Download or read book Rewarding Virtue written by Joseph Walwik and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin presents a plan for moral perfection: a set of thirteen virtues for individuals to cultivate. These virtues are meant to aid in one's economic and political successes while contributing to the greater social good. Rewarding Virtue questions whether Franklin's premise--that living virtuously benefits the individual as well as the community--can be judged by historical experience. In this book each of Franklin's famous virtues (temperance, order, silence, etc.) are presented in such a way to determine if living by these maxims do result in enhanced wealth or reputation. With a similar utilitarian spirit this book attempts to judge the worthiness of his ideas in the actual human experience. The subjects for this experiment are some of the best-known Americans. Presidents of the United States are assigned a virtue and then thoroughly investigated (i.e. Ulysses S. Grant and temperance, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and tranquility, etc.) By examining the lives of these selected presidents, the reader is challenged to entertain the possibility that these are lessons that could be applied to contemporary life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Benjamin Franklin was building up his newspaper business, he noticed that his morals were slipping-he would talk a lot about himself and didn't make time for all of his affairs. Franklin, noticing his descent, developed the desire for the perfection of his character, believing that admirable virtue was rewarded and "vice punished." However, he also found it surprisingly difficult to act with a perfect conscience-the task of moral perfection seemed impossible. Therefore, he created a system to slowly implement necessary virtues into his habitation. Franklin came up with thirteen virtues that he ordered from 1 to 13; the perfection of the first lending itself to the perfection of the second, and so on. Franklin's system is simple and is contained in this book: he would write the thirteen virtues down one side of a page and the days of the week across the top. He then ruled lines down and across to make a chart. At the end of the day, he'd mark a dot for every failing in every virtue for that day. Every week he would focus on a different virtue (starting with the first) and try to keep that line clean of dots, representing moral failings, for that week. After a week, he'd move on to the next virtue, trying to keep that virtue clean. Over time, he saw improvement in his morality and judgment. Enclosed in this book is the charts written out for you and the virtue that you should focus on for each week. I hope this makes it simpler to follow Benjamin Franklin's system and that great success awaits you because of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1771 and 1790, American Founding Father Benjamin Franklin sat down to record the important events of his life, from his childhood in Boston to his work as a printer in Philadelphia, to his trips to Paris and his plans for the first public library. The story of the invention of the Franklin stove, the first Poor Richard's Almanac, and his experiments with electricity are all included here. His "Project for Moral Perfection"—a list of desirable virtues and steps to achieve them—influenced the modern self-help genre. Hundreds of years later, Franklin's account of his rise from middle-class obscurity to become a world-renowned scholar and civic figure continues to promote the American Dream. First published in 1791, this unabridged version of Franklin's autobiography is taken from the 1909 copyright edition.
