This 100-Year Old Man Has Worked for the Same Company for 84 Years

Walter Orthmann of Brusque, Brazil doesn't have to work at the age of 100, but he wants to. It gives him a sense of purpose. And he's carried that sense for the last 84 years at RenauView, a textile manufacturer. He's done so since he was 15 years old, when he started on the factory floor. Now he's a sales manager.

Reuters reports on Orthmann's secrets to longevity. Aside from a passion for productivity, Orthmann has paid close attention to his health for 60 years. He exercises daily and avoids junk foods. His methods have clearly worked well and have secured for him a Guinness World Record for the longest employment at one company.
