| Hilda Baci cooking |
By Dr. Stephen Akintayo.
Hilda Baci's life is on fire, and the whole world is watching her burn!
By now, I am sure we've all seen that Hilda Baci has broken the Guinness World Record of longest cooking time by an individual. She just has a few hours left to complete her target time and set a new World Record.
This cookathon that started at 4pm on Thursday 11th May will end today by 4pm.
When I look at the support, endorsement, and recognition she has gotten from home and abroad within these few days, I can only say one thing, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TO BE NOBODY!
I look at people saying, "They have a dream to be this, they have a dream to be that," but are doing something entirely different from what they have envisioned.
You will not make it in life, you will not be known if you are confined to doing ordinary things. Common sense will give you common result, extra research will give you extra results.
You have to learn to make the headline news, or you will be a nuisance to your world.

10. She cooks different meals simultaneously. She is at liberty to cook any meal she likes. There are no restrictions as to what she can cook or not cook. The World Record title is about cooking within a time frame, not about what is cooked. As long as she is cooking, she is on track.

Things that will make you achieve extraordinary results:
1. Priority: What do you want to be known for? Have you honed your skill for 5 years consistently? You cannot grow bigger or do better than what you know. To be a master at your craft, you must have practiced for 10,000 hours.
2. Preparation: Without preparation, you cannot achieve success because success is not for the fainthearted. Before Hilda took up this challenge, she had prepared herself physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and even medically. She had been preparing for 5 years. What preparations are you making to achieve your goal. The truth is, if you do what is easy today, your life will be hard tomorrow. But if you do what is hard today, your life will be easy tomorrow. Your dream life is on the other side of discomfort.
3. Team work: The best winning strategy in the game of life is to surround yourself with people who believe in you and in your vision.
4. Support: Stop looking for who will support you and start working. Nobody just supports ideas these days. They must have seen a level of commitment from your end before they can offer assistance. I remember when I started real estate, I didn't get support from anybody, not even my family members. They thought I had gone crazy for leaving a business that was already blooming to chase the clouds. Know this and know peace, the support you seek will come when you have started getting results no matter how little.
5. Recognition: When you start burning, the whole world will come watch you. Recognition will come, but you must first put in the work. You must be diligent in your business.
Akintayo said in his Facebook post that:
Result Terminates Insult! Thank you for Replying @MBuhari with your result . representing the amazing hardworking youth of Nigeria, he claim we are lazy; If your children are lazy, isolate that issue but don’t generalize things. How many Nigerian politician , have children who are breaking records? Someone once ask Me, with all you do has your president ever acknowledge you? I said no, he was shocked. Many Nigerians break records home and abroad daily! Little wonder why he hasn’t said anything about hildabaci , after all he is not contesting again.
Bye Bye Lazy President! Can’t wait for May 29th. Anyone but Buhari for Me honestly. Once again, Thank you @hildabaci for making Nigerian youth proud! #hildabaci #Hildabacicookathon!
