Breaking
records
What
do
you
know
about
the
book
called
“The
Guinness
Book
of
World
Records”?
The
idea
for
this
book
came
from
Hugh
Beaver.
One
day
in
1951,
after
watching
some
birds,
he
told
his
friends
that
he
thought
those
birds
were
probably
the
fastest
birds
in
Britain.
Several
of
his
friends
disagreed
with
him.
However,
when
they
tried
to
solve
the
problem
by
looking
it
up,
they
found
none
of
the
books
they
had
contained
the
information
that
they
were
looking
for.
As
a
result,
Hugh
Beaver
decided
to
put
out
a
book
that
would
contain
all
kinds
of
world
records.
People
have
always
been
interested
in
knowing
about
world
records.
They
want
to
know
about
the
biggest,
smallest,
fastest,
slowest,
longest,
shortest,
oldest
and
youngest.
The
book
called
“The
Gunnies
Book
of
World
Records”
became
popular
soon.
Guinness
is
one
of
the
most
successful
beer
brands
worldwide.

6.Which
one

Sri
Chinmoy’s

The
belief
that
there
is
no
limit
to
people’s

in
the
bicycle
marathon
in
1978?
He
won
the
third
place

though
he
had
done
no
training.
8.
Why
did
Ashrita
believe
he
could
accomplish
anything
after
the
bicycle
marathon?
Because
he
came
to
the
understanding
that
his
body

he
seemed
to
be

accomplish
anything.

up?

goes
deep

and
his
teacher.
10.
Do
you
think
that
the
events
that
Ashrita
participates
in
are
childish?
Why
or
why
not?
In
my
opinion,
they
are
not
childish,
because
they
require
an
enormous
amount
of
strength
and
fitness
as
well
as
determination
in
reality.
