous people. For those of you who don’t know who Ben is, you are not an American because every student knows about one of the many of his greatest inventions. Ben has been looked up on by many other great scholars in order for them to learn from him. I think that Benjamin is probably one of the greatest people to live, well besides me.

Something interesting about Mr. Franklin is that he wasn’t always the smartest or brightest cats in his young age. When Ben was in his early teens he was a newspaper printer, and he also helped his brother in typing his newspapers. At the age of seventeen Benjamin had moved to the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia in 1723. Franklin also helped in the in the first public library, fire department and organized the first college in Philly. Benjamin Franklin was a very intelligent man at a very early age and earned that a human can work and do an activity on only five and a half hours. He also believed in not rushing to get something and to just let time help do something.

In his prime, Benjamin Franklin created a very famous Thirteen Virtues.

The three virtues that stood out to me or in a way a virtue that I do unknowingly, where that of Temperance, Resolution, Silence. Temperance is: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation which means that do not eat to where you are to full and you can’t do anything and drink not to elevation means that drink alcohol but not to drunkenness. Resolution as described by Franklin is perform what you ought to do and perform without failure. Silence on of my favorite ones is to speak not what may benefit you which is like not talking to anyone. Those are just three of the thirteen that Benjamin has talked about in becoming a better

man.
Benjamin, has created way to make yourself a better person. One of the ways that he made himself a better person is by making list on what he is or was going to do that day, and as the day went on he would mark off his that he has done the thing that he was supposed to do. On his list its been said that he would awake at five in the morning and go to sleep at around eleven. He also believed in eating and having a healthy life style would better him as a person. And he also believed that you should only eat at certain parts of the day to balance out what you have put out during that time.
In closing, it’s been said that Mr. Franklin was one of the greatest men to have ever lived. He was not only a bright man, but he has influenced many lives around him and after him. So he shows by himself that he and will be one of the greatest men to ever live and teach in the United States of America.
