富兰克林自传读后感
经济九班 刘欣然
我是第一次较全面的接触本杰明.富兰克林这个美国历史上的传奇人物,早先只知他是美国历史上的杰出人物,对美国历史影响重大,仅此而已。我用了一个月时间咬着牙读完这本书,了解了一些关于此人的生涯历程,下面就来谈谈我的一些感悟。
首先我要向您说明,第一,我不了解美国历史,更不了解美国的风土人情,所以我在读这本书时始终怀有一种陌生感;第二,我不知自己是因为没用心读还是自己离富兰克林的亲身经历差距太远,我始终提不起对此人人生经历的好奇心来,这就是我为什么前面提到咬着牙读完的原因。我说这些话并不是想有意冒犯您,我只是想说:每个人的生活经历都不一样,生命感悟不同,并不是一本书对任何人都有强烈的启迪作用,您可明白?
当然,我也并不是一无所获,本书第八章《美德计划》和附录《财富之路》对我还是有一定启示的,尤其是前者。富兰克林先生对自己制定了十三条来规范自己的行为,我认为除第十二条、十三条可适当修改以外,其他全部可以作为我自己的人生箴言。
箴言如下:1.节制:食不过饱,饮不过量
2.缄默:避免闲谈,言必有益
3.秩序:物归其所,事需限期
4.决心:当做必做,坚持完成5.节俭:节省花费,花必有值
6.勤勉:珍惜时间,做有益事
7.诚实:真诚待人,言行一致
8.正直:多行善事,不损他人
9.中庸:容忍为先,不走极端
10.整洁:衣着整洁,居所清洁
11.平静:临危不惧,处乱不惊
12.节欲:克制欲望,修身养性
13.谦逊:摒除傲气,持心若水
这十三条,我之所以不厌其烦的打出来,就是深知这些道理实践起来的艰巨性。推心置腹的说,这些道理在我们国家的儒学,理学,禅学里中也有,但世人往往只停留于空谈,而不去努力施行,所以真正学习的不能仅限于这些道理,更应该在心中尊重这些肯将道理付诸于实践的伟人们。我欣赏富兰克林的诚实,他直言不讳地说自知自己根本同时做不到这些,只能脚踏实地得一步一步去实行,我从中懂得了循序渐进的重要性。
此外,我认为作者在此书中用生动笔墨记述了他波澜壮阔的一生,其中没有豪言壮语,语言平实亲切。显然,作者只是想一点一滴把自己总结的人生智慧传递给读者。我认为,书中传达的勤奋、好学、敬业以及创造一个最好的自我等观念彰显本书的脉络和主旨,但这仅是我一家之言,书中还有深意有待进一步体会。
总之,我要向您承认,这虽是一本好书,但我现在感触不是很深。然而我懂得好酒需慢品,好书也要多读才有体会,我会坚持将这
本书带在我的身边,一直读下去,我相信我会有明白的那一天的。届时我必定亲自向您解述我的心得体会,还望赐教。

《富兰克林自传》读后感
在财经应用文写作课上,老师推荐我们读一读富兰克林的自传。尽管以前也对富兰克林略有耳闻,但仍是知之甚少,这次的阅读给了我一个接近他、了解他、体悟他的契机。
富兰克林生于1706年1月2日,由于他出生在贫寒的小商人家庭,他几次被迫辍学,在小商店里打杂。后来又在哥哥的印刷厂里当学徒,最后他自己在费城开了一家印刷所。他在这期间过着艰苦的生活,住得简陋,吃得简单,但是却一直有一股非常强大的精神力量支撑着他。除了辛勤工作之外,他还始终怀着强烈的求知欲望和求学热情,想尽一切办法,挤出一切时间和一切金钱用于买书和读书。在他看来,读书是他开启幸福成功之门的钥匙,书是无价之宝,也是他最大的快乐。正是因为如此,他通晓了法语、意大利语、西班牙语和拉丁语。最终他成为了美国的开国之父之一,同时也是一个伟大的发明家,其中就有我们最为熟知的避雷针。
在阅读《富兰克林自传》的过程中,给我感触最深得就是他规定以自律的十三条美德:
1.节制。食不过饱,酒不过量。
2.少言寡语。言多必有失;避免琐碎、无益的闲聊。
3.秩序。所有物品当各有位置,摆放应有序;做适当有一定的时间。
4.决心。当做必做;决心要做的事应坚持不懈。
5.俭朴。钱应当花在有用的地方,意即切勿浪费。
6.勤勉。珍惜时间;不要把时间浪费在毫无意义的事和不必要的行动上。
7.诚实。欺骗人;要心存良知与公正;说话亦如此。
8.公正。不做有损于人的事,不要忘记履行对人有益而又是你应尽的义务。
9.中庸适度。避免极端;别人若给你惩罚,如若是应当的,应当尽量容忍。
10.清洁。身体、衣服和住所力求清洁。
11.镇静。不要因小事或普通的不可避免的事故而惊慌失措。
12.贞洁。除为了健康或生育后代起见,不要纵欲过度,切忌伤害身体或损害你自己或他人的安宁或名誉。
13.谦虚。效仿耶稣和苏格拉底。
他一直在尽力地做到这些,尽管他也很难完全满足要求,但他还是坚持不懈。在我看来,每个人要完全做到这些是非常不易的,但是我们可以以这些标准来规定和约束自己,使自身尽量达到这些要求,这对我们每一个人的自我完善都是至关重要的。他还认为,邪恶行为之所以被认为有害并非因为它们是被禁止的行为,而正因为它们有害所以才被禁止。
富兰克林曾说过这样一句话,“在我看来,能够给人类带来幸福的,与其说是千载难逢的巨大的幸运,倒不如说是每时每刻发生在他
们身边的琐细的方便”。也正因为如此,他在为人类造福的事业上做出了斐然的贡献。
在走近了富兰克林之后,我深深地被他感染,愿以他为榜样,使自我更加完善。
第四篇:《富兰克林自传》读后感
《富兰克林自传》读后感
读《富兰克林自传》,了解一位饱经风霜老人的不平凡成长历程,感受智者的心灵,体会人生的真谛。
富兰克林出生于一个普通的手工业家庭,由于家庭困难,他八岁入学、十岁时就离开了学校,回家帮助父亲做蜡烛养家糊口。十二岁时,他到小印刷所学徒,当了近十年的印刷工人。在他的一生中只有二年的在校读书时间,但他从未间断过学习,他从伙食费中省下钱来买书,同时,将书店的书在晚上借来,通宵达旦地阅读,第二天清晨便归还。他如饥似渴地吸取各方面的知识,无论是自然科学、技术、还是科学家的论文他都认真研究。了解了这些,就不难理解,富兰克林为什么能成为享誉世界的发明家、作家、外交家和独立革命的领导人。他不仅在自然科学方面取得避雷针等多项重大发明,还是美利坚合众国的创始人之一,参加起草了《独立宣言》。出使法国,促成了美、法同盟的建立。他不仅让美国人民引以为豪,而且是世界人民的骄傲。
《富兰克林自传》告诉我们:生活的磨砺和苦难是人生的财富,勤奋和知识是步入成功殿堂的阶梯。今天,人们将普通平民百姓称为“草根”,可以说,富兰克林就是从地道的“草根”成长为世界杰出的伟人。他热爱自己的祖国和人民,历经磨难仍具有坚定的信念,他在艰苦的生活环境下,仍乐观地生活,勤奋地工作、追求知识,他严于律已,以身作则,对自己提出了十三条箴言:节制、少言、秩序、决心、节俭、勤勉、坦诚、公正、中庸、整洁、冷静、节欲、谦逊,是留给人们的宝贵精神财富,激励着一代又一代人。对于我们生活在浮躁社会的现代人们更是有着清醒剂的作用。

