The Thought
Process
If Something You
Thought To Be True, Wasn't True...
It is difficult
to get the right solution when you start out
with the wrong premise. If we center ourselves
in a false belief system, we become what we
believe. An example of that false belief system
existed until 1954, just about 600 months ago.
It was common belief that no human could run a
mile in less than four minutes and live to tell
about it. Medically, it was believed at that
time that to attempt to run a mile in less than
four minutes would bring about certain disaster
to the human body. No one in the history of
mankind was ever timed running a sub-four minute
mile. . . no one, that is, until Roger Banister.
On a sunny Saturday morning, the young
Englishman defeated a belief system and certain
death by running one mile in 3:59:40. Now
recently, record performances in the mile have
been run in 3:47:48, and 6 to 10 times daily
someone runs a sub-four minute mile. |
