    From today onwards, I will evaluate myself on 13 virtues suggested by Benjamin Franklin namely (with weights). I will do the evaluation of the day just before sleeping at night.Total points =100
    1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness. Drink not to elevation. (10)
    2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation. (5)
    3. Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time. (10)
    4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve. (10)
    5. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e., Waste nothing.(5)
    6. Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.(10)
    7. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and if you speak, speak accordingly. (5)
    8. Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. (5)
    9. Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. (10)
    10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes, or habitation. (10)
    11. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. (5)
    12. Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation. (10)
    13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates. (5)

    There are not cutoffs to be crossed. I will just try to improve my scores everyday. Subjectivity would be there, but that's natural in any self-evaluation system.
