10 Commandments Of Living

These are like the ten commandments to follow
in life all the time....what a wonderful world
this would be. These are good, too!


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 a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large &
the Rear view Mirror is 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 going well,
enjoy it, they will not last forever.
If going wrong, don't worry, they can'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, and 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.

Myself, By Edgar Guest

Myself
by Edgar Guest
I have to live with myself, and so,
I want to be fit for myself to know;
I want to be able as days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I've done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of man I really am;
I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
I want to deserve all men's respect;
But here in this struggle for fame and pelf,
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to think as I come and go
That I'm for bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me,
I see what others may never see,
I know what others may never know,
I never can fool myself -- and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.
