Hero for a day Once I was asked in primary school which historical figure would you most like to have been. At the time, you would pick the greatest general or the most recent historial figure that you would have been in contact with. Probably now twenty years later and with a history degree, my historical hero's have changed. Gone are the warrior hero's types, the Davy crocketts and the Gengsis Khans, more the Raoul Wallenburgs and Martin Luther King. Yet Ben Franklins life and attitude to life is one to examine in greater detail. Currently reading a biography of this great man and recently walked in his footsteps in Boston, so far I have read 89 pages and already you could easily have annotate enough from that would allow you to create your own "moral perfection project", a way to live your life. Yes a day in the life of Ben Franklin would have been a day worth living.
