If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of memory. I would strengthen that ability by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things exactly, but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.假如我能重新活过,我会更加注意开发自己的记忆力。我要采取一切可能的办法,在一切可能的时刻来增强 记忆力。要精确地记住事物,起初需要作出一番小小的努力,但用不了多久,记忆力本身就会发挥作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事。只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种能力。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 writer. Life is full of dangers, but courage will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate, and there is nothing to be feared.假如我再回到童年,我会培养自己的勇气。一位有智慧的作家曾说过:“世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅, 也没有东西比怯懦更残酷无情。” 人生充满危险,但勇气通常能战胜最可怕的危险。对一切祸福作好准备,就没 有什么可害怕的了。
