If I were a boy again, I would practice pereverance more often, and never give up a thing becaue it wa or inconvenient. If we want light, we mut conquer darkne. Pereverance can ometime equal geniu in it reult. “There are only two creature,” ay a proverb, “who can urmount the pyramid—the eagle and the nail.”
If I were a boy again, I would chool myelf into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the ubject in hand. I would remember that a good kater never trie to kate in two direction at once.
The habit of attention become part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown up people ay “ I could not fix my attention on the ermon or book, although I wihed to do o” , and the reaon i, the habit wa not formed in youth.
If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would trengthen that faculty by every poible mean, and on every poible occaion. It take a little hard work at firt to remember thing accurately; but memory oon help itelf, and give very little trouble. It only need early cultivation to become a power.
假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。
毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。”WWw.hAOZuowEn.com
假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手，就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。
如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。
假如我现在能重新开始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。
