Why Thinking Backward Is Best
I received this from my father (don’t know who sent it to him), and I almost didn’t listen. However, curiosity getting the better of me I clicked the link in his email (whereas I’ve just posted the video below to make it easy for you).
Here’s the email that came with the link:
A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.
This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.
This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled “u @ 50″ by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant. Take a minute and watch it.
(If you have a good monitor and a great graphics card you’ll be able to read along. However, even if you cannot see the words, listen with your soul wide open.)

What a wonderful video! There is hope for the next generation! If we all could listen to this with open heart, mind and soul, we would all be better for it. Thank you and dad for sharing.

Agreed! Actually listening to the first version and I was ready to jump off the Empire State Building. Then, thankfully, read backwards and it actually brought tears to my eyes! Here’s to looking forward in a positive fashion!
