If I were a girl 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,” 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 to skate in two directions at once.
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.
