10 rules of life

Mom emailed me this today 
 
Subject: The ten commandments to follow in life
   Someone has  written these beautiful words. Must read and try to  understand the deep meaning of it.  They are like the  ten commandments to follow in life all the time.  
       
   1.    Prayer is not a  "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a  "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.  
     
   2.    So why is a  car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small?  Because our past is not as important as our future.   So, look ahead and move on. 
     
   3.    Friendship is  like a book.  It takes few seconds to burn, but it  takes years to write. 
     
   4.    All things in  life are temporary.  If it's going well, enjoy it, that  won't last long.  If it's going badly, don't worry,  that won't last long either. 
     
   5.    Old friends are  gold!  New friends are diamond!  If you get a  diamond, don't forget the gold!  Because to hold a  diamond, you always need a base of gold!  
     
   6.    Often when we  lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above  and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the  end!" 
     
   7.    When God solves  your problems, you have faith in His  abilities; when  God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your  abilities. 
     
   8.    A blind person  asked St. Anthony, "Can there be anything worse than losing  eye sight?"  He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!"  
     
   9.    When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses  them; sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that  someone has prayed for you. 
     
   10.    Worrying does  not take away tomorrow's troubles,  it takes  away today's peace   .
