假如再回到童年
If I were a boy 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 cansurmount 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 began 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.
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聽牧師講道或讀書,但往往做不到。"而原因就是年輕時沒有養成這種習慣。
假如我現在能重新開始我的生命,我就要更注意記憶力的培養。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。

你喜歡的休閒方式
What I like doing to relax is practicing Tai Chi. There is a nice park near my home where I can practice it in comfort. I usually practice it in the morning, I go because if you practice it in the evening it may be difficult for you to sleep. I will try to continue this hobby if I go overseas. I am not sure how much time I will have, but I'll try to see if any clubs exist. I do know some of the moves, so I will probably be practicing it at home. I first started Tai Chi when I was 20 years old. I had never tried it before that time because I had always thought it was just for old people. The first day I tried it, I really felt great, although I still wasn't sure about all the movements.
Basically with Tai Chi I just practice a very smooth flow and try to regulate my breathing for maximum effect. So I just float my hands in various patterns and learn to exhale and inhale according to the harmony of my movements.
I think the feeling it gives you is hard to describe. Your concentration must be very solid, and that's not always easy to do. Afterwards, you will feel at peace, although you may also experience some slight stiffness. I think it will make you feel that all things in life can be controlled and handled smoothly, just like your body. I mean, your body is a very complex instrument, so if you can control that first you can control anything, no matter how complex it is.
