World’s oldest living person, who is 115 years old, shares the one rule that’s helped her live so long

In a world full of chaos, stress, and constant noise, one woman has quietly walked her path — without arguing, without fuss — and lived to become the world’s oldest person! Meet Ethel Caterham, a 115-year-old British woman who now holds the title of the world’s oldest living person, according to the Gerontology Research Group.
Born before World War I even began, Ethel’s life dates back to August 21, 1909. But while much around her has changed — wars, technology, and the way people live — her simple mantra has stayed the same: “Never argue with anyone. I listen and I do what I like.” This one rule, she says, is her secret to long life.
Here’s all we need to know about her life, and why her peaceful philosophy is something that still matters today.
