Impossible to possible
It was a common belief that humans cannot run 1 mile in 4 minutes. The belief was so strong that they thought if anyone tries to attempt the body will simply collapse and not able to make take it!
Thursday, 6 May 1954, Roger Bannister demonstrated the
impossible to possible by completing the 1 mile within 4 minutes. To be
precise 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds! What is more significant is within 46 days
John Landy from Australia broke his record. As of today thousands of athletes
broke this 1 mile in 4 minutes record, including high school kids!
So what has changed before 1954 and after 1954?
it is the belief system. When someone demonstrates and broke the old belief
system, others also start to believe that it is possible to move the impossible
to possible.
Norman Vincent Peale starts the first sentence
in his book The Power of Positive thinking - Believe in yourself. Are you going
to make it or break it, depends on you?
Dr Martin Luther King Jr beautifully quoted
"Do not allow somebody to tell you are nobody." You are unique and
only you can do certain things which this world required. It may be like a drop
of water on the ocean, but the ocean will always remain less without that
single drop water!
Believe in yourself and make the impossible to
possible.
