Walking Forward by Thinking Backward

In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Alice asks the Cheshire Cat, "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to walk from here?

“I don't much care where,” said Alice.

“Then it doesn't matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

“So long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”
