**-- HERE IS THE VIDEO TRANSCRIPT --** Showing the President Your Buttocks. Hi, I'm Steve Weber. To celebrate the movie Forrest Gump being 25 years old, I've put together a video series of 94 of the best scenes - and a corresponding life lesson from each of those scenes - to celebrate one of the best movies of all time. Here is scene 54 titled: Forrest shows the President his wound. Forrest showed President Johnson - his Commander in Chief - his wound on the buttocks when asked by the President. This scene is another one of several where actual historical footage was used. Forrest was inserted into the old footage using modern video editing techniques. In 1965, President Johnson had gall bladder surgery. He surprised the press by pulling up his shirt to reveal his scar. Forrest was no different than the President, he gladly showed off his wound when asked. It takes Gumption to show off your scares -whether they are physical or emotional. Forrest Gump had Gumption in showing the President his buttocks. Do you want to be more gump-like? ... Don't be embarrassed by your scars, show them off when asked. Use discretion, but own both your emotional and physical scars. Let's learn to live our lives with Gumption.
