Never, Ever Give Up, you can also see the Taj Mahal while achieving your lifetime goal, and you do not need to be in INDIA
HER BIO
For ten years (1969-1979), Diana Nyad was known as the greatest long-distance swimmer in the world. In 1979, she stroked the then-longest swim in history, making the 102.5-mile journey from the island of Bimini (Bahamas) to Florida. She also broke numerous world records, including what had been a 50-year mark for circling Manhattan Island, setting the new time of 7 hrs 57 min. She is a member of the National Women’s Hall of Fame and the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
At age 60, having not swum a stroke in decades, she began planning for her white whale of distance swims: the 110-mile ocean crossing between Cuba and Florida. She'd tried it once, in her 20s, and severe jellyfish attacks had defeated her then. But now, with a strong team and a new commitment to her vision, she stepped back into the salt. She spoke about this second attempt at TEDMED 2011. And at TEDWomen 2013, in December, she talks about how it feels to have finally done it.
Nyad appears as part of a weekly five-minute radio piece on sports for KCRW called "The Score" (heard during KCRW's broadcast of NPR's All Things Considered), as well as for the Marketplace radio program.

WHO MOVED MY CHEESE
Does this Cheese Story reflect our working behaviours?
Do we need to reinvent ourselves so to find new opportunities?
Can we evolve and progress within a conservative and traditional company?
Is there room nowdays for conservative people willing to work in a private company with a long-term mindset?
Does it mean freeedom for everybody to experience and overcome risk taking decisions?
A changing process does this always implies improvement or may also worsen things?
Should we blame somebody looking for a safety net, wanting to be away from risk and changing scenarios?

THE UNKNOWN TALENT SHOULD BE KNOWN, SHARED AND CONVEYED
A Spanish composer (Jose Manuel Sanchez ) writes "Cancion de Invierno" (A winter´s song), showing talent, skills and creativity hidden under his invulnerable and unspoiled quiet place. A tribute to these great artists that love music regardless of who wants to listen and buy their music. Congratulations !!!!
