I am reading his bio, very interesting person with lots to learn from. I particularly like his 13 Principles of Success. Something we could all asipire to!

1-Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.

2-Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself, avoid trifling conversation.

3-Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have it's time.

4-Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

5-Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; waste nothing.

6-Industry: Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

7-Sincerity: Use no harmful deceit; think innocently and justly; and if you speak, speak accordingly.

8-Justice: wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

9-Moderation: Avoid extremes; forebear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

10-Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes or habitation.

11-Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, nor at accidents.

12-Chastity: Be chaste in matters with the opposite sex.

13-Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
