Reading Notes on Franklin's Autobiography
After reading a famous book carefully, I believe everyone has accumulated their own reading comprehension. It's time to write a reading note and record it well. So how do you write a good reading note? The following are my carefully compiled reading notes on Franklin's autobiographical works for reference only. Welcome to read them.
Reading Notes on Franklin's Autobiography 1
Recently, I have nothing to do. I found the Autobiography of Franklin I bought three years ago in the bookcase and just flipped through it. I was never interested in such a biography before, but for some reason, this autobiography made me read it from beginning to end in one breath. After reading it, I read it without long boasting or obscure words, and I finished it easily. Franklin's struggle history has grown up. After reading this book, I really feel a surge of emotion and touched deeply, so I feel it is very necessary to record what I think and feel at this time, and record the shock and enlightenment brought by Franklin's life at the first time for future reference and review.
The most surprising thing about Franklin is his generalist. I never understood that one person could achieve so much in so many aspects. Printers, revisers, inventors, scientists, educators, political activists, diplomats, philanthropists, philosophers and so on, from one job to another, from one post to another, he is simply a miracle! Although in modern society, people pay more attention to whether a person's major is outstanding, I firmly believe that the emergence of a generalist like Franklin will inevitably arouse the admiration of modern people.
At first glance, Franklin's diverse identities and brilliant achievements will make us think that he is a miracle in the 18th century. However, from his autobiography and confessions, I clearly realize that Franklin was not born superior to others in all aspects, and his achievements and wisdom are attributed to his self-improvement, self-discipline and introspection.
self-improvement. Franklin began to be an apprentice when he was very young, and studied printing. After several hardships, he chose to go out to make a living. For a teenager, it was not easy to make a living away from home in Wan Li. However, no matter how difficult the road is and how poor the life is, he strives for self-improvement, does everything well in a down-to-earth manner, feels grateful, starts from scratch and accumulates constantly. Even if the conditions are hard, I will save some money to buy books, practice writing hard and improve my speculative skills.
self-discipline. I feel very deeply about this. After reading Franklin's pursuit of noble character, I was completely impressed by his self-discipline spirit. How many times have I found that there are some shortcomings in myself that need to be corrected, but every time I give myself reasons to give up in the middle of correction. Perhaps this is the difference between ordinary people and human beings. There are inevitable reasons why great men become great men. Franklin first listed 13 life creeds that he wanted to pursue, which were temperance, silence, order, determination, thrift, diligence, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, calmness, chastity and modesty. In order to cultivate these virtues in himself, he made a strict plan for himself, focused on cultivating a moral character every week, and recorded the number of times he violated this moral character every day, thus constantly urging himself and urging himself. What many people say, Franklin put them into practice, and put them into the pamphlet that is recorded every day. From this point, I learned that if you want to achieve a big goal, you must first learn to break it down into several small goals and implement them in every day's actions. In the middle, you need a complete and detailed plan to urge yourself to implement it continuously according to this regulation. To some extent, this kind of planning and execution also determines Franklin's success in political activities and social undertakings.
introspection. I believe that Franklin is a man who pursues perfection, which can also be seen from his self-discipline spirit, but his introspection to be discussed next also ensures that Franklin can always keep approaching perfection. Before and after this autobiography, Franklin introspected many times about how he treated others and drew a series of conclusions, which also helped him establish a very good public opinion image and a very harmonious interpersonal relationship in society. Franklin was a little proud in his early years, and he suffered a lot from it. After introspection, he concluded that if you want to win the respect and favor of others, you can't talk to others with a self-righteous attitude, so even if your point of view is correct, you won't get the approval of others. So he tried to get rid of some "absolute" words in the conversation, such as "I'm sure" and "I firmly believe", and adopted "I think … should be feasible" and "I think it might be …" and so on. Even if you want to point out the shortcomings of others, you should affirm their advantages to some extent at this moment, and then put forward your own opinions and opinions politely and humbly. This kind of moderate way of dealing with people is also useful in modern society. If you are too sharp, you will sometimes get killed. Reading Notes on Franklin's Autobiography 2
I reread the autobiography of Franklin in the last two weeks and gained a lot. Why do you say "stress"? Because I saw it once before during my junior year, and now I think about it, but it's just a cursory tour. It's not too late to mend now.
