Show every bounded infinite set has a maximum limit point and a minimum limit point.

Here is my thought even if it is not formal

Let $S$ be bounded and infinite set.

Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem: Every bounded and infinite set has a limit point.
Since it is bounded by completeness property(Can I apply?) the set has least upper bound(Sup(S)) and greatest lower bound(Inf(S)).
Now my claim is that maximum limit point$=Sup(S)$ and minimum limit point$=Inf(S.)$
I need someone to tell me how to proceed.

Can you use the fact that the set of limit points is closed? If so, you can say that there are sequences in it that converge to its sup and its inf. Since its closed, both inf and sup are in it.
