Benjamin Franklin

Cultivate a society free of and easy;
Free, as being, from the dominion of vice, free from debt which exposes a man to confinement and a species of slavery to his creditors.

He postponed n postponed till he no longer strength to start his enterprise. He tot of man of tolerable activities may work great changes and accomplish great affairs among mankind if he first forms a good plan and cutting off all amusements or other employments that wld divert his attention, makes the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.

Soul - we all workin for the banks. Suddenly tot of we eat n pay to the banks for d rental. Tot we shld hav own house doing 2 or 3 tables. Chef who love to cook but don wan to hav ohds.
This give me motivation to start my ambitious plan to give mankind a pleasant life.
And since I hav always analyse, understand and counsel a few friends, if I make it my biz and study, I would go very far.

Benjamin Franklin
Always render accounts and make remittances wit great clearness and punctuality, especially to new employment/business.

After getting the first hundred pounds, it is more easy to get the second, money itself being of a prolific nature.

Partnership often finish in quarrels but I was happy in that mine were all carried on and end amicably,due to precaution of having very explicitly settled, in our articles, everything to be done or expected from each partner, so that nothing to dispute. This recommended to all who enter into partnership. For whatever esteem partners may have for, and confidence in, each other at the time of the contract, little jealousies and disgusts may arise with ideas of inequality in the care and burden of the business, etc, which are attended often with breach of friendship and of the connection, perhaps wit lawsuit and other disagreeable consequences.

Soul - 2nd 100 will be much easier than 1st 100; will remember that it is not an uphill task. Jus like d first decision to do samyama was so much difficult vs telling family m not around for CNY vs to do 40 days vegetarian. It has been much easier n easier. The great difficulty was in d beginning.
Yea, partnership among me n and my good friends. We need to establish the costing/time spent/profit. Need to set out d role in d respective phase. I know C n me wld be in d long term, but V is in d initial set up n marketing phase and also quarterly campaign/promotion. Wil think abt this too.
Mmm, surprisingly I m reading BJ at such an appropriate time. If I had read it earlier, it wouldn't accord me such help as now when I m goin to run a biz on partnership. I know me doing alone not possible as my skill is skewed n need C too. As for d platform/marketing needs V.


Father, thank you for sending BJ to me at this time...very timely
