I founded the Junto club for mutual improvement from "summary" of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin
When I first came to Philadelphia, I was a young man with a desire to improve myself. I realized that in order to succeed, I needed to surround myself with like-minded individuals who shared my passion for self-improvement. With this in mind, I decided to establish a club where we could come together to share knowledge, ideas, and experiences. I called this club the Junto, and its primary purpose was mutual improvement. We would meet every Friday evening to discuss various topics, ranging from philosophy and science to business and politics. Each member would take turns leading the discussion, allowing us to learn from one another and broaden our perspectives. One of the key principles of the Junto was the spirit of openness and honesty. We encouraged members to speak freely and share their thoughts without fear of judgment. This created a supportive and collaborative environment where everyone felt comfortable expressing their opinions and challenging each other's beliefs. In addition to our weekly meetings, the Junto also engaged in community service projects and charitable endeavors. We believed that true self-improvement extended beyond personal development and should also benefit society as a whole. By giving back to our community, we not only improved ourselves but also made a positive impact on the world around us. Through the Junto, I was able to connect with some of the brightest minds in Philadelphia and expand my knowledge in ways I never thought possible. The club became a cornerstone of my personal growth and professional success, shaping me into the man I am today. The Junto was more than just a club - it was a platform for transformation and enlightenment, a place where individuals could come together to better themselves and the world around them.
