Find out how a person, hundreds of corporate books, has, in particular, successful entrepreneurs, I have a fair opportunity to review and assess the accounts. I read biographies of Henry Ford Stewart, Richard Branson, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Martha, but have never read a book like Chasing Daylight by Eugene O'Kelly.
Eugene O'Kelly was a success, with down to earth, amazing people. He had two daughters, a woman who was his only true companion in life, and had workedhis way up to CEO of the company billions of dollars, KPMG. The majority of Americans would agree that short of a big family, a much appreciated and well paid, and a lot of friends. But after he was CEO for only two years he started, he said, his health deteriorated. One side of his face was a bit 'flabby and showed signs of paralysis. In addition, headaches that thought, the stress began to worry.
O'Kelly took time out from his program andDays taken to visit his doctors and the head and brain scans. The results were shocking, he had three tumors golf ball companies in three different parts of his brain that had been there so long that the tissue was dead, did not work. Doctors told him that his prognosis was very bad and he should only expect to live another three months. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy options, which could offer him were still could live a couple of months, but would also significantly reducequality of life.
O'Kelly within a few hours after the diagnosis that will make the most of his remaining time realized. Immediately resigned from his role as CEO of KPMG agreement, but remain to provide for a couple of weeks to ensure a smooth transition. While most people would sit down and very depressed and angry, O'Kelly wanted to stay active, and the best possible death to die. Among them, calling all the people in his life that had been closest to him, beginning with thosearound with, but not unbelievable, as his family near. These people including employees, college roommates, family and friends. He knew the chat and conversations with these people could potentially be complicated, since it is so hard to make a final goodbye, but he continued anyway. What he found was that these meetings were very pleasant and provided good fortune in his life that he never expected. He has created hundreds of what he called "perfect moments" when everything seemedCould not be better.
Over time, Eugene spent his days full of friendly matches and the time with her two daughters and his wife Corinne. His vision began to blur and fade and his motor skills had deteriorated. He had the need to relax and find inner peace, and found it one day at a park. The sound of a fountain of water and thoughts of peace allowed the water from one place to another for him, a quiet place. It 'was so peaceful that the daughter boughthim well for his house so he could relax when he wanted. The book also mentions that Eugene would rent a boat and his family all day trips just to relax and enjoy the water.
The way he treated his imminent death Eugene was really amazing. It 'scary to think about the time of your death, but Eugene was able to overcome anxiety and depression and make the most of every day. She traveled with her daughters, she took time to meditate and relax with his wife, and hesaid how much he loved his family and how his brother was a great father. He also had the idea to write a wonderful book to document his transition from the physical to the spiritual world. This book was to demonstrate that knowledge can actually be a blessing to his date of death and allow you to see how good life can be. It was not only able to speculate about his life and death, but the book gave him a final project, working with his wife Corinna.
Corinne wasrepresented as a great woman several times in this book. And 'Eugene obvious that the world thought of them and were really in love. When Eugene was writing the book, and knew he could not continue writing given to the last day of his life, Corinne, to help him write the end. They contributed several sections to close the book to document what we learn from life Eugene O'Kelly and his last days. His wife gives us tips on how to live our lives asto face each moment as it comes and live in the present. Eugene and Corinne discovered that he had a much better life when he stopped worrying about the future and what will happen in six months or a year.
The end of the book is encouraging, but also disturbing. As Corinne writes of her husband last three or four days on life, you begin to realize what a special man he was. O'Kelly was extremely weak and inactive, and was forced to read in the last days of his life. Hefought as long as possible, but eventually realized that die in the next or the next day. Family around him, including his daughter, wife and sister-in-law, when to leave, and died. Corinne points out that, although everyone was very sad to know that it is a joyful time that was in a better place and that his strong faith in God was taking him to heaven.
This book is very emotional and open your eyes to the meaning of life and death. After reading, I felt likeeveryone has the opportunity to be productive and live a better life. One simple step is to call the people you love and tell them so. One of the joys of being human is that we communicate our emotions to each other and bring a smile to the faces of each other. It does not take much to make a phone call to someone who also write or e-mail saying that someone cares about them. If the time to make a call or send an email to take advantage of to do, you will probably find moreoptimistic and perhaps even to smile more often. This book is a book everyone should read. Eugene O'Kelly was spectacular, and so we should all try, the rest of our lives as the three months of his life. This book is a definitive Rated 5 of 5.