富兰克林自传读后感
富兰克林生于1706年1月2日,由于他出生在贫寒的小商人家庭.他几次被-迫辍学在小商店里打杂.后来又在哥哥的印刷厂当学徒,最后自己在费城开了一家印刷所.他在这期间过着艰苦的生活,住得简陋,吃得简单.但是却一直有一种非常强大的精神支撑着他.除了辛勤工作之外,他还始终怀着强烈的求知的渴望和热情,想尽一切办法,挤出一切时间和一切金钱来读书和买书.在他看来,读书是他打开幸福成功之门的钥匙.书是无价之宝,是他最大的快乐.正是因为如此,他同小了法语,意大利语,西班牙语和拉丁语.成功背后却是无比的艰辛,最后当上了美国的总统,而且也是一个伟大的发明家.他发明了新式火炉,避雷针,高架取书器,自动烤肉机,三轮钟等.我对富兰克林的感叹就是:一分耕耘一分才.他付出了艰苦的努力就品尝到了成功的果实.他为全美国人们创造了幸福.我们应该学习富兰克林的这种精神.富兰克林自传在本站电子书栏目名人传记下有提供.第一次读富兰克林自传是在中学,看到一半的时候他还在搞印刷就没看下去,后来是在网上看,但由于我不习惯在电脑上看长篇的小说,所以一直没看完,想买一本过来,可义乌这种地方唯一一个不错的新华书店也只有一本,还是比较旧,我不想买一本自己很喜欢的旧书,所以一直没有买。
昨天,正好没事,去新华书店,那本旧书还在,就拿起来一口气读完,对于富兰克林遵守的十三种德行,我感觉对每个人都适合,我自己想做到的首先是节制,俭朴。
关于节制我一直在这样做,因为很小的时候看洛克菲勒中年患病后,食从来半饱,并且活到九十几的高龄,还积聚了巨额的财富,后来看《商道》中戒盈杯也曾挽救过林尚活的命,对饮食就更加注意,包括倒水喝酒都从来不会太满,最重要的是食不过饱还可以保持一个比较清醒的大脑。
寡言我做的也不好,以后也需要多加注意。
俭朴我做的并不很好,有时候总感觉消费可以刺激自己的需求,进一步刺激自己追求更高更好的东西,但目前看来这是一种非常错误的做法,以后会多加注意(因为即使是一元钱,也可积少成多,一直消费最终会导致自己保持收支平衡而没有足够的启动资金)。
清洁我做的是最糟糕的(这方面我现在还没打算去做,这是一个非常久的习惯了,可能需要太多的时间,并且有时候会与我的时间观造成冲突)
其它几点秩序,勤劳,诚恳,正直做的还自己感觉不错。
对富兰克林非常重视公共事业深有感触,尤其是教育,正如我去新华书店找如此好的一本书而却很难以找到一样,如果有一个图书馆,那就会好的多,曾记得在杭州新华书店看一本《王道》,十几本都被读者看的黑黑的,这个损失不应该由书店来承担,但一个人买一本又很浪
费资源,因此一个国家一个城市,图书馆是首先应该投资的,并且挑选比较著名及有影响的书多放一些,全民普及文化教育。义乌不能创造超级富豪我感觉与此也有很大的关系,义乌虽然宝马奔驰很多,但是由于文化的限制,大多观念并不新,超级富豪几乎没有。
另外对富兰克林遇到的总督基思印像非常深刻,因为感觉他太像自己转载自百分网转载请注明出处,谢谢!The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Summary
How It All Goes Down
In Part 1, Franklin talks about his reasons for writing the Autobiography, saying that since you can't live your life over again, the next best thing is to recapture it by writing it down.He describes his early life in Boston, his love for reading, and his job training.Franklin apprentices as a printer to his brother James, but he hates working for him, and runs away to Philadelphia at age sixteen.In Philadelphia, Franklin begins working for a printer named Keimer.The governor, Sir William Keith, offers to set Franklin up on his own as a printer and sends him to England to get supplies.Once in England, though, Franklin finds out that Keith's a liar and a cheat – and he's stuck in London without money or a way to get back to America.Franklin works hard at Watts' printing shop, learns about his craft, and makes some important
connections.After he saves up enough money, he returns to America with his friend Mr.Denham, who's offered him a job.Franklin works hard for Denham until his employer dies, and then he has to go back to Keimer.That doesn't last long, because Franklin quits.He decides to start his own business with another former Keimer employee, Hugh Meredith.Even though there's competition, they get a couple of lucky breaks, like printing the Pennsylvania Gazette.After Meredith bows out, Franklin gets some contracts to print paper money, and his rival Keimer retires.As the business really starts to take off, Franklin marries his old flame Deborah Read.He also helps found a gentleman's club called the Junto, which is for
