114, Not Too Shabby

Walter Breuning, the worlds oldest man, died Thursday at the ripe old age of 114. Not only was he (aside from my own Grampa) the cutest old man ever, he left us with a simple yet wonderfully refreshing philosophy to live by. Rest in peace, Walter!

  • Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. ("Every change is good.")
  • Eat two meals a day ("That's all you need.")
  • Work as long as you can ("That money's going to come in handy.")
  • Help others ("The more you do for others, the better shape you're in.")
  • Accept death. ("We're going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you're born to die.")

'Hey, I guess they're right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose.'
-Lloyd Christmas, Dumb and Dumber
