班傑明.佛蘭克林——十八世紀美國最偉大的科學家，資本主義精神最完美的代表，著名的政治家和文學家。他一生最真實的寫照是他自己所說過的一句話“誠實和勤勉，應該成爲你永久的伴侶。”
Benjamin Franklin’s Keys to Success (13 Virtues)
1. Temperance (節制): Eat not to dullness. Drink not to Elevation
2. Silence (安靜): Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling Conversation
3. Order (規律): Let all your Things have their Places. Let each Part of your Business have its Time.
4. Resolution (剛毅): Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve
5. Frugality (節儉): Make no Expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e. Waste nothing
6. Industry (勤勉): Lose no Time. Be always employ’d in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary Actions.
7. Sincerity (真誠): Use no hurtful Deceit. Think innocently and justly; and, if you speak; speak accordingly.
8. Justice (正直): Wrong none, by doing Injuries or omitting the Benefits that are your Duty
9. Moderation (溫和): Avoid Extremes. Forbear resenting Injuries so much as you think they deserve
10. Cleanliness (乾淨): Tolerate no Uncleanness in Body, Clothes, or Habitation
11. Tranquility (平靜): Be not disturbed at Trifles, or Accidents common or unavoidable
12. Chastity (貞節): Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. Humility (謙遜): Imitate Jesus and Socrates
