[00:05.243]If I Were a Boy Again
[00:11.529]If I were a boy again,
[00:13.368]I would practice perseverance oftener,
[00:17.298]and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.
[00:21.820]If we want light,
[00:22.976]we must conquer darkness.
[00:25.435]If I were to live my life over again,
[00:29.756]I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.
[00:33.979]I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means,
[00:37.775]and on every possible occasion.
[00:41.147]It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;
[00:45.167]but memory soon helps itself,
[00:47.611]and gives very little trouble.
[00:49.955]It only needs early cultivation to become a power.
[00:54.803]If I were a boy again,
[00:56.995]I would look on the cheerful side.
[00:59.595]Life is very much like a mirror if you smile upon it,
[01:03.651]it smiles back upon you;
[01:04.971]but if you frown and look doubtful on it,
[01:09.299]you will get a similar look in return.
[01:12.334]Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner,
[01:15.866]but of all that come in contact with it.
[01:18.835]“Who shuts love out,in turn shall be shut from love.”
[01:24.675]If I were a boy again,
[01:26.676]I would school myself to say “No ”oftener.
[01:30.479]I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life
[01:34.912]to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect,
[01:38.343]and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.
[01:45.114]If I were a boy again,
[01:47.286]I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends,
[01:52.13]and indeed towards strangers as well.
[01:55.322]The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life
[01:58.510]are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long,
[02:02.278]and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.
[02:07.74]Finally,instead of trying hard to be happy,
[02:10.539]as if that were the sole purpose of life,
[02:13.250]I would,if I were a boy again,
[02:16.562]try still harder to make others happy.
