Why is a CAR&#8217;S WINDSHIELD so LARGE &amp; the REAR VIEW MIRROR so small? BECAUSE our PAST is NOT as IMPORTANT as OUR FUTURE. So, LOOK AHEAD and MOVE ON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>?3). FRIENDSHIP is like a BOOK. It takes a FEW SECONDS to BURN, but it TAKES YEARS to WRITE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4). All THINGS in LIFE are TEMPORARY. If they are GOING WELL, ENJOY them, they WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. If they are going wrong, don&#8217;t WORRY, THEY CAN&#8217;T LAST LONG EITHER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5). Old FRIENDS are GOLD! NEW friends are DIAMONDS! If you GET a DIAMOND, DON&#8217;T FORGET the GOLD! To HOLD a DIAMOND, you ALWAYS NEED a BASE of GOLD!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6).

When ALLAH SOLVES your PROBLEMS, you HAVE FAITH in HIS ABILITIES; when ALLAH DOESN&#8217;T SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS, HE has FAITH in YOUR ABILITIES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8). A BLIND PERSON asked ALLAH : &#8220;CAN THERE be ANYTHING WORSE THAN LOSING EYE SIGHT?&#8221; HE REPLIED: &#8220;YES, LOSING YOUR VISION!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9). When YOU PRAY for OTHERS, ALLAH LISTEN to YOU and BLESSES THEM, and SOMETIMES, when you are SAFE and HAPPY, REMEMBER that SOMEONE has PRAYED for YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10).
