Emily was a young girl who was interested in athlete from her young age. At break time in school, she does challenge her classmates for a race which they obliged. The outcome of the match usually comes out as she (Emily) lead the race always. She wasn’t satisfied at this result because her aim was to become the fastest athlete who have ever lived. She trained herself in breaking time limit. This commitment continued over the years.

Her passion led to register in an athlete school where she had the opportunity to race with other athletes like her. A golden opportunity slipped in for her as the national athlete competition was announced. Emily learnt that the fastest athlete for the 100m race ran for 11 seconds. She set her new goal to surpassed that record. To achieve that milestone, she had to work harder than ever.

She intensified her training from days only to days and night. She worked till her coach advised her to get some rest. But she couldn’t heed to that advice due to the milestone she have to achieve. On the D-day, she was refreshed and ready to give her best on that race. After the race, the result shows that Emily came first on that 100m race. An additional announcement was made that Emily completed the race within 6.77 seconds thereby making her the fastest athlete.

She was called to the stage and honored thereby collecting double award of the winner of the race and the fastest athlete. In Emily’s heart touching speech, she said that the milestone was nearly impossible for her but she had to apply other factors. The factors according to her was consistency, persistency and focus. After her speech, everyone was on a standing ovation to applaud the new legend of sprinting. The adventure continues….

Before Emily achieve the title of the fastest athlete, she had to implement these qualities in her life:

• Consistency: This is the prime factor she implemented before reaching that nearly impossible milestone. Since from childhood, she developed this attitude of becoming the best. This attitude was called consistency. Her sprinting everyday lead to her achievement of that milestone.
• Persistency: those quality helped Emily as an athlete. Athlete as a life passion is very stressing and energy taking. Despite these odds, she managed to be on the run daily. The persistence she showed since her childhood till when she had this milestone achieve was just amazing.

• Focus: The focus displayed by Emily since from childhood is something worth emulating. This is something I really need to implement personally. In my life, there are many things that has distracted me a lot. That’s why I need this focus so that I can focus on the important things and filter the less important ones.

Milestone is a great achievement which people wish to accomplish or break the record. The sole importance of accomplishing milestone is for the record and self-morale. Anyone who break a milestone is worth mentioning in the Guinness world book of records.

Achieving a milestone isn’t an easy feat but it’s achievable. There are some reasons why an individual can’t achieve a milestone. Below are some of it

• Lack of self-belief: Most people don’t believe that there can achieve any worthy feat. This has hindered many percentages of the population from taking a step.
• Cowardice: Some people don’t have the boldness to take a step. This has hindered their confidence on achieving their feat.
