u @ 50

I got this email today. I thought it was wonderful.

This is amazing - as you listen intently follow along with the words forward and backward......

Make sure you read as well as listen. 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 a minute and watch it. Make sure right to the end. ....ENJOY !!!

If only we all thought like the author did . I'm not an environmentalist , I'm an avid hunter , fisherwoman... I am a conservationist . I believe that the generations coming up , and the ones in their 20's do think it's a throw away society . They believe that everything should be handed to them , and that they don't have to work for it . I have a step daughter who is like that , but I'm trying to slowly mold her into a "good" human being . Her brother dropped out of school 4 months before graduation....no car, no drivers liscence . He got a job for $450 a month , moved out of his mothers house . He plays on the computer 16+ hrs a day . It's not the generation...it's how the parents raise the kids !!! I thank God everyday for my choice to not have kids . I would have been in jail for "abusing" them . My step daughter learned early that soap in the mouth really doesn't taste that great . I'm 29 yrs old.....my niece is 5 and I teach her that whining won't get you anywhere in life . I'm so glad that there are a few young ones out there who know what lifes all about.....maybe I can convince my husband to make sure my step daughter does her homework , and chores . ( he has a broken arm right now....we just went camping....guess who had to cook , clean dishes , etc . I even tried talking to her about it . She always feels bad , but says she's too lazy . BTW...she's 14 .

Loved the poem.......sounds like she's got her priorities straight....too bad most parents aren't willing to get off their bums to teach the kids what right and wrong is ( including my husband ) He is my heart and soul though .
