벤자민프랭클린

"Tell me and I forget, teach me, and I may remember, involve me and I learn."

얘기해주면 잊어버리고, 가르쳐주면 기억하기도 한다. 그러나 참여시켜 직접 해보게 하면 배우게 된다.

In his autobiography, Ben Franklin describes how he worked to improve his writing. Franklin found prose he judged to be excellent, wrote a short encapsulation of each sentence's main idea (he called them hints), put them aside for several days, and then tried to recreate the original using only his hints. He then compared his work with the original, making corrections where he fell short, and sometimes finding that he seemed to have improved on the original.

    My intention being to acquire the habitude of all these virtues, I judg'd it would be well not to distract my attention by attempting the whole at once, but to fix it on one of them at a time; and, when I should be master of that, then to proceed to another, and so on, till I should have gone thro' the thirteen; and, as the previous acquisition of some might facilitate the acquisition of certain others, I arrang'd them with that view, as they stand above.

과학자로서 피뢰침을 발명하였다는 등의 익히 알려진 사실을 제외하고서도.. (전혀 예상치 못한 분야에 있어서) 그의 업적은 실로 다양하다. 1732년 일종의 회원제 도서관(Subscription Library)인 필라델피아 도서관(Philadelphia Library)을 설립하여 근대 공공도서관의 발달에 지대한 영향을 주었다. 또한 폴 임의 <책속의 책>에는 미국 최초의 잡지로 기록된 <제너럴 매거진 앤드 히스토리컬 크로니클 General Magazine & Historical Chronicle>을 발행한 사람이 바로 프랭클린이라고 적고 있다. --발광문정
