The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
In this term, I read the book The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, in the book, he showed us what his childhood was like and what he came to value as meaningful and worthwhile techniques of communication, conduct, and self-improvement.Franklin was not in favorable growth environment, and it should be a relatively plain appearance.In 1706 he was born in North America, the home Top 15 of 17 children.His Father is involved in wax and soap as a small businessman, Franklin entered the school for about two years before dropping out of school because of family distress.Then he went to work as an apprentice in his brother’s printing shop, the apprentice days was very difficult, but he did a good use of the apprenticeship leisure time to study hard, and read a lot of books in politics, science, history and literature.He was also proficient in the use of French, Italian, Spanish and Latin by himself.In 1726 Franklin manages a printing factory, it was a great success which created a legend of the American dream, and he printed a huge impact “Pennsylvania”.He invented the lightning rod, dual-purpose glasses, new stove and new lights.He pioneered the North American colonies the slogan that is “not join are the death” and drafted out the drafting of“ Declaration of Independence ”published in 1771 which changed the fate of countless people, and this book gave a description of its process of growth and exhorted the people to be positive.there are a lot of Proverbs in this book that Franklin felt in his life, reading this book is not only to feel the sentiment, but also to combine their training and humanity and then to improve ourselves, the book describes each chapter are a true portrayal of his life and tell us how to get all the perception which inspired me very much
In his view, reading is the key to success.Book is invaluable he greatest joy.Books give us wisdom, strengthen our determination and let us have the wisdom of the trip of our life.Franklin attaches great importance to his own virtue.Therefore, he proposed to 13 requirements for himself namely: control, quiet, orderly life, determination, frugality, diligence, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility.He has been trying to do that, though he cannot completely meet the requirements, but he was persistent.The people who can meet the 13 requirements can be called “saints” of the fact that people are rarely perfect, but it can pursue such a perfect people in the United States and Germany who have achieved great success.My goal is to cultivate
these virtues in himself, so I think it is best not to try all at once, I think it is very difficult, or in a period of time focused on one thing for the good.I will cultivate this virtue into habit, and then in another culture.So I arranged for the virtues of moderation training at first, because it needs to stay calm and think clearly.This cool-headed and clear thinking is necessary;the only way to always be vigilant is to resist the inertia of old habits and curb the temptation.If we have the excellence we can get other excellence much easier in exchange.Also seen in the debate, Franklin was not humble when he was young, I often make that mistake, when there is no need to overwhelm people with very strong tone, although at the time it could have brought their own pleasure, but we need to understand other people's feelings.Franklin was revered as the father of America for his impressive image that can maintain a frugal life style of work for the public welfare and make immortal contributions, compared to my own and the majority of people we can knew how impetuous we are.I hope people will need: reticent, modest, frugal, more importance in the future to remove these bad habits, those things may be of great help to our growth.What’s more, I think it is necessary for everyone to by this book, which can have a better understanding of education, public utilities, as well as a human city, country effects.Benjamin Franklin once said this sentence: “In my view, the things can bring happiness to mankind is not so much the great golden lucky, might as well say is the convenience all the time around.” I think these words were very inspiring words, not only those rare good fortune, while ignoring the little things around;but also this sentence is also very good explain for Franklin's invention of those who benefit mankind and the reason for he became a inventor.Franklin can make great success in so many areas which have a huge impact on the world affairs, should be largely dependent on his habits, very sorry I could not see his biography later life, perhaps he's more interested in some of my later life, in fact, people often like to see a brilliant side.After reading Franklin's autobiography, a deep sense I received is that people cannot be conquered by inertia, cannot be the original self-restraint.To move forward to what we should aim at.

富蘭克林自傳讀后感
經濟九班 劉欣然
我是第一次較全面的接觸本杰明.富蘭克林這個美國歷史上的傳奇人物,早先只知他是美國歷史上的杰出人物,對美國歷史影響重大,僅此而已。我用了一個月時間咬著牙讀完這本書,了解了一些關于此人的生涯歷程,下面就來談談我的一些感悟。
首先我要向您說明,第一,我不了解美國歷史,更不了解美國的風土人情,所以我在讀這本書時始終懷有一種陌生感;第二,我不知自己是因為沒用心讀還是自己離富蘭克林的親身經歷差距太遠,我始終提不起對此人人生經歷的好奇心來,這就是我為什么前面提到咬著牙讀完的原因。我說這些話并不是想有意冒犯您,我只是想說:每個人的生活經歷都不一樣,生命感悟不同,并不是一本書對任何人都有強烈的啟迪作用,您可明白?
