This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward. Thanks to Ecumen's Sue Ferguson for sending it this way.

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 video 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.

    This was great to watch--I felt myself getting so uncomfortable with the negative words-- I was thinking about my own college-aged and beyond kids and their futures...then the turnaround and the hope and optimism--it brought tears to my eyes! I have to share it with others too.Thanks!
