(Unless their is no free will in Heaven)
Heaven must surely be filled exclusively with good people.
However, it seems that the amount of time that God needs to observe his creations (in order to predict their future behaviour) varies quite a bit.
Some die early, some live to be a hundred.
Of some, god says "Yep, I know what you'll be like" the moment they are concieved.
But others, god has to watch in a myriad of situations, over endless days before he is sure whether they belong in heaven or hell.
Hence,
In order to ensure a long life, you must behave in such a way that you confound god's ability to predict your future behaviour. Do something new every day, and you will be around every day to do something new.
QED
