Poor Richard's Almanack by Benjamin Franklin
4.0
Something that you can read anytime, everytime. A classic book for people to learn from his experiences, although I seem to notice that some of the advices are recurrent. He mainly talks about being frugal, living the 7 virtues, and other social commentaries that would make you a better person.
Its amazing that some of his proverbs are already 'cliched' in today's societies - and I was surprised to see his short comments on the weather, science, religions and other interesting short articles he has written. He also has a Malay proverb - the one about a young rice stalk is active and sprightly - but with age, experience and wisdom, the stalk grows heavier, and its head bows down near to the ground - a sign of humility for those who are learned.
I recommend it to people who would want an easy browsing on how to have better life skills and manners from ol' Ben Frank.
