A 100-year-old from the southern Brazilian city of Brusque has earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest time he has worked for the same company: Walter Ortman has turned 84 in a row!
Although his achievement is impressive, the advice he gives to those looking for a long and rewarding career is extremely simple: "Do what you love and stay away from junk food."
"You have to like the job. "I started working with the will and fighting spirit," he said in an interview this week.
"You can not do any work just to say it works. It is not effective. "You will not tolerate it," he underlined.
According to Brazilian media, Walter Ortman started working in the factory of a company now called RenauxView, which produces fabrics. Over the years he moved to an administrative position and then became a sales manager. He pays attention to his physical condition, doing daily gymnastic exercises and carefully monitors his diet.
"I avoid salt and sugar," he says. "I avoid Coca-Cola and other soft drinks. I consume only healthy foods. "These help your body stay strong forever," says Walter Ortman.
