Life at 50 (Through the Eyes of a 20 Year Old)

 

Malcolm posted the most touching and brilliant video I've seen in a long time....

it caused me to think of the people I know, and how some of them fall into the first category.

Thankfully I know more who fall into the second...including my wonderful sons.

Thanks for posting this Malcolm!

 

 

Via Malcolm Johnston (Remax Trent Valley, Trenton, Ontario):

This video was created by a 20 year old and entered into a contest sponsored by the AARP. The purpose of the contest was to find out what 20 year olds thought life would be when they reach the age of 50.

I have to say that this is a very clever video, but you have to watch the whole thing to understand just how clever this young person is. It's well worth 1 minute and 44 seconds of your time to be inspired by this.

I don't remember being that clever when I was 20

Jo, thanks for directing us to Malcolm's blog.  I thought that was very creative and hope many more twenty year olds feel the same.

WOW Jo...I think the 20 somethings should be called the consistant generation...no matter how bad things are or are slated to be....that age group brings back the hope. Over and over again....

You were right, Jo - you have to view the whole video to appreciate the cleverness of what this young woman has done.  She also has great values!

John,

Hope is something young people have plenty of and I know they are serious about making a difference towards healing the earth.

Hi Jo, This was an excellent post and I understand why you re-blogged it. Hopefully his creative genius and profound awareness will contribute to doing what he processes. To reverse it. Even better, to inspire the prevention of  it from becoming inevitable.
