I would practice perseverance more often,
and never give up a thing 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,a
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.
假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，決不因為事情艱難或者麻煩而撒手不幹，我們要光明，就得征服黑暗。
毅力在效果上有時能同天才相比。俗話說：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有兩種——鷹和蝸牛。”
假如我又回到了童年，我就要養成專心致志的`習慣;有事在手，就決不讓任何東西讓我分心。
我要牢記：優秀的滑冰手從不試圖同時滑向兩個不同的方向。
如果及早養成這種專心致志的習慣，它將成為我們生命的一部分。
我常聽成年人說：“雖然我希望能集中注意力聽牧師講道理或讀書，但往往做不到。”
而原因就是年輕時沒有養成這種習慣。
我要採取一切可能的辦法，並且在一切可能的場合，增強記憶力。
要正確無誤地記住一些東西，在開始階段的確要作出一番小小的努力;
但要不了多久，記憶力本身就會起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事，只需及早培養，記憶自會成為一種才能。
