The most admired man

 

    Benjamin Franklin was a legend. He dedicated himself as a writer, publisher, philopsopher, scientist, politics, and so on. The most surprised me was that his formal schooling was less than 2 years but read many books, wrote enormous newspapers articles, discovered electricity, and invented iron rods. Although he had neither formal training nor grounding in math, he undertook a vast amount of what he called " scientific amusements".

I like his word: " As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of the opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously." Therefore he never patented any of his inventions.

No wonder that Charlie Munger admires him the most. Benjamin studies many different branches of science. His scientific observations and developments contributed a lot to the community and the world. Without Benjamin Franklin, I think that America will not be strong and independent as the current situation. 

    Based on my observation, the vital characteristic is consistency and keep enthusiastic in many kinds of aspects. Do not be afraid to learn something that seems like very difficult to you, embrace yourself to be a good learner from now.
