if i were a girl AGAIN

if i were a girl again, i would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was difficult or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. 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."

if i were a girl 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 in two direction at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough.

If i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to 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 1st to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.
