- If you've ever felt like you've been at the same job forever, then meet Walter Orthmann, a man in Brazil who's been working for the same company for 84 years.
- The 100-year-old, who obviously has no plans to retire, started working at a textile company in 1938 and now holds a Guinness World Record for having the "longest career at the same company."
- Orthmann explained "Back in 1938, kids were expected to work to help support the family. As the oldest son of five, my mother took me to find a job at the age of 14."
- Orthmann secured his job thanks to his proficiency in German. It helped him land a starting gig as a shipping assistant. He eventually moved up to a sales manager position.
- Orthmann, who still drives himself to work, shared his philosophy on life, saying "I don't do much planning, nor care much about tomorrow. All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up, get up, exercise and go to work; you need to get busy with the present, not the past or the future. Here and now is what counts. So, let's go to work."
