2013 is soon over, much happened this year, much that was wonderful and much that was awful, but what I want to remember from 2013 is this fantastic lesson coming to us from the brave Diana Nyad, who did something this summer that nobody thought was possible.
She swam non-stop for 53 hours from Cuba to Florida, thus achieving at the age of 64 the dream she'd had since she was twenty. Amazing! And remember, this is a dream that champion swimmers have had for the past 75 years without anyone ever achieving it.
Here's her TED talk about it (done in December), enjoy it!
She's right: Never, ever give up! This applies not only to sports, but to everything in life.
Happy 2014!
