找個理由活到100歲

我經常認為：人在心靈上是可以很高貴的， 然，在軀體上是必須很卑賤的。簡單地說，人是要勞作的， 是要下地兒幹活兒的。

高貴的心靈可上天，卑賤的軀體需入地。

為自個找個不死的理由，活到100歲。

【原新聞】百歲美國老婦1周工作6天每天11小時 7旬兒子難退休(圖)

紐約州Buffalo市一名100歲老婦不能也不願意停止工作。

FeliminaRotundo從1950年代就經營一間洗衣加幹洗店，她每周工作6天，每天工作11小時。

“你認為這很好嗎？我已經74歲了，我現在還不能退休，因為我媽媽還在工作！”Felimina的兒子GaryRotundo打趣地說道。“但老實說，她真的很了不起。她比我還強健，毫無疑問。”

Felimina周一到周六每天都從早上7點上班到晚上6點。大蕭條時期，她從15歲就開始在一家鞋店工作。

“她一直很喜歡工作，特別是喜歡和新來的顧客聊天，”Gary

說。“她把自己長壽的秘訣歸因於勤奮工作的天性。她說這給她一個目標，一個理由每天早上起來，並為生計奔忙。”

Gary補充說，他的母親認為隻有到“有什麽事強迫你退休，例如病痛”的時候，你才應該退休。

USTODAY:

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Felimina Rotundo works six days a week washing clothes at a local laundromat and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, even at the age of 100.

Rotundo washes clothes and handles dry cleaning at the College Laundry Shoppe in Buffalo.

She works from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. She says that she likes being out and working because it “gives her something to do.”

Rotundo said that she hasn’t considered retirement. She says she doesn't think that "old people" should be sitting idle, and doing nothing, because that is a waste of time.

So when would be an acceptable age to retire? According to her, 75 would be a good age but only if health is an issue.

Rotundo was born in 1915, and this past August she reached the century mark. She says she has been working for 85 years of her life. She has worked in the area for nearly 40 years. When she first started she only made about 25 cents for washes.
