Proposition: Convergence Behavior of the Inverse of Sequence Members Tending to Zero

If $(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is a real sequence of positive (or negative) real numbers tending to zero, i.e. with $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n=0,$ then the real sequence $(1/a_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is tending to infinity, i.e. either to $+\infty$ (if $a_n > 0$ for all $n$) or to $-\infty$ (if $a_n < 0$ for all $n$).
