    Make sure you read as well as listen.
    Please pass it along to the next generation. This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. The contest was Titled "u @ 50", by the 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 one minute & 44 seconds and watch it.

    Nice one Eileen. This is very hopeful, isn't it. I can imagine that it won first prize in some peoples' view.

    This video touches a nerv in each of us. I think that's why it's so strong.

    Great video. I didn't really get where it was going until then she started reading it in reverse, brilliantly done. I bet it took some time to get it all right, if this didn't win then which one did? I wish someone would fund this to run nationally since it does have a great message.
