A 106-year-old woman offers some guidance on living a long life.

It was Friday, April 19, when Tina Gerlack turned 106 while she was enjoying the holiday with friends and family.

Asked about her secret to longevity, the woman said: “Work hard, take care of your job, pay your bills, and be nice.”

“I love to work. As old as I am, I still love to work, if I could get on my hands and knees,” Tina Gerlack, from Tacoma, Washington State, said.

“You’re a celebrity. People don’t have 106th birthdays. But you do, so we’re celebrating you, grandma,” said Trina Gerlack, Tina’s granddaughter at her birthday party on Friday.

Trina Gerlack refers to her grandma as a “unicorn” since she has achieved a significant milestone at the age of 106.

Tina Gerlack, according to her granddaughter, has never sat quiet for very long and has always been busy.

“She’s just always been an excellent example for me just because she always has worked so hard,” the granddaughter said.

“If you think about her age and my age she was born in 1918 and I was born in 1945,” said Serona Schey, a neighbor of 47 years. “So, she remembers the horse and buggy age.”

When asked about the meaning of life, Tina Gerlack emphasised the need of kindness.

“Be nice. Because you can’t take your money with you,” she said. “Work hard, take care of your job, pay your bills, and be nice. Be nice, be nice, that’s all it takes.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
