Brazilian man's 84-year career breaks world record [View all]
A 100-year-old man from the southern Brazilian city of Brusque has entered the Guinness World Record book for working the longest in the same company - 84 years.
Despite his extraordinary accomplishment, Walter Orthmann's advice for those looking for a long and fulfilling professional life are surprisingly routine - do what you love and stay away from junk food.
"You have to like to work. I started to work with that willingness and fighting spirit," he said earlier this week.
"You can't just do any job to say that you are working. That doesn't work. You're not going to be able to stand it."
