Challenger of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves": Unconventional Theory of Success
During the day, she is a restaurant chef, cooking delicious dishes; at night, she transforms into the "oldest professional club DJ" and swings with the audience.
This is the "two-sided" life of Japanese grandma Junko Iwamuro, who is now in her 80s.
Junko Iamuro started learning DJ knowledge at the age of 77.
In the past few years, she insisted on performing once or twice a month, and occasionally went abroad to tour.
When asked what kind of message she wanted to convey to the dream chaser, she confidently said: "Opportunities are available every day. Don't give up."
Like Junko Iwamuro, there are countless Guinness World Record challengers who are constantly trying to break through the "ceiling" of life.
British Hatchham suffers from achondroplasia and is only 136.2 cm tall.
However, he can easily drive the bus simply by adjusting the seat and steering wheel, thus setting the record for the "shortest bus driver".
With the outbreak of the new crown this year, Hatchham still sticks to his post and is proud to continue to help people reach their destinations.
Unfortunately, he died of a heart attack in October.

Morihamako, a 90-year-old Japanese elder, was elected as the "oldest YouTube game blogger" this year.
Her game channel has more than 460,000 subscribers, and many people left messages thanking them that she brought them a smile and is an excellent example for those who stop pursuing their dreams because of fear.
In her view, in addition to self-breakthrough, more importantly, the audience has found their own "hope for the future" through her.
"We do not define or recognize success in a conventional and limited way." The Guinness World Records official website stated its goal. "We hope to help people discover their potential and re-examine the world by recognizing the'best' in all fields. "
Crazy Guinness, who will you pick?
Over the past 60 years or so, people have kept on wondering and creating wonderful records one after another.
In the past year or so, what new crazy challenges has the world witnessed?
The answer is in the latest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
When you open your mouth, do you think you might set a world record?
Angus, a 16-year-old American boy, broke the world record because his mouth was fully opened to 9.52 cm.
The realistic version of "Iron Man", British entrepreneur Browning wearing a self-developed flight suit, set a world record for human flight at a speed of 136.891 kilometers per hour.
He said that his clothes are completely 3D printed, "You can move effortlessly in three-dimensional space completely freely and get rid of the constraints of gravity."

If you have pets, you might as well watch out. They may also be the future world record creators.
British man Roberts began to train his "Little Mouse" when he was 3 months old.
They had a tacit understanding and successfully "high-five" 28 times in half a minute, thus setting a world record.
An avid fan or self-achievement seeker of the world record?
In recent years, while the Guinness World Records has set off a global boom, it has also raised questions.
For example, Gardner, who was only 17 years old, had not fallen asleep for 11 consecutive days, setting the "record of the longest sleeplessness in humans."
However, due to the impact of the experiment on human health, Guinness World Records no longer accepts related applications.
The picture shows 201 Indian men forming a "motorcycle pyramid" on 10 motorcycles and traveling hundreds of meters.

In India, after 201 people formed a "motorcycle pyramid" on 10 motorcycles and more than 50,000 people participated in yoga classes at the same time, the world's second most populous country set a world record for the most people brushing their teeth at the same time.
The New York Times believes that Indians’ obsession with the Guinness Book of World Records has triggered a “fanatical record-maker subculture”.
Lahr, an Indian man in his 20s, explained, “This is a sense of accomplishment.” He can eat 9 raw eggs in 30 seconds. “I want to be the best person in the world with extraordinary ability.”
Is the house boring during the epidemic? Why not touch "The Best in the World"!
Nowadays, under the impact of the new crown epidemic, countless people's lives and work have been forced to press the "pause button."
After being at home for too long, some netizens "question from the soul", can they apply for the world record of "the longest time staying at home without going out"?

The Guinness World Records official did not give a positive answer.
However, it has launched the "Household World Record" event on multiple platforms, inviting everyone who has "long grass" at home to challenge "the world's best" together!
According to reports, the props needed for the "Household World Record" event are often limited to common items in the home, or no props are needed, in the hope that everyone will be happy to participate.
Activities include rolling paper with your feet the most times in 30 seconds, wearing 10 socks in the fastest time, etc.
At present, some netizens have successfully put 46 rolls of toilet paper on their heads.
The hoarded toilet paper finally came in handy?

In addition to these challenges, Guinness World Records also launched a variety of online challenges.
For example, who can upload the most photos or videos in an hour; or people can “get together in the cloud” through a conference call and complete a certain action at the same time to break the world record, etc.
Remember the global online charity concert "One World: Together at Home" in April?
This “cloud” concert, which attracted hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, set two world records for “the largest number of programs in a single remote concert” and “the most charitable funds raised through a remote concert”.
"The world has been turned upside down by the epidemic, but this has not stopped people from breaking records," the editor-in-chief of the "Guinness Book of World Records" Kegrundy said recently.
From the incredible science of the human body to exploring extreme sports; from the scientific research that creates miracles to the fascinating animal skills, the journey of human beings to surpass themselves has never stopped.
