From my experience of rail travel, it seems that most people like to face the direction of travel. On airplanes too, we all face the way we’re going; except for the stewards who sit facing us, backs to the cockpit – maybe they know something?
In races, most people like to know where the start and the end points are and they normally face the direction of travel. This means that they can see the race unfolding, see who is in front and by how far and crucially see the winning post so that they can make a last minute charge.
I can only think of two races that are run with one’s back to the finish line – rowing and backstroke swimming.
A person who has a strong vision, doesn’t continually need to keep checking the line. The power of a great vision is that it’s in your mind’s eye rather than your actual eye. Without turning to look, people with a strong conviction of what they’re doing and what it will bring them, don’t have to keep looking at the prize or checking on the progress of everyone else.
