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 surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail."
If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; 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 fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so" , and the reason is, the habit was 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 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. 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 author. We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that may never appear. "The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear."
