If I were a Boy Again;1. What would you do if you could possibly live your middle school life again? ;Part I (Para. 1-2);I would practice perseverance oftener, and …;to get to the top of sth;I would cultivate courage. ;The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear. ;… life is very much like a mirror …; … a young boy can stand erect. ; … I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends …;Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would, if I were a boy again, try still harder to make others happy. ;Para 1 If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance oftener, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. ;Para 2 Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids — the eagle and the snail.” ;Para 3 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. Para 4 The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin 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. ;Para 5 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. ;Para 6 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,” says a wise author. ;Pa
