Good day to you all here in the Hive Ghana community.
We live in a generation where everyone wants to make it in life, though the fact about life is that not everyone will get to make out that big. We also aim for fame and becoming a popular person in the world, yet not everyone will achieve that. Though we keep working hard everyday. But the fact remains that some people will come to the world and everyone will get to know about their existence, whereby some would come to the world and no one will get to know they even existed.
Talking about the recent trends in the world today. There have been a lot of people giving their best to become a better version of themselves. This indeed brought about a lot of improvements to people and also serves as a way to put in more effort in getting better.
The Guiness World Record
I really love the concept and idea behind this, and this is because I love the energy people have to put in to get awarded. Example is that of the fastest 100m sprint runner. There are a lot of athletes out there. But how many of them are ready to be challenged and challenge others? Coming out of that zone is what really brought about their fame and they deserved it.
The likes of Usain Bolt who became the top athlete in the 100m category and held the record for years before his record was taken from him by another athlete gives a good example of what it takes to put in more effort. For example if Bolt could complete the race within a short duration of 11.6 minutes, the next person to beat his record would have to race that same distance with a lesser time. That's what it takes to beat a record holder.
Another aspect about holding records is you being the first timer to do things. For example the first person to cook over a long duration nonstop could hold a record of cooking over a long duration. Anyone could step up to beat the record at any time afterwards. This made me remember one of the recent world records held by my country. She held the cook-a-thon record. It was really an amazing one. The strength and the determination she had was top notch. I can't forget those scenes about her and how well the citizens cheered her up for her wins. That was truly awesome. Nobody became somebody everyone wants to see. That's the power of holding records.
One thing I don't like about the guiness world record are some aspects that might be a little off from what the world wants. There are great records to be helld and for different reasons too. But some records and records holders are to be scrapped and this is because they add little or no importance to the society and the word at large.
This is my response to the Hive Ghana 🇬🇭 weekly engagement of the week. And the topic to be discussed is GUINESS WORLD RECORD.
