The recent development about the Guinness world records: The records and the motivation of record holders.
Good afternoon my fellow hivers. Happy Sunday to you all. Hope you went to church ☺️.
Its my pleasure writing on this platform, I'm so excited about this topic. I've always wished to write about this topic on this platform. I'm so happy I'm finally doing this. Special thanks to 
I'll start first by letting us know what the guinness world record is all about. The Guinness World Records is a compilation of world records that covers a wide variety of topics. The records are set by individuals, groups, and organizations from all over the world.
The purpose of the book and keeping this record is to celebrate human achievement, and to inspire other people to pursue their dreams and push their limits to what they think they can do. It's also a fun way to learn about the world, its inhabitants and all the wonderful things that could be done in it and also found in it.
To be frank and honest, I didn't really know much about the Guinness world records, until lately. I just heard people broke records about things but I didn't know it will be this interesting to learn things about the world records book.
I've learnt that there are a lot of categories in the book. One of the most well-known categories in the book is extreme bodies.This very category includes records for the world's tallest and shortest people, as well as people with extreme body proportions.
This category also includes records for people with unusual physical abilities, such as the world's fastest runner on stilts, and the world's longest tongue.Another popular category in the book is that of the food and drink.This category includes records for the largest food items, the most expensive dishes, and the strangest food combinations. It also includes records for the most bizarre eating challenges, such as the world's fastest pie eater, and the world's most competitive hot dog eating contest.
Like I said before I didn't really know much about the Guinness world records till when my Akwa ibom sister, Hilda Baci started to attempt a record call cook-a-thon which she broke at exactly 7:45 on the 15th may 2023. She broke the record for the longest cooking marathon that could be done by any individual. She cooked for 87 hours 50 minutes surpassing the previous holder of the record in 2019.
And she also went ahead to set her own record of 100 hours.
Sorry to say this but the truth is she has really inspired people around the world to see themselves ina way that they can do anything as long as they determine to. Since the cook-a-thon, we've had a lot of record breakers. You might hold the title but before you close your eyes to open them, it's taken away😂.
To what I think about this recent development. I think that the Guinness World Records has been very fascinating to watch. The book has been expanding its categories to include more of modern records. It's becoming more inclusive.
More people have been recognized for their accomplishments, and it can also help to break down discrimination and misconceptions. But somehow I also think that the book is becoming too focused on popular culture, and that it's losing some of its historical and cultural significance.
What do you think about the Guinness world records??
