With a person who's as accomplished as Franklin there's always the possibility of him becomming deified and he makes sure in his autobiography to inlude many of his errors and mistakes i think to help discourage his deification and in turn to prevent ordinary people being put off. In other words he knew that it's a lot harder for someone reading the book to learn from perfection than it is to learn from someone's mistakes (which were mistakes that are pretty common in man lives) Well that's my cents worth Anyway i love the blog I hope it lasts - it's nice to have a daily thought stimulator. I know a lot of startup blogs have trouble but you have my support !!! :) yea i liked this part as well i think it really helps to characterize him as only human.
