There was a time when it was believed
that human cannot run a mile with in four minutes time frame. All the sports
experts, physiotherapists and athletes believed our human body is not capable
of doing it.
The only athlete who held the record timing of 4 minutes and
1.4 Seconds was Gunder Haegg from Sweden. He placed that record in 1945 and it
was unbroken for almost 9 years until Roger Bannister came with a bang. Roger
broke Gunder’s record by running the mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 Seconds. He accomplished
something considered as impossible. He stunned the world by breaking the four
minute barrier.
Once Roger broke that record and 4 minute barrier, there
were more than 15 athletes ran the mile with in 4 minute mark with in next
three years. In fact Rogers’s record was broken by John Landy who did it in 3
minutes and 57.9 Seconds.
How can they all do it immediately after Rogers’s feet? Why
it took so long for before Roger to overcome the 4 minute barrier? The answer
is “everything happens twice, once in your mind and then in reality”.
Once you break all your mental barriers, you can emerge as
the winner who can do the impossible. You can read Impossible as I’M Possible!
Happy winning! Cheers!
