What’s the secret to making it into triple figures? Never stay stuck in the past, keep a diary … and dance while you still can
I see other older people not doing much and not caring much about anything, whereas I love seeing new things. I have met people like me of my age who are interested in things and who are working, who are writing, who are painting, and they have a much happier life. Keep on doing things!Get yourself great parents and a large family. Eat well. Practise one sport at least five days a week. Marry a wise woman. Work hard at something motivating. Don’t smoke or use drugs.
I focus on fun. We only have one life, so enjoyment is vital if we are to get things done. There isn’t anything surprising or any secrets, all the things I have done are within the law. There are no secret pains, which is nice, no secret lover – I don’t even want one for that matter.Don’t let your parents, or anyone else, get in your way if you have different goals in life than those they or others think you should have. And if you have chosen your goal, pursue it with passion.
I’ve got 25lb-worth of swimming medals. I bought a little basket and when I put all my medals in, it’s so heavy – 25lb is heavier than you think! Being active – and of course that includes swimming – that’s the least you can do to feel like you’re living.I believe long life is a matter of genes more than anything. One brother lived to 107, my father lived to ninetysomething and other brothers lived to 99. We had good Litvak [Lithuanian Jewish] stock. I was married to my wife for 60-plus years.
In the air raids in the East End of London, we used to say: “To hell with Hitler, he’s not going to alter what we want to do.” So we lived our lives the way we wanted to and took things as they came. Just always try to do the best you can – that’s all there is to it.Constantly being proud and celebrating the lives of my family and loved ones has helped me live a long, healthy and happy life. My secret to a long life is to eat and drink well – it helps me feel grounded.
