When There is a Will , There is a Way
The Olympic competition is called the place of the greatest talent in the world's sports history. In 1896, starting in Athens city, Greece and held in different corners of the world every four years, the best athletes of the country and abroad breaks the oldest record. A new record is set one after another. Many famous athletes also shine bright in the Olympics. From the beginning of the Olympics, one of the most popular competitions is the middle distance race. In 1896 , The Summer Olympic , Athens held a mile (1500m) distance race. The mid distance competition had a special feature that everyone was attentively observed at the time was that no athlete was able to complete the one mile distance set for the competition in less than four minutes and span six decades. That is, from 1896 to 1954, this series was intact. So a strong idea in people's mind took to bury the skull that it is impossible to cross a mile in less than four minutes. The demand of scientists and doctors deepened the idea of their mind. The doctors demand It was not possible to run a mile distance in less than four minutes. They argued that the extra physical effort the human body requires to cross this particular distance, the size of human lungs is not big enough to bear the burden of hard work. Speed if someone tries to run too much to cross this distance in less than four minutes, then he is more likely to die by heart attack.There had a permanent idea in everyone's mind that this work is beyond human capability.
Time has flown by and this 'four minute' concept remained intact in world sports history, including the Olympics. It was in 1954 , a medical student studying at Oxford University, England named Roser Bannister came forward to challenge the concept of this 'four minute'. He said, "This is what Nothing is impossible. I'll make it possible. In less than four minutes, I'll show it by crossing a mile distance. "People laughed at his words. Many have teased Bannister's statement as a mad deluge. But Bannister was stable in his opinion. Ignoring the jokes of neighbors and friends, he kept his faith on himself and one day he really did managed to cross this in a race held by the Oxford University authority in less than four minutes, which means 3 minutes 59.4 seconds . After this success and record of Bannister, people's mentality changed. They thought -- 'When Bannister can, why can't we? With the belief of making the impossible possible, around 27 athletes in the same year and 235 in the next year were able to cross a mile in less than 4 minutes.
Question is, how is it possible for Bannister to do something that was considered impossible throughout the world, even in science's view? Did Bannister have any miracle power? Or was Bannister's lung shape comparatively big as doctors claimed? Dear reader,. . None of the above reasons are correct as we predicted. In fact, the main reason for this magical success of Bannister was his belief in his mind. He had a deep belief in his strength and capability that changed his mindset and this mindset is what possible for him It happened to be a mischief. The important thing is that after the success of Bannister, others were about to change their mindset and they also started believing -- yes it can be done. We are also capable of crossing a mile distance in less than four minutes. All we need is effort and determination. The confidence to build their mind with their strength and ability is why at one time they could do the impossible possible and break the records of being intact for almost six decades in history. In other words, their strong mindset has motivated them to this extraordinary achievement and this encouragement has brought them success.
Former President of the United States Eleanor De Roosevelt spoke an important thing about the people’s mental relationship with success and failure. He said, “You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” The underlying meaning of Roosevelt’s statement we can also think that there is nothing impossible for humans. The idea of impossible is just a state of human mind. The people generally form the idea that society has not been previously conducted or are unable to do some things due to any circumstances. Even if you do it, it is not true in reality. In fact, the concept of impossible is a relative idea. Because we have seen that the works which were considered impossible in the past due to various circumstances, along with the rapid development and expansion of science and technology, the development of human intelligence makes them easier. Raising for today's people. Until Edmund Hillary climbed the Everest, everyone thought these high mountain peaks were rare, although after Hillary's successful Everest climb, it took to change the mentality of the mountaineers which resulted in many successful adventures to date in Himalayas. So the Arctic expedition of Roald Amundsen and David Scott Until when people believe Arctic mystery is impeccable. But today after this, a team of adventurers have been able to dissolve the mystery of Arctic . If asked, what is the primary condition for all this possibility ? It can be said without any hesitation in the answer, this is only possible for the change in the mentality of people.
One of the most important things we see in our daily life is that our mindset affects our successes or failures. Our mindset affects our attitude. This effect can be favorable or against. Attitude is the mentality we take for ourselves whether it is positive or negative, he influences our way of managing lives. That's why it's important to understand where our attitude towards anything or action comes from and what we can or can't do, so we can adjust it to solving our personal or social life problems. We all have a nature The feature is that we are not in any way back to doing the things we have traditionally seen our elders doing, or things that have come to everyone's mind as affordable. But to accomplish the things our ancestors could never do or tried to do, we don't get interested and stay away from the trials. Before we try to do them, we normally get an idea in mind, 'this is impossible at all. So where's the point of wasting our time, labor or money going to do this! "Due to such a useless mentality, many things remain unsolved even after being within our capacity or reign. Many problems remain unsolved in personal life or social life.
There is one thing in Assamese - 'If you want , you can do what you think. Our mindset builds our belief and this belief determines our success or failure. In fact, the main strength of our body and mind is our belief, belief means confidence. Simple The belief that we can do something impossible in the eyes of the people builds the state of our mind and this mindset affects our ability and success or failure. We always think and continue to try to make it possible in the eyes of the common. Then we take a step forward in the path of action. In different fields we see that we can instead of thinking we can't, the strong mentality of thinking that we can make it easy for us that seems very difficult or impossible. So think that we are beyond our capability. We should not give up without trying.
Another thing -- People might tease us or even try to disappoint us by speaking up a task that is considered impossible or extremely complex from the past, but if we believe in ourselves deeply that -- 'Whatever happens, I will succeed' -- this thought will give us success. So the first thing in completing a task or solving a problem is a strong mindset that can lead us to a positive world of possibilities and success.
