We provide a [free] service for the most universal desire: the desire to be a better person.
To fulfill this desire, you can use the state-of-the-art personal development system designed by Benjamin Franklin. Eventually, with persistence and dedication, you can develop and maintain balance in your life and attain your aspirations and achieve your goals.
In his twenties, Benjamin Franklin identified the thirteen virtues in life by which he chose to live.  He designed a pragmatic method to assist him in practicing them and making them “habits of the heart", all throughout his long life.  Franklin believed that by living this virtue-filled program for self-improvement he would be able to reach his goals and to achieve health, wealth, wisdom and good reputation. He featured a specific virtue each week and designed a method of rigorous self-control, registering every fault committed against the virtues.
As a result, he had become one of the most prolific people in American history and influential and beloved Founding Fathers of the United States of America, was a leading author and printer, a satirist, a political theorist, a politician, a scientist, and inventor, a civic activist, a statesman and a diplomat.  All in one lifetime!
Your Quest
Every society is founded upon its virtues, and every person is defined by the virtues that he puts to practice. You may feel that one friend is loving, generous, and sensitive person, and that your enemy is someone who is hateful, stingy, and rude. In this example you have defined your friend by the virtues that you like in him, and your enemy by his lack of virtues. Your value to yourself, your loved ones, and the world is directly related to your virtues!
A virtue is more than a single person's idea or belief; it is an idea that is shared in common within a  culture. Each society has a system of shared beliefs that help that community grow and flourish peacefully. People who have these virtues in themselves set themselves up to thrive in their community and have healthy, happy relationships with their loved ones. People will learn to trust you and you will become a productive individual once you have the tools to reach your full potential.
How do you improve your virtues? The first step is to learn what they are and what they mean. Many cultures and social groups throughout the world have created their own set of virtues, but while many of them share much in common only a few will be suited for you and your goals. Our program will help you find the ideas and values that will specifically improve your life.
We will then guide you on your next step, where you learn about the specifics of each virtue and how they will impact your life. You will learn why they are vital for your personal growth an
