Ben Franklin

The most remarkable thing about Benjamin Franklin is that he is a man who thinks like a child. As a child conceives after some deliberation the idea of opening a lemonade stand and simply does so, Mr. Franklin similarly started a newspaper, a library, and almost his own quasi-religious sect to name just a few of his accomplishments. The genius of Benjamin Franklin lies not with his ideas, not with the simple will to follow through with his ideas, but in the hardest and most necessary step, the execution. I doubt not that many of us have come up with amazing ideas, inspiring and ingenious, at numerous times in our lives. That ability is a gift we receive from our parents, bestowed upon us by our creator, having been made in his image and likeness. However, unlike our creator who's "will be done," we must oftentimes exert and sweat to achieve our goals.
