Many people scoff at my desire to live until 107. Most of them say something 
like, “Why would anyone want to live that long?” They assume that becoming really old means your life will get really boring. But that’s not what I have in mind when I break the 100 year old barrier. I’m never going to stop living or joggling!
Here’s an article about 10 old people who never wanted to let age stop them from living life.
1. Jim Martin, 97 – still bartending in Chicago
2. Shiego Tokuda, 75 – Oldest porn star
3. Joe Paterno, 82 – Football coach
4. Sigeaki Hinohara, 97 – Oldest doctor
5. Ken Mink, 73 – Oldest college basketball player
6. John Doster, 89 – Oldest fire fighter
7. Manuel Curry, 84 – Oldest police officer (sadly, he recently died)
8. Pierre “Buster” Martin, 102 – Oldest plumber
9. Robert Mugabe, 85 – Oldest president
10. Fauja Singh, 98 – Oldest marathon runner (I’m going to break this record!)

You can add Clint Eastwood to your list. He is 79 and still directing and starring in movies.
And you can remove Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean dictator that caused the economic collapse of his country, resulting in the starvation of his citizens. Only reason why he is in power is by cheating at the polls and bullying (very generous word) any opposition and their supporters.
You may also add Norman Borlaug, the guy that saved a Billion lives. He passed away recently, but was still very active right into his 90′s.
Excellent additions Hendrik. And you make a good point about Mugabe
