"Timeless Wisdom from Benjamin Franklin: Quotes to Inspire Success and Happiness"

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 in the town of Boston in the British colony of Massachusetts. His father, Joshua Franklin, immigrated to America twenty years before Benjamin was born, and became a tallow chandler, manufacturing wax candles and soap to support his growing family. As testified by Franklin himself in his famous autobiography, Benjamin was the fifteenth child in a family of seventeen children and the “youngest son of the youngest son for five generations back”.

In the large Franklin family, the father intended each of his children to a specific occupation, and Benjamin was sent to school to become a clergyman. However, he left school at the age of ten, apparently due to financial constraints, and began assisting his father in manufacturing candles and soaps. Franklin describes that during his short stay at school he learned how to write reasonably well, but was unable to advance in math. This failure at mathematics at a young age did not prevent him from making a great contribution to the understanding of the principles of electricity decades later.

At the age of 12, Franklin began working at the printing house owned by his brother James, where he learned the secrets of the printing trade. Through his work in the printing house Benjamin was exposed to books and newspapers coming from Europe, which expanded his horizons on the contemporary cultural and intellectual developments that took place on the continent. This was also where he initially tried his hand at writing, publishing a series of articles in the newspaper owned by his brother under the pseudonym Silence Dogood - a fictional middle-aged Boston widow.

The time spent in his brother’s printing house taught Franklin about the power of the written word in spreading ideas and creating social organizations, an insight he would make good use of throughout his life.

The most motivating experience for me is when I see others achieve their dreams.
Thank you.