talking about and debating philosophical and scientific ideas.One of their first big projects is creating a subscription library.Franklin stops writing here because of the American Revolution.Part 2 begins with Franklin writing from Passy, France, receiving letters from two of his
friends, Abel James and Benjamin Vaughan.They basically tell Franklin that he is awesome, that his life story is awesome, and he should keep writing it.Franklin's persuaded.Let's face it: we probably would be too.He goes back to where he stopped in Part 1 and tells us more about how the Junto created the Library system, then about his personal work on achieving the virtues of modesty and thrift.Franklin writes a list of virtues and works on them daily.He says he doesn't go to church, but prays by himself: he leaves religion out of his virtue list and says he'll get to it later in a book called The Art of Virtue, which he never writes.He ends this section by saying pride is the hardest virtue to overcome, and he's still working on it.Part 3 picks up five years later, with Franklin in Philadelphia.He writes Poor Richard's Almanac;it and his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, are really successful.His business continues to expand.Franklin develops his ideas about religion in two
encounters with preachers, both of whom he likes.The first, Samuel Hemphill, advocates virtue, but he's cast out by the public because he copies other guys' sermons in his own(yeah, that's plagiarism).The second, George Whitefield, is a great traveling preacher who, Franklin says, has amazing rhetoric.Franklin's club, the Junto, gets bigger and founds the first American fire department.On a personal level, Franklin reconciles with his brother James, who's dying, and explains how his own son Francis died of smallpox.Professionally, Franklin is made General Assembly Clerk and Postmaster.He decides Pennsylvania needs two things: a better military and a better institution for higher education.Franklin writes Plain Truth, which calls for a better military, but turns down a position as colonel;however, he's still got a lot of influence over Pennsylvania's militia.He also talks about the problems Quakers face as pacifists trying to contribute to a system of defense.With the Junto, he founds the University of Pennsylvania.Franklin also works on creating the first American public
