Art Linkletter, the entertainer, entrepreneur and self-professed lifelong learner says that he not only works every day, but he's got business deals in the pipeline that won't come to fruition for another five years.
Shouldn't he be in a rocking chair somewhere, or fishing - or at least slowing down a bit? After all, at 96, most would say he's earned his retirement.
Linkletter doesn't see it that way. For him, working fuels his excitement and enjoyment of life, and only adds to the driving need he has to contribute every day, he says.
Interviewed on his 96th birthday from his home in California, Linkletter says that "Honestly, I don't feel any different than I did 10 years ago."
"I feel better than ever," he says. "I feel optimistic."
