A letter from Franklin's thirteen people

A letter from Franklin's thirteen people

Question: Franklin of the United States and modern Schwarzenegger, Zeng guofan of modern China and Li Ka-shing of Modern China are examples of my life.

Next, I extract Franklin's 13 articles of life.

1. Moderate: you cannot eat too much or drink too much.
2. Silence: do not be bored. It is helpful to talk about people.
3. Order: The items of life should be placed in order and work hours should be reasonably arranged.
4. determination: make up your mind to do what you want to do.
5. Frugal: Do not waste it. Any cost is beneficial, whether it is for yourself.
6. Diligence: cherish every moment of time, remove unnecessary actions, and do useful work diligently.
7. sincerity: no harm to others, no deception. We should consider the case fairly and reasonably, and make the speech based on the actual situation.
8. Justice: Do not harm others and fulfill their obligations.
9. Moderate: Avoid any extreme tendencies and try to restrain retaliation.
10 clean: clean your body, clothes, and residences.
11. Calm: eliminate unnecessary troubles. That is, things that are trivial, common, and inevitable and not smooth.
12. Chastity: less housework, never make the body weak, poor life, unless for the sake of health or the needs of future generations. Do not damage your reputation or peace of mind.

13. Humble: take Jesus and Socrates as examples.