hospital, better paving for Philadelphia's streets, and a better system for dusting London's streets.The French and Indian War is coming.Franklin writes a plan for uniting all the American colonies, but it doesn't go over well.They stay organized by individual colony.He helps General Edward Braddock get military supplies on credit from Pennsylvania citizens;since they don't know Braddock, Franklin has to put up collateral.This will bite him in the butt, though.In the middle of doing important military stuff – preparing for a battle at
Monongahela to take over Fort Duquesne – Braddock doesn't listen to Franklin's advice.They lose the battle and Braddock is killed.Luckily, he gives Franklin a large chunk of the money before that happens.Another general, Shirley, comes through for Franklin with more of the money.(Franklin never gets the rest.)Meanwhile, Franklin helps build forts in Pennsylvania for defense against the Native Americans and learns about the Moravian religion.He's briefly honored as a colonel, but turns down a position as general.Franklin also has scientific success: he works on experiments in electricity with his friends
Peter Collinson and Ebenezer Kinnersley.Collinson tells the Royal Society about
Franklin's ideas, and his work is published.He gets into a scholarly fight with Abbé Nollet, who has competing ideas, but the scientific public promotes Franklin's as the best.He's made a member of the Royal Society.The new governor, Denny, is having problems with the Pennsylvania Assembly.The
Assembly wants to pass a law that taxes colonists and Proprietors(the guys who own the colonies)more fairly to gather money for defending the colonies, part of which will be under the direction of General Loudon, but Denny won't sign it.Despite being delayed by Loudon, Franklin finally gets to go to London on behalf of the Assembly to work on mediation.(He never gets the rest of the money he covered for Braddock.)
In Part 4, Franklin consults with his friend Dr.Fothergill about the problem the Assembly's having and meets with Lord Granville, head of the King's privy council, about it.Lord Granville says the King makes laws just by talking, but Franklin argues that he can only approve/deny the colonists' laws once – he shouldn't be able to go back on his word.Lord Granville disagrees.Franklin and the Proprietors meet at Thomas Penn's house to talk about the dispute, and Franklin has to argue with the other side's attorney, Ferdinand Paris.He and the colonists spend one year waiting for the decision.Meanwhile, the Assembly and Governor Denny finally agree on the bill.The Proprietors petition to keep the bill from happening, because they don't want to be tasked, and everyone goes to court.There, Lord Mansfield mediates the case, and everyone comes to an agreement.The autobiography ends with the Assembly celebrating Franklin and firing Governor Denny.The colonists try to sue him, but don't succeed – he's too well connected.
