找个理由活到100岁

我经常认为：人在心灵上是可以很高贵的， 然，在躯体上是必须很卑贱的。简单地说，人是要劳作的， 是要下地儿干活儿的。

高贵的心灵可上天，卑贱的躯体需入地。

为自个找个不死的理由，活到100岁。

纽约州Buffalo市一名100岁老妇不能也不愿意停止工作。

FeliminaRotundo从1950年代就经营一间洗衣加干洗店，她每周工作6天，每天工作11小时。

“你认为这很好吗？我已经74岁了，我现在还不能退休，因为我妈妈还在工作！”Felimina的儿子GaryRotundo打趣地说道。“但老实说，她真的很了不起。她比我还强健，毫无疑问。”

Felimina周一到周六每天都从早上7点上班到晚上6点。大萧条时期，她从15岁就开始在一家鞋店工作。

“她一直很喜欢工作，特别是喜欢和新来的顾客聊天，”Gary

说。“她把自己长寿的秘诀归因于勤奋工作的天性。她说这给她一个目标，一个理由每天早上起来，并为生计奔忙。”

Gary补充说，他的母亲认为只有到“有什么事强迫你退休，例如病痛”的时候，你才应该退休。

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.
