The Oldest Person in the World

Recently, she had another birthday and Ethel Caterham is now 116 years old.  She lives in Surrey, England and resides in a care home. Although she did not do any interviews on her birthday, she has in the past shared her secrets for her longevity and here they are:

1. Take an agreeable approach to most things in life.  "Never argue with anyone, I listen and do what I like."

2. "Say yes to every opportunity, because you never know what it would lead to."

3. "Have a positive mental attitude and have everything in moderation."


Ethel was a mother of two girls and she has outlived both of them. She's also a grandmother of three and a great-grandmother of five.

Having read a number of articles about how older people have lived so long, they usually say similar things like this.  It's probably a good idea to be reminded of this every once in awhile.
