Diana Nyad had a dream for the past 30 years. She wanted to be the first to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. That is on average about a 60 hour swim on a good day. The waters between Cuba and Florida are filled with sharks and jellyfish. But she survived. Ms. Nyad is also 64 years old. And this wasn't her first attempt, it was her fifth. But as Julie Andrews once said, "Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th." So in honor of Ms. Nyad, here is an interview not long after she completed her historic swim. Remember her mantra, "Find a way."
