Autobiografija (Benjamin Franklin)

Benjamin Franklin

Nevjerojatna knjiga o nevjerojatnom čovjeku koji je u životu odigrao više od deset istaknutih uloga.

Totalni čovjek – koji nam je djelom pokazao kako se radeći časno, ustrajno, marljivo te stalno učeći može napraviti mnogo, pomoći i društvu i sebi. Sretan, uspješan čovjek – Franklin! Kad bi barem danas imali među nama više „Franklina“! Tako je u neko doba svoga života, Franklin sjeo i zapisao trinaest vrlina i uputa po kojima bi se trebao ravnati, pogotovo one na koje do tada nije obraćao pažnju. To su: umjerenost (ne jedi do otupjelosti; ne pij do pripitosti), šutljivost (reci samo ono što može koristiti drugima, ili tebi samome; izbjegavaj tričave razgovore), red (odredi svakoj stvari svoje mjesto; odredi svakom dijelu svog posla svoje vrijeme), odluka (odluči uraditi ono što trebaš; neizostavno uradi ono što si odlučio), štedljivost (ne troši ni na što, osim na ono što koristi drugima ili tebi samome, tj. ne rasipaj ništa), marljivost (ne gubi vrijeme; budi uvijek zaposlen nečim korisnim; prekini sve nepotrebne djelatnosti), iskrenost (ne služi se lažima; misli pošteno i pravedno, a ako govoriš, govori isto tako), pravda (ne čini nikome nepravde, niti ne popuštaj dobročinstva, što ti je dužnost), čistoća (ne trpi nikakve nečistoće na tijelu, odijelu ili u stanu), spokojstvo (ne uznemiruj se zbog sitnica ili zbog običnih ili neizbježivih događaja), krepost (rijetko opći spolno, osim kada se radi o zdravlju ili potomstvu, ali nikad do zasićenosti i iznurenosti, ili da naškodiš svome, ili nečijem drugom miru ili ugledu), i napokon poniznost (ugledaj se u Isusa i Sokrata).
