Let {xn}n = 1[itex]\infty[/itex] be a bounded sequence

and

{xnj} be a convergent subsequence, each one converging to L.

Want to show that {xn[}[/itex]n = 1[itex]\infty[/itex] converges to L.

My proof is as follows.

Suppose that {xn}n = 1[itex]\infty[/itex] does not converge to L; this implies that there is a subsequence |{xnj}-L|[itex]\geq[/itex][itex]\epsilon[/itex]. However by B-W there exists a subsequence of that subsequence that converges, and it must converge to L. However this is a contradiction.

Is this sufficient?
