In 1952, Florence attempted to swim the 26 miles/ 42 kilometer between
Catalina Island and the California coastline. After 15 hours and 55 minutes,
with only a half mile to go, Chadwick felt that she couldn't go on any further
and asked to be taken out of the water due to heavy fog.

When asked why she failed, she
answered «I couldn’t see the goal»

the 21-mile Catalina channel

This time too, a thick fog surrounded her as she swam, but when
the reporter asked why she succeeded this time and not the last,
she answered, «I kept visualizing a mental image of my goal»

There is a big information gap
One of the more striking findings in this year’s survey is the fact that the
‘information gap’ – the gap between the data CEOs need and what they get
has not closed in the ten years since we last asked them these questions.
