The rear view mirror in your car is MUCH SMALLER than your windscreen. This is because you spend a lot more time looking out your windscreen because this is where most of the important stuff is going to come from.

Retrospect is the rear-view mirror of life. Don't spend too much time looking in it or you'll miss out on the IMPORTANT STUFF that's coming up.

Oh, and use the side mirrors instead of the rear-view mirror from time to time, just so you get a different persopective on the past.

Enough said.

And keep the windscreen clear of bugs.
