 Personality-What is proper, characteristic of


each person and distinguishes him as a
conscious and free individuality; ; one's own
way of being.

 Sincerity- is one of the ways to conquer and


impress people. Without sincerity you do
nothing. Being honest basically describes you
as a human being.
 Throughout human history there have been many
personalities who have influenced our civilization.
One such personality is Benjamin Franklin:
• He started one of the first public libraries in Philadelphia. He was for many
years the postmaster of Philadelphia, and in 1753 became Postmaster General
of the Thirteen Colonies. In 1757 he went to live in London as agent for
Pennsylvania and later for other colonies.
•Franklin called himself a printer, but is also known for his writings. Among
some of the more well known are Poor Richard's Almanack, and the
Pennsylvanian.
•Franklin was a scientist who studied experiments in an effort to improve or
correct them. One of his greatest contributions was in the theory of electricity.
Most people see Franklin as one of history's greatest inventors. For example,
he invented the lightning rod and bifocals, the Franklin stove, and the 
glass harmonica.
 Last wish his daughter not to adopt
"the costly, vain and useless habit of
wearing jewelry“- he did not like
someone to wear expensive jewelry,
he liked simplicity and sincerity.
He liked everyone to be equal and
sincere. Let each be simple in his
own way and not be proud.And so it
influenced us to be equal and enjoy
what we have.
