Suppose $a_n\to\ell$. With tolerance $1$, choose $N$ such that $|a_n-\ell|<1$ whenever $n\geq N$. The <triangle inequality> gives $|a_n|\leq|a_n-\ell|+|\ell|<1+|\ell|$ for these terms. Set
$$
\boxed{B=1+|\ell|+\sum_{j=1}^{N-1}|a_j|.}
$$
An empty sum is zero. This finite $B$ satisfies $|a_n|\leq B$ for every $n$, so every <convergent sequence> is a <bounded sequence>.
