WEBVTT 00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:04.238 Before April 1954, 00:00:05.008 --> 00:00:08.254 the common belief, the universal belief 00:00:08.254 --> 00:00:12.459 because it had been tried again & again & again, and people had failed 00:00:12.459 --> 00:00:16.290 the belief was that man was not physically capable 00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:20.119 of breaking the 4 minute barrier, that he could not 00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:23.906 run a mile in less than 4 minutes. 00:00:25.414 --> 00:00:30.080 When something happens to them, they begin to believe that that's the way it is. 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:32.092 That's the way it's always been. 00:00:32.092 --> 00:00:35.772 And they can't see the possibility of it being any different. 00:00:35.772 --> 00:00:38.259 (250 yards to go and Bannister takes over) 00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:40.507 (watch his giant stride take him to the front) 00:00:40.507 --> 00:00:42.981 (as he races the last lung-bursting... ) 00:00:42.981 --> 00:00:45.511 Roger Bannister came along 00:00:45.511 --> 00:00:48.861 and he broke the 4-minute barrier! 00:00:49.507 --> 00:00:51.681 Since that time, up to this day 00:00:52.374 --> 00:00:55.523 Over 20,000 people have done it... 00:00:55.523 --> 00:00:58.259 including high-school kids! 00:00:58.489 --> 00:01:00.377 Twenty thousand people! What changed? 00:01:00.470 --> 00:01:02.929 Here's what happened when they got on the track: 00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:04.611 They knew it had been done! 00:01:04.611 --> 00:01:06.417 And because they knew it had been done, 00:01:06.417 --> 00:01:08.958 there was a new belief! 00:01:10.666 --> 00:01:14.150 ...about this barrier that was "unreachable". 00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:18.541 And those twenty thousand people got in a race believing 00:01:18.618 --> 00:01:20.804 knowing in their heart that someone had done it 00:01:20.834 --> 00:01:22.547 that it's possible 00:01:22.562 --> 00:01:23.835 that they could do it 00:01:23.835 --> 00:01:26.446 if someone can make that dream become a reality, 00:01:26.461 --> 00:01:28.592 then you can make YOUR dream become reality 00:01:57.457 --> 00:02:00.016 Eyesight and mindsight... 00:02:00.016 --> 00:02:03.750 Eyesight is judging on what you see... 00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:06.227 ...judging according to appearances... 00:02:06.412 --> 00:02:10.925 but mindsight is how you interpret what you see. 00:02:10.925 --> 00:02:17.797 One guy said, "its not possible, it's over, I'm finished! I can't do it. I can't make it." 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:19.915 He surrendered! 00:02:19.915 --> 00:02:25.330 "I've faced rejection again and again, I'm not going anymore! There are no jobs out there!" 00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:30.532 But this other guy, he felt that in spite of the "no's" and rejections... 00:02:30.532 --> 00:02:35.728 ...in spite of how bad the economy is, in spite of what the newspapers are saying... 00:02:36.421 --> 00:02:41.871 that it's possible. That "somebody somewhere, will give me a job." 00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:45.865 He just kept going! Thinking it was possible. 00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:50.134 And guess what ladies and gentlemen? That's what we have to do with our dreams. 00:02:50.134 --> 00:02:55.101 Because things happen to ya in life, that you can never ever anticipate. 00:02:55.193 --> 00:03:01.668 And many times when those things happen, you wanna give up! 00:03:01.668 --> 00:03:04.927 Easy is not an option. 00:03:06.174 --> 00:03:09.071 It's hard living! Life is hard... 00:03:09.533 --> 00:03:16.296 See it's hard when, when you are forty-nine years old, been working on a job for seventeen years... 00:03:16.296 --> 00:03:21.589 ...and they come in and tell you "you're finished" and give you one week's severance pay. 00:03:22.005 --> 00:03:24.312 And you gotta start all over again. 00:03:25.466 --> 00:03:30.901 It's hard handling just the tragedies of life. It's hard. 00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:36.289 When you're working on something, and, and you put everything you have in it... 00:03:36.289 --> 00:03:41.501 ...and it doesn't work out -- you lose your money and other people's money. 00:03:43.825 --> 00:03:47.668 Know what I discovered? When you're working at your dream, somebody said: 00:03:47.668 --> 00:03:51.304 "the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory!" 00:03:51.304 --> 00:03:52.733 It's good to ya -- why?
