It will make you learn even more about the man, and there are many things you could apply to your life contained within the page.s Walter Isaacson's book may be a good read, too - but probably start with the autobiography, it is much shorter than 800 pages! And if you're anything like me, your pace of reading will accelerate the further along you get in the book, making it a fairly quick read. The copy I have has many excerpts from other writings of his, too, which are great to reference. I highly recommend the autobiography.

I think some of his quotes are on the secret. they certainly crop up enough in the type of books I read and the inspirational emails that arrive e.g. quote of the day. It's actually quite hard not to speak ill of people and takes practice. I've not mastered it yet. Another similar thing is to not complain about anything, try not complaining about *anything* for just one week, or even one day. Don't complain about your health, the weather, this person, that event, this price, global warming, Iraq, whatever. Catch yourself about to complain and stop. Someone once said that when you complain to someone about something, they are not really interested, they are just waiting for their turn to complain about their thing! It's just negative energy. Most news is negative, even articles written in newspapers/magasines by "witty" journalists are just sarcastic and negative and therefore of little use to me.

It's a long read (over 800 pages), but the best researched and written Franklin biography is Walter Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin: An American Life - I highly recommend it. <a href='http://www.amazon.com/Benjamin-Franklin-American-Walter-Isaacson/dp/074325807X/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-3361890-1420004?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173455385&sr=8-1' rel="nofollow">website</a> Franklin’s list of accomplishments is nothing short of amazing and when one stops to wonder how he did it it is not hard to imagine that his list of virtues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin) really is effective.
