1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called Life. Each day, you will be presented with opportunities to learn what you need to know. The lessons presented are often completely different from those you think you need.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial, error and experimentation. You can learn as much from failure as you can from success. Maybe more.
4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it then you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no stage of life that does not contain some lessons. As long as you are alive there lessons to be learned.
6. “There” is no better than “here”.
When your “there” has become a “here” you will simply discover another “there” that will again look better than your “here.”
7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you create with those tools and resources is up to you
9. The answers lie inside of you.
The solutions to all of life’s problems lie within your grasp. All you need to do is ask, look, listen and trust yourself.
10. You will forget all of this.

I first saw these in my local record shop in wales, where I used to spend time avoiding school. At the time I was told that they were anonymous, and had been found stuck on an old refridgerator door. I have never read Cheries book but I know at least that rule 10 is definitely true!
