From the Paper:

"Benjamin Franklin has always fascinated me personally as a remarkable personality due to the astonishing range of roles that he excelled in journalist, printer, diplomat, scientist, and philosopher most of us ordinary mortals can hardly master a single vocation in a lifetime!
So in writing this paper I wanted to highlight the contributions of one of my favorite personalities.

In studying the achievements of such extra-ordinary personalities from our history we are inspired to follow in their footsteps and can strive to lift our own life-standards to try and match the lofty benchmarks set for us.
