Answer:

The anecdote reveals that Franklin understands that some of his goals are unrealistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

After some time he, Franklin figures out how to address a large portion of his faults. Franklin winds up being satisfied with his powerlessness to consummate every one of his ideals, choosing, "a speckled axe is best....A benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance."

It might be said that Benjamin Franklin´s virtues were that he was methodical, logical, organised because he wanted to be productive. however, his attempt to become more orderly made him get tired. He did not have to spire perfection because it was boring and even dull.
