non-analytic functions with arbitrary large derivatives

This may be a trivial question but I can't see it immediately.

Suppose $\{a_k\}$ is an increasing sequence of positive reals. Does there exist a smooth function $f \in C^{\infty}([0,1])$ such that $\inf \partial^k f \ge a_k$ holds for all $k$?
