			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently discovered a blog called <a href="http://artofmanliness.com" target="_blank">The Art of Manliness</a>, in particular I discovered a series of posts on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin" target="_blank">Benjamin Franklin</a> and his pursuit to lead a more <a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/02/24/lessons-in-manliness-benjamin-franklins-pursuit-of-the-virtuous-life/#more-56" target="_blank">virtuous life</a>.  I was inspired by the logic the ideals set forth by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin#Virtue">Franklin</a> and have made a conscience effort to incorporate these ideals into my life as well.</p>
<p>The 13 Virtues (with links to the Art Of Manliness posts):</p>
<ol>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/03/02/the-virtuous-life-temperance/" target="_blank">TEMPERANCE</a>. Eat not      to dullness; drink not to elevation.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/03/10/the-virtuous-life-silence/" target="_blank">SILENCE</a>. Speak not      but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling      conversation.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/03/17/the-virtuous-life-order-become-a-master-of-the-universe/" target="_blank">ORDER</a>. Let all your      things have their places; let each part of your business have its      time.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/03/23/the-virtuous-life-resolution/" target="_blank">RESOLUTION</a>. Resolve      to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/03/30/the-virtuous-life-frugality/" target="_blank">FRUGALITY</a>. Make no      expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/04/06/the-virtuous-life-industry/" target="_blank">INDUSTRY</a>. Lose no      time; be always employ’d in something useful; cut off all unnecessary      actions.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/04/13/the-virtuous-life-sincerity/" target="_blank">SINCERITY</a>. Use no      hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak      accordingly.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/04/20/the-virtuous-life-justice/" target="_blank">JUSTICE</a>. Wrong none      by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/04/27/the-virtuous-life-moderation/" target="_blank">MODERATION</a>. Avoid      extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they      deserve.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="The Virtuous Life: Cleanliness" target="_blank">CLEANLINESS</a>. Tolerate      no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="The Virtuous Life: Tranquility" target="_blank">TRANQUILLITY</a>. Be not      disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/05/18/the-virtuous-life-chastity/" target="_blank">CHASTITY</a>. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.”</em></li>
<li><em>“<a href="http://artofmanliness.com/2008/05/25/the-virtuous-life-humility/" target="_blank">HUMILITY</a>. Imitate      Jesus and <a title="Socrates" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates" target="_blank">Socrates</a>.”</em></li>
</ol>
<p>I do not use a system like Franklin <a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/jefferson/images/vc65.jpg" target="_blank">did</a>, you could by getting <a href="http://www.diyplanner.com/templates/official/hpda/addons/franklin" target="_blank">Hipster</a> <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/goals/ben-franklin-in-your-diy-planner-157421.php" target="_blank">PDA</a> templates just like Franklin used to use.</p>
