Eugene O’Kelly was the chief executive officer (CEO)執行長 of KPMG毕马威—one of the largest accounting firms會計師事務所 in the world.

On May 24, 2005, Eugene visited his doctor with a full calendar and a lifetime of plans決定, 計劃，方案 on his mind.

Before this meeting, he was in the prime全盛時期；盛年、主要 of his life. However, during the meeting, his doctor told him that he was diagnosed診斷（病症） as having brain cancer.

All of a sudden, his lifetime of plans dwindled減小；降低；減少 to 100 days, leaving him just enough time to say goodbye.

All the plans he had made as CEO were shattered破碎. However, instead of代替 falling into陷入（某種狀況）despair絕望 and confining himself in denial否認，否定, Eugene decided to take a more constructive建設性的；有益的 approach接近、方法 to face his “fate,” not spending an ounce盎司（重量單位，1盎司約等於28克）, 一點點，少量 of energy lamenting悲傷 the time that he had lost.

Eugene made the most of every moment to discover the world around him—nature, connection with loved ones, and living in the moment活在當下—as if he had never seen it before.

He searched for ways to live a more vivid and meaningful life and to savor滋味,氣味、嘗到 or enjoy what was within his reach without aspiring积极的, 有抱负 for the impossible.

He even completed完善, 使完整；使完全 an inspirational memoir傳記 (Chasing Daylight) in three-and-a-half months, reminding people to embrace the fragile, fleeting短暫的；迅速 moments of our lives.

Throughout在各處；自始至終 the memoir, Eugene attempts to send a message to the readers: The past is your guide. The present贈品, 現在 is a gift, so live it to the fullest.

The future is for dreamers. Dream. Dream all you can—without reservation保留.
