本杰明•富兰克林：终身学习者

作为一名作家、科学家、发明家，同时也是美国开国元勋之一，本杰明・富兰克林是一位多才多艺的人,

是18世纪最著名的人物之一。

从小，富兰克林对学习的热爱就使他与众不同。作为一个大家庭中的第17个孩子，富兰克林在不得不

开始工作之前只有两年的教育经历。

在他哥哥的印刷店里工作时，富兰克林通过大量阅读自学成才。他经常向书商借书，并且熬夜到很晚

以便第二天一早归还。

对周围世界充满好奇的富兰克林曾经对研究风暴产生了兴趣。他追踪了风暴并进行了许多测试。然后

他发现风暴从一个地方移动到另一个地方。他的发现有助于预测天气。更重要的是，富兰克林对科学有着

极大的热爱，因此他无数的发明并不令人惊讶。即使在晚年70多岁的时候，他还发明了一种特殊的玻璃来

帮助自己看得更清楚。富兰克林并没有从任何一项发明中赚钱，而是让人们免费使用它们。他的伟大之处

远不止于此。作为一个终身学习者，他将学习视为一个激动人心且永无止境的旅程，充满了惊奇和成功。

这是他对世界最伟大的礼物。
