People tend to look for ways to express themselves. Usually a person tries to do what no one could do before him. Jump higher, run faster or throw something further than others. This human desire is very well expressed in sports: we love to set new records and enjoy watching how others do it.
However, the number of sports disciplines is limited, and the number of diverse human talents is infinite. The way out was found. In 1953, an unusual book was released. It contained world records in various areas of human life, as well as outstanding natural values. The book was published by order of the Guinness Irish brewing company. And so it was called the Guinness Book of Records. The idea to publish such a book came to one of the company's employees, Hugh Beaver. He considered that it would be simply necessary for visitors to beer pubs, during their endless debate about everything in the world. The idea was very successful.
Since then, it has become extremely popular. People tend to get to the pages of this book, this practically guarantees fame and popularity. We can add that the book is published annually, its circulation is huge. Only the Bible, the Qur'an, and the quotation book of Mao Zedong are issued in large numbers. Some of the records that people tried to set were dangerous for their health and could lead to sad consequences. Therefore, the publishers of the Guinness Book of Records stopped registering such achievements.
