A possible version

Ashrita Furman was born in 1954 when the Guinness World Records was just set up. As a child, he was not good at sports at all. However, he was fascinated by the Guinness Book of World Records, hoping that his name would appear in the book one day. In 1970, he began to get in touch with Eastern religions and study from an Indian meditation teacher called Sri Chinmoy, who convinced Furman that there was no limit to people’s physical abilities. Then in 1978，with no training he took part in a 24-hour bicycle marathon held in New and got the third prize, which gave him great encouragement and inspiration. Later he got his first Guinness record with 27,000 jumping jacks in 1979. In the past 40 years, he has successfully set more than 300 Guinness records, making him really the King of Guinness.
