"A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave." (Benjamin Franklin)
Looking into the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin- the number of accomplishments he made during his lifetime is astounding. Many of the sayings we still use today are his quotes. ("A penny saved is a penny earned" is one).
Benjamin Franklin seemed to be involved in everything. He must have had boundless energy. I aspire to do as much as I am able to every day too. Personally, I have discovered that having a job outside my home actually contributes to my organization. There is no time to procrastinate- I have to "do it now" or I will pay for it later.
I plan to read more about him... my initial observation about Mr. Franklin is that he never stopped growing and learning. He was a printer, a scientist, a politician. There does seem to be a correlation between the pursuit of happiness and continual education!
