<Travel 100-day, D+8>

Review 1~7 / Study 8~11

 

I read this a few years ago and I suddenly wanted to read it today. 

Benjamin Franklin Autobiography

Since the book is written Korean, I just read some parts. (I'm still struggling to use only English)

I found Banjamin Franklin's 13 virtues on the page 200 of the book.

As you know, these are famous, and I was glad to see those as if I bumped into an old friend.

 

<벤자민 프랭클린 13가지 덕목>

1. 절제 Temperance

취하도록 마시지 말자. Drink not to elevation.

 

2. 침묵 Silence

쓸데없는 말을 하지 말자. Avoid trifling conversation.

 

3. 질서 Order

모든 물건은 제자리에 두자. Let all your things have their places.

일은 모두 때를 정해서 하자. Let each part of your business have its time.

 

4. 결단 Resolution

해야 할 일이 있다면 반드시 하겠다고 결심하자. Resolve to perform what you ought.

결심한 것은 반드시 실행하자. Perform without fail what you resolve.

 

5. 절약 Frugality

나나 남에게 유익하지 않은 일에는 돈을 쓰지 말자. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself.

쓸데없는 낭비는 하지 말자. That is, waste nothing.

 

6. 근면 Industry

시간을 낭비하지 말자. Lose no time.

언제나 유용한 일을 하자. Be always employed in something useful.

무익한 행동은 끊어버리자. Cut off all unnecessary actions.

순수하고 공정하게 생각하자. Think innocently and justly.

언행을 일치시키자. Speak accordingly.

 

8. 정의 Justice

남에게 피해를 주는 일은 하지 말고, 남에게 응당 줘야 하는 이익은 꼭 주자.

Wrong none by doing injuries; or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

 

9. 중용 Moderation

극단을 피하자. Avoid extremes.

상대가 나쁘더라도 상대에게 상처를 주지 말자. Forebear resenting injuries so much as you think deserve.

 

10. 청결 Cleanliness

신체, 의복 등 습관상 모든 것에 청결을 유지하자. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.

 

11. 침착 Tranquility

사소한 일, 일상적인 일뿐만 아니라 불가피한 일을 당해도 흔들리지 말자.

Be not disturbed at trifles or at accidents common or unavoidable.

 

12. 순결 Chastity

건강과 자손을 위해서만 잠자리를 하자. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring.

감각이 둔해지고, 몸이 쇠약해지고, 부부의 평화와 평판에 해가 될 정도로 하지 말자.

Never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.

 

13. 겸손 Humility

예수와 소크라테스를 본받자. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

 

 

I'm going to memorize them.

Also, I will try to perform those virtues every day.

I have to be responsible for my life.

 

"I'm the boss of my mind and body."

Doja Cat - Boss B*tch (from Birds of Prey: The Album) [Official Music Video]

If... If Benjamin Franklin(1706. 1. 17 ~ 1790. 4. 17), Jesus, and Socrates watch this video, how will they react?

It's interesting to imagine.

 

Anyway, let's go to read a book.

Have a fantastic night~*
