Got your attention?  I hope so. The palindrome for you to watch is an important reminder that when we look with new eyes, the context of the world changes in the blink of our eyes. Read it forwards and then read the same words backwards and see what changes occur inside you.

 

First, an example: “Tillit” is a Swedish word that means the same thing reading it forwards and backwards. It means “trust”, and the power of this word is that trust can only happen if both sides are aligned. You are on one side of “tillit” and I am on the other.

 

Now on to the palindrome that was sent to me by Barry Ginnetti, President of GMR Group, and a graduate of our Total Leadership Connections Program. It is a wonderful example of the essence of what we teach: we are all connected and no one wins unless we all do.

  

Take 2 minutes and watch this…THE ENTIRE THING

(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.)

Yes it is a very inspiring video and give me as a 26 year old hope in my future, another very inspiring video is this one, it basically tells about how you can succeed if you don’t give up and embrace the fact that failure is part of the process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmEwVC9x-h4&feature=player_embedded, i found it on http://sixminutes.dlugan.com/love-the-process/ a blog about public speaking.
