The definition of work is definitely important. What if your work, for example, is creating art. Would "retiring" mean no longer creating art, and just sitting at home all day doing nothing? Watching TV, eating and sleeping? The issue is that a large portion of jobs are repetitive and uninteresting work that people only do as a way to get money. But for others, work can be something that gives them purpose and they enjoy. If anything, I would wager the reason he's lived so long is partly due to staying active with his work.
