How to live for 114 years

Walter Breuning (AP)

According to Walter Breuning, a resilient man who did:

  1. Embrace change, even when change slaps you in the face. (“Every change is good.”)
  2. Eat two meals a day (“That’s all you need.”)
  3. Work as long as you can (“That money’s going to come in handy.”)
  4. Help others (“The more you do for others, the better shape you’re in.”)
  5. Accept death (“We’re going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you’re born to die.”)
  6. Keep your mind and body busy (“You keep both busy, and by God you’ll be here a long time.”)

What an inspired life. (Thanks, Tim)
