How to Reach New Heights: Tips from the World's Tallest Person
Written on
Chapter 1: My Journey to the Top
From being the shortest child in kindergarten to becoming the tallest person globally at the age of twenty-six, my journey has been remarkable. You might recognize my name from the Guinness World Records as Audrey Clark, the tallest individual on the planet. But let’s not get into the specifics of my height just yet.
Being the tallest person brings with it a variety of advantages. For instance, I’m often the first to notice when it starts to rain—unless, of course, I’m with a meteorologist. Additionally, if a bird happens to relieve itself on my hat, it’s unlikely anyone else will notice. These amusing perks are part of the tall community, and we often share them through little notes written in the dust atop high places.
One of my favorite activities as the tallest individual is attending basketball games. I like to position myself near the entrance where players come in, silently giving them a judgmental glance as they pass. I hope they think, “Wow, she’s taller than me, and she’s not even playing! What does that say about my identity as a professional athlete?” Surprisingly, every game I’ve watched has ended in a scoreless tie, with players often overwhelmed with emotion.
However, being the tallest isn’t all fun and games. Watching basketball can be quite dull, and finding the right length for capris is a constant struggle. I frequently find myself ducking under ceiling fans, which can be quite a pain. The attention can also be overwhelming; I can’t step outside without someone requesting my autograph or asking to be stepped on. At this point, I’m almost ready to pass on my title to someone else.
So, if you aspire to take my place as the tallest person in the world, here’s my guide:
Grow Daily
Your primary goal should be to grow. Each morning, strive to be a bit taller than you were the day before. It’s simple logic: if you continue to grow, you’ll eventually reach impressive heights. Surprisingly, many aspiring tall individuals overlook this crucial step.
Avoid Shrinking
This may seem like common sense, but it’s vital to avoid any actions that could lead to shrinking. Even a single moment of reduction can negate a year’s worth of growth. Steer clear of eccentric scientists and peculiar gadgets that might pose a risk.
Tower Over Everyone
It’s not enough to be tall; you must be taller than everyone you encounter. You can meet other tall people, but ensure you outmeasure them. Take Shaquille O’Neal, for instance, who stands at 2.16 meters. If you want to be the tallest, aim for at least 2.17 meters.
Believe in Your Worth
Society often encourages us to keep our aspirations in check. However, you deserve recognition and respect, and you absolutely deserve to be the tallest person in the world! This journey is not just for you but for everyone who looks up to you.
Consume Giraffe Hearts
A rather whimsical tip: consuming giraffe hearts reportedly adds six inches to your height. It’s something to consider!
