The world's oldest man recently died at the age of 114. His name was Walter Breuning. In interviews, Walter said his earliest memories were from 111 years ago. He remembered at the age of 3, hearing his grandfather tell stories of his experiences in the Civil War. When asked his advice on how to live a long and good life he said, "Embrace change; eat two meals a day; work as long as you can; help others; and don't fear death because you're born to die."
