Doing a lot of tactics will help (Like a lot). Try reading a book or some article on the basic principles of chess. Learn basic opening, middle game and end game ideas and strategies. This should help you a lot. Good luck!

The answer is to play rapid chess with half an hour on the clock. You'll make fewer mistakes and get a higher rating. 10 minutes is still too fast to think about the ideas behind positions. Assuming pieces aren't dropped by either side chess games are frequently won in the transition between opening, middle and end. It is much easier to manage moving between the different stages of the game with more time.

Eat or get eaten.
That's the nature. If you are not good enough to kick the ass of your opponent your opponent will kick your ass and he'll love it!
