This book describes the previous half of Benjamin Franklin's story, possibly due to my lack of understanding of the details and causes of the American War of Independence, resulting in a slightly bitter reading of the latter part. Franklin, for most people, may be the school of Franklin in order to verify that the clouds above the electricity can be guided to the ground, in a thunderstorm and kite flying story, read this book will find this is only the smallest part of Franklin's achievements, it can be said that this is his hobby. I think his greatest accomplishment is in philosophy, literature and politics. Franklin from a very small like reading, later engaged in printing work has the opportunity to read more books, can be said that he later in any aspect of the achievements have played a role in the foreshadowing. When he was young, he would set up a book club, a library, a fire brigade and other organizations to provide him with a good opportunity to hone his political work. Franklin's social skills are not mentioned in the autobiography, but we can see that his social skills should be the cornerstone of his success. From the beginning of his home in Boston, he was left alone to go to Philadelphia, in the middle of a few times almost killed, did not eat, all through the help of others to tide over the difficulties, and later in Philadelphia successfully opened a printing factory and big, which is related to his friends, without these friends help, it is clear that his chances of success will be doubled I think his friends are willing to help Franklin, Franklin, some of the personal accomplishment and reputation should be the reason, the young Franklin made a mistake, unmarried let a girl pregnant, and later in London would like to and friend's girlfriend ambiguous, resulting in a break with friends. But with the increase in age and experience, he has been aware of the importance of personal accomplishment, produced a self-discipline table, records those who did and did not do the moral principles, self-examination, slowly change their bad habits and character. Diligence is a must for successful people, Franklin certainly can not lack, childhood poverty so that Franklin's life is diligent. The book mentions the Neighbours ' high evaluation of his diligence. In fact, I am deeply aware recently that diligence is important to a person, not only to improve personal knowledge and ability, but also to affect others ' evaluation of you. I think no one will because a person diligently upward and despise one of him. Many people regard Franklin as the mentor of life, and Franklin's thought, because of the personal understanding of American culture and the understanding of Western democracy is very shallow, this piece is not introduced, this piece should have a great influence on the American people.