當然,我也并不是一無所獲,本書第八章《美德計劃》和附錄《財富之路》對我還是有一定啟示的,尤其是前者。富蘭克林先生對自己制定了十三條來規范自己的行為,我認為除第十二條、十三條可適當修改以外,其他全部可以作為我自己的人生箴言。
箴言如下:1.節制:食不過飽,飲不過量
2.緘默:避免閑談,言必有益
3.秩序:物歸其所,事需限期
4.決心:當做必做,堅持完成5.節儉:節省花費,花必有值
6.勤勉:珍惜時間,做有益事
7.誠實:真誠待人,言行一致
8.正直:多行善事,不損他人
9.中庸:容忍為先,不走極端
10.整潔:衣著整潔,居所清潔
11.平靜:臨危不懼,處亂不驚
12.節欲:克制欲望,修身養性
13.謙遜:摒除傲氣,持心若水
這十三條,我之所以不厭其煩的打出來,就是深知這些道理實踐起來的艱巨性。推心置腹的說,這些道理在我們國家的儒學,理學,禪學里中也有,但世人往往只停留于空談,而不去努力施行,所以真正學習的不能僅限于這些道理,更應該在心中尊重這些肯將道理付諸于實踐的偉人們。我欣賞富蘭克林的誠實,他直言不諱地說自知自己根本同時做不到這些,只能腳踏實地得一步一步去實行,我從中懂得了循序漸進的重要性。
此外,我認為作者在此書中用生動筆墨記述了他波瀾壯闊的一生,其中沒有豪言壯語,語言平實親切。顯然,作者只是想一點一滴把自己總結的人生智慧傳遞給讀者。我認為,書中傳達的勤奮、好學、敬業以及創造一個最好的自我等觀念彰顯本書的脈絡和主旨,但這僅是我一家之言,書中還有深意有待進一步體會。
總之,我要向您承認,這雖是一本好書,但我現在感觸不是很深。然而我懂得好酒需慢品,好書也要多讀才有體會,我會堅持將這
本書帶在我的身邊,一直讀下去,我相信我會有明白的那一天的。屆時我必定親自向您解述我的心得體會,還望賜教。

《富蘭克林自傳》讀后感
在財經應用文寫作課上,老師推薦我們讀一讀富蘭克林的自傳。盡管以前也對富蘭克林略有耳聞,但仍是知之甚少,這次的閱讀給了我一個接近他、了解他、體悟他的契機。
富蘭克林生于1706年1月2日,由于他出生在貧寒的小商人家庭,他幾次被迫輟學,在小商店里打雜。后來又在哥哥的印刷廠里當學徒,最后他自己在費城開了一家印刷所。他在這期間過著艱苦的生活,住得簡陋,吃得簡單,但是卻一直有一股非常強大的精神力量支撐著他。除了辛勤工作之外,他還始終懷著強烈的求知欲望和求學熱情,想盡一切辦法,擠出一切時間和一切金錢用于買書和讀書。在他看來,讀書是他開啟幸福成功之門的鑰匙,書是無價之寶,也是他最大的快樂。正是因為如此,他通曉了法語、意大利語、西班牙語和拉丁語。最終他成為了美國的開國之父之一,同時也是一個偉大的發明家,其中就有我們最為熟知的避雷針。
在閱讀《富蘭克林自傳》的過程中,給我感觸最深得就是他規定以自律的十三條美德:
1.節制。食不過飽,酒不過量。
2.少言寡語。言多必有失;避免瑣碎、無益的閑聊。
3.秩序。所有物品當各有位置,擺放應有序;做適當有一定的時間。
4.決心。當做必做;決心要做的事應堅持不懈。
5.儉樸。錢應當花在有用的地方,意即切勿浪費。
6.勤勉。珍惜時間;不要把時間浪費在毫無意義的事和不必要的行動上。
7.誠實。欺騙人;要心存良知與公正;說話亦如此。
8.公正。不做有損于人的事,不要忘記履行對人有益而又是你應盡的義務。
9.中庸適度。避免極端;別人若給你懲罰,如若是應當的,應當盡量容忍。
10.清潔。身體、衣服和住所力求清潔。
11.鎮靜。不要因小事或普通的不可避免的事故而驚慌失措。
12.貞潔。除為了健康或生育后代起見,不要縱欲過度,切忌傷害身體或損害你自己或他人的安寧或名譽。
13.謙虛。效仿耶穌和蘇格拉底。
他一直在盡力地做到這些,盡管他也很難完全滿足要求,但他還是堅持不懈。在我看來,每個人要完全做到這些是非常不易的,但是我們可以以這些標準來規定和約束自己,使自身盡量達到這些要求,這對我們每一個人的自我完善都是至關重要的。他還認為,邪惡行為之所以被認為有害并非因為它們是被禁止的行為,而正因為它們有害所以才被禁止。
富蘭克林曾說過這樣一句話,“在我看來,能夠給人類帶來幸福的,與其說是千載難逢的巨大的幸運,倒不如說是每時每刻發生在他
們身邊的瑣細的方便”。也正因為如此,他在為人類造福的事業上做出了斐然的貢獻。
在走近了富蘭克林之后,我深深地被他感染,愿以他為榜樣,使自我更加完善。
第四篇:《富蘭克林自傳》讀后感
《富蘭克林自傳》讀后感
讀《富蘭克林自傳》,了解一位飽經風霜老人的不平凡成長歷程,感受智者的心靈,體會人生的真諦。
富蘭克林出生于一個普通的手工業家庭,由于家庭困難,他八歲入學、十歲時就離開了學校,回家幫助父親做蠟燭養家糊口。十二歲時,他到小印刷所學徒,當了近十年的印刷工人。在他的一生中只有二年的在校讀書時間,但他從未間斷過學習,他從伙食費中省下錢來買書,同時,將書店的書在晚上借來,通宵達旦地閱讀,第二天清晨便歸還。他如饑似渴地吸取各方面的知識,無論是自然科學、技術、還是科學家的論文他都認真研究。了解了這些,就不難理解,富蘭克林為什么能成為享譽世界的發明家、作家、外交家和獨立革命的領導人。他不僅在自然科學方面取得避雷針等多項重大發明,還是美利堅合眾國的創始人之一,參加起草了《獨立宣言》。出使法國,促成了美、法同盟的建立。他不僅讓美國人民引以為豪,而且是世界人民的驕傲。
《富蘭克林自傳》告訴我們:生活的磨礪和苦難是人生的財富,勤奮和知識是步入成功殿堂的階梯。今天,人們將普通平民百姓稱為“草根”,可以說,富蘭克林就是從地道的“草根”成長為世界杰出的偉人。他熱愛自己的祖國和人民,歷經磨難仍具有堅定的信念,他在艱苦的生活環境下,仍樂觀地生活,勤奮地工作、追求知識,他嚴于律已,以身作則,對自己提出了十三條箴言:節制、少言、秩序、決心、節儉、勤勉、坦誠、公正、中庸、整潔、冷靜、節欲、謙遜,是留給人們的寶貴精神財富,激勵著一代又一代人。對于我們生活在浮躁社會的現代人們更是有著清醒劑的作用。

富蘭克林自傳讀后感