Before I reread this book, I made a search on "How to Read" on the Internet, and the search results were quite rich, but the more choices, the more confused I became. After much consideration, I prefer Han Yu's reading method. Here is an excerpt, as follows:
First, write down how many articles there are in this book and what the materials mainly talk about. Then write down what the main points are; We should also write our own opinions and opinions. In addition, I also picked out the wonderful words and expressed my own views.
According to Han Yu's reading method, I got a better understanding of Franklin's life story, and I couldn't put it down. Now that I think about it, reading a good book should be repeated, reading out the interest and reading out my own feelings and opinions.
There are four autobiographies of Franklin. The first article mainly writes about how Franklin taught himself and the development of his personal career when he was young. The second part tells about Franklin's own pleasure in reading, the implementation of moral perfection plan and the schedule of time allocation in daily life; The third article is about Franklin's hard study of many foreign languages, how to enthusiastically carry out public welfare undertakings and his contribution to natural science; The last article died because he didn't finish it, but only introduced his first diplomatic mission.
Franklin liked reading very much when he was a child. All the money he got was spent on books. Sometimes a book was borrowed at night and had to be returned the next morning. He often pulled himself together and read late into the night. His whole life from the age of 12 to the age of 16 was working, reading and studying. His hunger for knowledge, his strong desire to know the world around him, and his perception of reality all prompted him to become a real reader, and deeply influenced his future thoughts and paths. When I was a child, I liked reading very much for a while, but after all, I gave up the perfect world in extra-curricular books because my exam scores determined my future, and turned to boring and boring textbooks, which suppressed my thoughts and didn't have time to realize the reality. Now that I think about it, it is not surprising that I can't think independently and write articles. The only idea at the moment is: better late than never, just hope it is not too late.
in his youth, Franklin's main career was to run a printing house, and his diligence was higher than that of any one in his profession. When people have gone to bed, he is working; When the neighbors got up, he was also working. This kind of hard work has won the trust and respect of others, and at the same time, it has gained reputation and influence, and at the same time it has added a booster to his career. The good habits formed in his youth will greatly affect his later life path. In this way, in youth, we should choose the best way to live, and habits will make us extremely happy. While doing his career, he also made many mistakes. However, he thought aggressively and learned from it. He made a plan of moral perfection, expecting to live a life without wrong behavior at any time. Unreasonable habits must be abolished, and good habits must be acquired and established, so as to grasp firm and consistent integrity. The following is his moral perfection plan, which is worthy of everyone's imitation and reference.
1. Temperance. Food is full; Drinking can be measured.
2. Silence. Unless people talk about their own advantages; Avoid trivial conversations.
3. Order. Everything about you should have their own place; When your work is done and finished, you should have their time.
4. make a decision. Decide to do what you should do; Do what you decide.
5. be frugal. Unless it is beneficial to others, it is a waste.
6. Hard work. Don't waste time; Time should always be used for useful things; Abandon all unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity. Don't be harmful fraud; Don't think about evil, just think about justice; If you have anything to say, you must be sincere.
8. Integrity. Don't commit harmful acts, and don't neglect the benefits you should give to harm anyone.
9. Mean. Don't go to extremes and stop getting angry because of the damage you deserve.
1, clean. Body, clothes and habits are not allowed to be unclean.
11. Peace. Don't bother yourself with trifles or ordinary and inevitable events.
12, chastity.
13. Modesty. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
It's best not to practice these moral habits at the same time, so as not to distract attention. Instead, we should only grasp one at a time and practice it. When you master one, then move on to the next one. In my opinion, it is not easy to make such an excellent plan as a lifelong creed in my youth, and it is even more difficult to abide by it all my life. We should learn from and imitate his lifelong moral perfection plan to achieve meaningful goals, instead of changing constantly. One thing, it must be mentioned that he taught himself many foreign languages, such as French, Italian, Spanish and Latin, and was able to talk and read foreign languages. While we admire him, we should also sound the alarm for ourselves, shouldn't we?
