"You've GOT to follow your dreams, no matter what your age." "...what freaks me out is, how much time has gone by and how little is time left."
I have to admit, I was feeling pretty cynical and Machiavellian in my attitude towards humanity today (and lately)... I saw this video and instantly felt better! Thank you Diana Nyad for truly being an inspiration! Can you believe this woman is 61?!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Diana had to stop her swim after 60 miles (more than half way), 29 hours. I am hesitant to say she "failed", because damn, she sure gave it her best shot! Regardless of the outcome, this lady is still one heckuva role model - and tough as they come!
As cliche as it sounds, your mom and kindergarten teacher were right: no one is a failure who gives it their all and tries their best! Hats off to you, Ms. Nyad!