富蘭克林生于1706年1月2日,由于他出生在貧寒的小商人家庭.他幾次被-迫輟學在小商店里打雜.后來又在哥哥的印刷廠當學徒,最后自己在費城開了一家印刷所.他在這期間過著艱苦的生活,住得簡陋,吃得簡單.但是卻一直有一種非常強大的精神支撐著他.除了辛勤工作之外,他還始終懷著強烈的求知的渴望和熱情,想盡一切辦法,擠出一切時間和一切金錢來讀書和買書.在他看來,讀書是他打開幸福成功之門的鑰匙.書是無價之寶,是他最大的快樂.正是因為如此,他同小了法語,意大利語,西班牙語和拉丁語.成功背后卻是無比的艱辛,最后當上了美國的總統,而且也是一個偉大的發明家.他發明了新式火爐,避雷針,高架取書器,自動烤肉機,三輪鐘等.我對富蘭克林的感嘆就是:一分耕耘一分才.他付出了艱苦的努力就品嘗到了成功的果實.他為全美國人們創造了幸福.我們應該學習富蘭克林的這種精神.富蘭克林自傳在本站電子書欄目名人傳記下有提供.第一次讀富蘭克林自傳是在中學,看到一半的時候他還在搞印刷就沒看下去,后來是在網上看,但由于我不習慣在電腦上看長篇的小說,所以一直沒看完,想買一本過來,可義烏這種地方唯一一個不錯的新華書店也只有一本,還是比較舊,我不想買一本自己很喜歡的舊書,所以一直沒有買。
昨天,正好沒事,去新華書店,那本舊書還在,就拿起來一口氣讀完,對于富蘭克林遵守的十三種德行,我感覺對每個人都適合,我自己想做到的首先是節制,儉樸。
關于節制我一直在這樣做,因為很小的時候看洛克菲勒中年患病后,食從來半飽,并且活到九十幾的高齡,還積聚了巨額的財富,后來看《商道》中戒盈杯也曾挽救過林尚活的命,對飲食就更加注意,包括倒水喝酒都從來不會太滿,最重要的是食不過飽還可以保持一個比較清醒的大腦。
寡言我做的也不好,以后也需要多加注意。
儉樸我做的并不很好,有時候總感覺消費可以刺激自己的需求,進一步刺激自己追求更高更好的東西,但目前看來這是一種非常錯誤的做法,以后會多加注意(因為即使是一元錢,也可積少成多,一直消費最終會導致自己保持收支平衡而沒有足夠的啟動資金)。
清潔我做的是最糟糕的(這方面我現在還沒打算去做,這是一個非常久的習慣了,可能需要太多的時間,并且有時候會與我的時間觀造成沖突)
其它幾點秩序,勤勞,誠懇,正直做的還自己感覺不錯。
對富蘭克林非常重視公共事業深有感觸,尤其是教育,正如我去新華書店找如此好的一本書而卻很難以找到一樣,如果有一個圖書館,那就會好的多,曾記得在杭州新華書店看一本《王道》,十幾本都被讀者看的黑黑的,這個損失不應該由書店來承擔,但一個人買一本又很浪
費資源,因此一個國家一個城市,圖書館是首先應該投資的,并且挑選比較著名及有影響的書多放一些,全民普及文化教育。義烏不能創造超級富豪我感覺與此也有很大的關系,義烏雖然寶馬奔馳很多,但是由于文化的限制,大多觀念并不新,超級富豪幾乎沒有。
另外對富蘭克林遇到的總督基思印像非常深刻,因為感覺他太像自己轉載自百分網轉載請注明出處,謝謝!The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Summary
How It All Goes Down
In Part 1, Franklin talks about his reasons for writing the Autobiography, saying that since you can't live your life over again, the next best thing is to recapture it by writing it down.He describes his early life in Boston, his love for reading, and his job training.Franklin apprentices as a printer to his brother James, but he hates working for him, and runs away to Philadelphia at age sixteen.In Philadelphia, Franklin begins working for a printer named Keimer.The governor, Sir William Keith, offers to set Franklin up on his own as a printer and sends him to England to get supplies.Once in England, though, Franklin finds out that Keith's a liar and a cheat – and he's stuck in London without money or a way to get back to America.Franklin works hard at Watts' printing shop, learns about his craft, and makes some important
connections.After he saves up enough money, he returns to America with his friend Mr.Denham, who's offered him a job.Franklin works hard for Denham until his employer dies, and then he has to go back to Keimer.That doesn't last long, because Franklin quits.He decides to start his own business with another former Keimer employee, Hugh Meredith.Even though there's competition, they get a couple of lucky breaks, like printing the Pennsylvania Gazette.After Meredith bows out, Franklin gets some contracts to print paper money, and his rival Keimer retires.As the business really starts to take off, Franklin marries his old flame Deborah Read.He also helps found a gentleman's club called the Junto, which is for
