The power of faith

fleeting time

Before 1954, running 1 mile in 4 minutes was considered impossible. Doctors and biologists experimented and used the results to prove that humans could not finish a mile in 4 minutes. The athletes also verified the views of scientists and doctors and proved that they were doing the right thing - 4 miles in 1 mile. Zero 3 seconds, 4 minutes and 2 seconds, but no one can finish in 4 minutes. Scientists, doctors, and top athletes in the world have proven this conclusion since the beginning of the 1 mile run.

Until the appearance of Roger Bannister.

Roger Bannister said: "It is entirely possible to finish 1 mile in 4 minutes. There is no human limit at all. I can do it for you." When he said this, he was a medical doctor at Oxford University. He is also very good at long-distance running. He is a top athlete, but he still has a distance from 1 mile in 4 minutes. His best score is 4 minutes and 12 seconds, so naturally no one takes his words seriously.

But Roger Bannister insisted on hard training, and progressed, he broke through 4 minutes and 10 seconds, 4 minutes and 5 seconds, then 4 minutes and 2 seconds, then there is no breakthrough, like everyone else, can not It is less than 4 minutes and 2 seconds.

But he still said that there is no human limit at all, we can run 1 mile in 4 minutes. He insisted on his own point of view and insisted on training, but he has not succeeded.

Until May 6, 1954, at his alma mater, Oxford University, Roger Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes and 59 seconds, and it suddenly became a sensation. He boarded the headlines of the world news, " Science is challenged ""Doctors are challenged" "It will be impossible to become possible"... He ran 1 mile and became a dream of 1 mile.

Six weeks later, Australian athlete John Randy ran 1 mile for 3 minutes and 57.9 seconds. In the following second year, at 1955, three or seven athletes ran 1 mile in 4 minutes. In 1956, Another 300 athletes broke through for 4 minutes.

How is this going? Is it because the athletes are working harder? of course not. Is it because of new technology, high-tech running shoes? neither.

It is faith, how powerful the power of faith. It’s not because of that time, the athletes say, bad, beyond the limit, slow down a bit, but their subconscious limits their ability to stop them from breaking that limit. That's not a physical barrier set by a doctor. It's not the physical limit that scientists and biologists claim. It's a mental disorder. What Roger Bannister did was to break the barrier, psychological and mental barriers.

Heart inspiration:

Faith is self-fulfilling prophecy. It often determines our behavior and determines how good or bad our performance can be. It is the number one prophet of our life's success and happiness.
