Having or showing the capacity to develop

Having or showing the capacity to develop

On 6 May 1954, Roger Bannister became known as the first man to run the ‘unachievable’ four-minute mile. His achievement of running four miles in 3:59.4, is often quoted as one of the inspiring moments in sport.

The race in Oxford has also become a symbol of human potential and achievement, despite his record being beaten just 46 days later. 

At the start of another busy week, it may be worth taking a little time to think about our own achievements and future potential - and understand how we can recognise them in other people too. 

“However ordinary each of us may seem, we are all in some way special and can do things that are extraordinary, perhaps until then…even thought impossible.” 

Roger Bannister 1929 – 2018