talking about and debating philosophical and scientific ideas.One of their first big projects is creating a subscription library.Franklin stops writing here because of the American Revolution.Part 2 begins with Franklin writing from Passy, France, receiving letters from two of his
friends, Abel James and Benjamin Vaughan.They basically tell Franklin that he is awesome, that his life story is awesome, and he should keep writing it.Franklin's persuaded.Let's face it: we probably would be too.He goes back to where he stopped in Part 1 and tells us more about how the Junto created the Library system, then about his personal work on achieving the virtues of modesty and thrift.Franklin writes a list of virtues and works on them daily.He says he doesn't go to church, but prays by himself: he leaves religion out of his virtue list and says he'll get to it later in a book called The Art of Virtue, which he never writes.He ends this section by saying pride is the hardest virtue to overcome, and he's still working on it.Part 3 picks up five years later, with Franklin in Philadelphia.He writes Poor Richard's Almanac;it and his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, are really successful.His business continues to expand.Franklin develops his ideas about religion in two
encounters with preachers, both of whom he likes.The first, Samuel Hemphill, advocates virtue, but he's cast out by the public because he copies other guys' sermons in his own(yeah, that's plagiarism).The second, George Whitefield, is a great traveling preacher who, Franklin says, has amazing rhetoric.Franklin's club, the Junto, gets bigger and founds the first American fire department.On a personal level, Franklin reconciles with his brother James, who's dying, and explains how his own son Francis died of smallpox.Professionally, Franklin is made General Assembly Clerk and Postmaster.He decides Pennsylvania needs two things: a better military and a better institution for higher education.Franklin writes Plain Truth, which calls for a better military, but turns down a position as colonel;however, he's still got a lot of influence over Pennsylvania's militia.He also talks about the problems Quakers face as pacifists trying to contribute to a system of defense.With the Junto, he founds the University of Pennsylvania.Franklin also works on creating the first American public
hospital, better paving for Philadelphia's streets, and a better system for dusting London's streets.The French and Indian War is coming.Franklin writes a plan for uniting all the American colonies, but it doesn't go over well.They stay organized by individual colony.He helps General Edward Braddock get military supplies on credit from Pennsylvania citizens;since they don't know Braddock, Franklin has to put up collateral.This will bite him in the butt, though.In the middle of doing important military stuff – preparing for a battle at
