The 47 Peanut Butter Principles for Success in Life
Eric believes that the reason for his success in life is due to following the Judeo-Christian life principles that his mother and father taught him as a child. Now he has written about these life lessons through a series of 47 concepts that he says are as wholesome as a peanut butter sandwich.
The Peanut Butter Principles are divided into five categories: the Super Self, Making Wishes Come True, the School of Life, Relationships, and Making Choices.
He gave examples from each section through the course of the interview.
In the Super Self section, he provided the following example--"be yourself due to the fact that everyone else is taken." Mr. Franklin warned about the inherent risk of imitating celebrities or famous people and others mentioned in the media since the most essential thing to do is to only copy those good qualities that reflect your own nature.
In the Making Wishes Come True section, he provide the following example--"the only difference between a goal and a dream is a due date." Mr. Franklin showed that in order to achieve anything, a person has to choose an objective, come up with a plan, and figure out a way to measure how much progress was made in goal achievement.
A principle in the School of Life is "if you're not early, you're late." In this principle, Eric emphasizes that showing up on time shows respect for the other person's time. Someone who is punctual will often do better in life and will be treated better by other people. This principle hints at the golden rule that you should treat people the way that you want to be treated.
A concept in Relationships is the following: "Learn to follow if you want to learn how to lead and how to serve." Eric went over the steps necessary for someone to learn to express the qualities of a natural leader. He said that before a person could learn how to lead, he or she had to follow and discover things through positive examples. Later, after a person had become a leader, then he or she had a duty to focus on serving others.
A principle in Making Good Choices is "a lesson not learned has to be repeated." In this principle, Eric shares something his father, a teacher, taught him. The reason for repeat marriages or recidivism is because people do not reflect on the lessons in their previous experience. When a lesson is not learned, people are not equipped to move to a higher level of achievement because they keep doing the same erroneous things over and over again.
In conclusion, the Peanut Butter Fundamentals was written to help Moms and Dads in child-raising. Now the book has actually become popular in charter schools and mentoring agencies for children. In the past, character education was once taught in the public school system, but, for budgetary reasons, it is no longer in vogue.
