第一If I were a boy again

第一If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. "There are only two creatures," syas a proverb, "who can get to the top of the pyramids—the eagle and the snail."第二 If I were a boy again, I would develop my concentration; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begain early enough. I often hear grown up people say "I could not concentrate on the book although I wanted to the reason is that the habit was not formed in young.(第三)If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.（第四）If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice," syas a wise writer life

Life is very much a mirror: if you smile upon it, It smiles back upon you; but if you frown on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but all those who come in contact with it.（第六）If I were a boy again, I would say no more often. I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.（第七）If I were a boy again, I would be more courteous and respectful toware my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.（第八）Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the only purpose of life, I would , if I were a boy again, try harder to make others happy.