In addition, Franklin is a person who is very willing to associate with others. He has a keen interest in everything around him and tries his best to understand and know everything. He likes to meet with intelligent and learned people and talk with interesting people, which is the most enjoyable and beneficial thing to kill time in his life. Another point is his public morality. He thinks that the night patrol system in the city lacks rules, so he wrote an article in the newspaper and proposed to change these unreasonable systems. He also organized a "joint fire fighting meeting" to provide effective fire prevention methods for residents. I have to say that he is a person who loves life and observes it. When he sees what is unreasonable in life and needs improvement, he tries to find a way and puts it into practice.
after reading this book, we should absorb the nutrition in the book for our own needs and grow with ourselves in the years to come. I believe that the future road will become clearer because of Franklin's guidance; The difficulties to be dealt with in the future will no longer make us cringe because of Franklin's deeds; The future mind will become more beautiful because of Franklin's miniature. Reading Notes on Franklin's Autobiography 3
"If you want to be remembered when the bones are rotting, you should either write something worth reading or do something worth writing". This is Benjamin. What Franklin said. What an admirable man Franklin was. He invented the lightning rod through the "kite experiment" and made great contributions to our mankind. When Franklin was seventy-eight years old, an autobiography of Franklin was born under his pen. After reading this book, I got to know Franklin better.
It is mentioned in the article that when Franklin was a child, his father asked him to do odd jobs at home or something, but Franklin was bent on going to the sea. Because his father didn't allow him, he finally had to go to his brother's printing house. When the apprentice is free, he goes to the library to read books. For Franklin, "reading is the only pleasure I enjoy myself." So he learned a lot of knowledge through his own efforts. The article also said that he happened to see a scattered volume of The Spectator, so he bought it and read it several times. He really couldn't put it down, so he tried to write the Spectator himself, and then compared his own Spectator with the original, and found some mistakes and corrected them. After numerous corrections, he improved the composition or language of the original text and encouraged his confidence.
after reading Franklin's autobiography, I thought of myself. When I was in my small class, I had a soft spot for guzheng and fell in love with it deeply. So in my spare time, I chose the hobby of guzheng. With the passage of time and the growth of age, my playing level has also improved dramatically, and I won the first prize in competitions in Yixing and Nanjing. I practice diligently every day. Every night, I let my family practice with me, and from time to time, I pull my mother around to listen to me play. In this way, because I have the habit of letting my mother stay with me every day as an audience, my courage has also grown a little. One year, I was informed that I was going to Beijing for a competition, so I practiced harder. I kept practicing in cold weather and hot summer, and I went to the teacher's house for practice in winter and summer, because only by practicing more can I not be nervous during the competition. There is a proverb that "many arts are not overwhelming, but high-skilled artists are bold"! After a tense wait, I finally arrived at the day of the competition, and I entered the venue of "China Star" with excitement. Looking at strange faces, confident faces, my heart is like fifteen buckets-on tenterhooks, and my confidence is like paratroopers parachuting-plummeting. My nervous feet trembled, and seeing the serious expression of the judges and listening to the beautiful piano sound of others really added fuel to the fire. My big sister beside me encouraged me: "Come on, don't be nervous, you must be able to!" " I thought to myself: I must be able to, since the teacher chose me to participate in the competition and trusted me, I can't let her down! It's my turn. I strode forward. In this way, every string was played into a beautiful note by me, and a lovely and lively musical elf was born under my fingers. After the play, I walked out of the examination room with confidence, with unspeakable joy in my heart.
But when I passed Grade 1, my mother still urged me to keep practicing, but I didn't insist. I am ashamed to think about Franklin's spirit of sticking to the end at the moment. "Perseverance+patience" can achieve brilliance. In the future, I must learn from Franklin's spirit and be a persistent person. Reading Notes on Franklin's Autobiography 4
