Best is yet to come...




Sergey Bubka debated to be one of the best atheletes in the world in the sport of Pole Vault.
Bubka was and is the world record holder unbeaten in his sport till today . Its almost been 30 years ,
and is still unbeaten. He made the first world record in 1983 , then the only record he broke was his , the only
competition he had was himself. Each time he broke his own record , 5.70 , 5.85 . 5.95 , 6.00 , 6.01


1983 World Championships in Athletics-Helsinki - 1st - 5.70
1987 World Championships in Athletics-Rome - 1st - 5.85
1991 World Championships in Athletics-Tokyo - 1st - 5.95
1993 World Championships in Athletics-Stuttgart - 1st - 6.00
1997 World Championships in Athletics-Athens - 1st - 6.01

Bubka had no challengers , so he kept pushing himself...and breaking his own record.
He is a living proof that gives people inspiration to push themselves to the next level.
I believe if each of us push ourselves like bubka..setting a benchmark for ourselves ,
and pushing it to the next level , followed by the next level and go on increasing the bar ,
I cant imagine where we will be.

I guess the best in each of us is yet to come , and we havent seen it as yet.
So lets keep trying for the next...because..."our best is yet to come...."