Monongahela to take over Fort Duquesne – Braddock doesn't listen to Franklin's advice.They lose the battle and Braddock is killed.Luckily, he gives Franklin a large chunk of the money before that happens.Another general, Shirley, comes through for Franklin with more of the money.(Franklin never gets the rest.)Meanwhile, Franklin helps build forts in Pennsylvania for defense against the Native Americans and learns about the Moravian religion.He's briefly honored as a colonel, but turns down a position as general.Franklin also has scientific success: he works on experiments in electricity with his friends
Peter Collinson and Ebenezer Kinnersley.Collinson tells the Royal Society about
Franklin's ideas, and his work is published.He gets into a scholarly fight with Abbé Nollet, who has competing ideas, but the scientific public promotes Franklin's as the best.He's made a member of the Royal Society.The new governor, Denny, is having problems with the Pennsylvania Assembly.The
Assembly wants to pass a law that taxes colonists and Proprietors(the guys who own the colonies)more fairly to gather money for defending the colonies, part of which will be under the direction of General Loudon, but Denny won't sign it.Despite being delayed by Loudon, Franklin finally gets to go to London on behalf of the Assembly to work on mediation.(He never gets the rest of the money he covered for Braddock.)
In Part 4, Franklin consults with his friend Dr.Fothergill about the problem the Assembly's having and meets with Lord Granville, head of the King's privy council, about it.Lord Granville says the King makes laws just by talking, but Franklin argues that he can only approve/deny the colonists' laws once – he shouldn't be able to go back on his word.Lord Granville disagrees.Franklin and the Proprietors meet at Thomas Penn's house to talk about the dispute, and Franklin has to argue with the other side's attorney, Ferdinand Paris.He and the colonists spend one year waiting for the decision.Meanwhile, the Assembly and Governor Denny finally agree on the bill.The Proprietors petition to keep the bill from happening, because they don't want to be tasked, and everyone goes to court.There, Lord Mansfield mediates the case, and everyone comes to an agreement.The autobiography ends with the Assembly celebrating Franklin and firing Governor Denny.The colonists try to sue him, but don't succeed – he's too well connected.
