let´s write epsilon = &
so for n>N which depends on &
a-&< a_n < a+& .
As we can choose & arbitrarily we can take so a-&>0 and so find N
so a_n from This N is >0

Let {a_n} be our sequence, and a be the point to which the sequence converges. Now choose ε = a/4.

From the definition of convergence, we know there exists an integer N such that for all n>=N,
|a_n - a|<ε

i.e.,
a_n is within a/4 of a; and since a is positive, all such a_n are >0.
