Eugene O’Kelly was the chief executive officer (CEO) of KPMG—one of the largest accounting firms in the world.
On May 24, 2005, Eugene visited his doctor with a full calendar and a lifetime of plans on his mind. Before this meeting,
he was in the prime of his life. However, during the meeting, his doctor told him that he was diagnosed as having brain
cancer. All of a sudden, his lifetime of plans dwindled to 100 days, leaving him just enough time to say goodbye. All the
plans he had made as CEO were shattered. However, instead of falling into despair and confining himself in denial,
Eugene decided to take a more constructive approach to face his “fate,” not spending an ounce of energy lamenting 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—as if he had never seen it before. He searched for ways to live a more vivid and
meaningful life and to savor or enjoy what was within his reach without aspiring for the impossible. He even completed
an inspirational memoir (Chasing Daylight) in three-and-a-half months, reminding people to embrace the fragile, fleeting
moments of our lives. Throughout the memoir, Eugene attempts to send a message to the readers:
The past is your guide.
The present is a gift, so live it to the fullest.
The future is for dreamers. Dream. Dream all you can—without reservation. 【題組】49 What does the underlined word “dwindled” in the passage mean?
(A) Reduced (B) Doubled (C) Defined (D) Kindled
