Many of the ideas of his thirteen virtues were good but I think a number of them are impossible to achieve much less all of them at once. Frugality, for example, is a good idea but it is impossible to waste nothing. The closest you can get is to waste very little which I admit is a good habit. Also the idea of having no unnecessary actions is impossible. Everyone does some actions that are unnecessary involuntarily. Tranquility, on the other hand, is the virtue that i believe is the most valuable of the thirteen. It allows one to think clearly even in the most dangerous or confusing situations. His virtues are good ideas and people should attempt to master them but moral perfection is impossible.
