When the Clock Starts Counting Down
What would you do if you discovered you had just 100 days left to live? Not in some distant, abstract future, but right now-with the summer still ahead, projects half-finished, and conversations you've been meaning to have. This was the reality that crashed into Eugene O'Kelly's life in May 2005. At 53, he was CEO of KPMG, one of the world's largest accounting firms. He had power, influence, and what seemed like endless tomorrows. Then a brain scan revealed the truth: inoperable tumors, no cure, three months at most. Most of us live as though death is a problem for our future selves to solve. We postpone difficult conversations, delay meaningful experiences, and assume there will always be time later. O'Kelly's diagnosis shattered that comfortable illusion. But here's what makes his story remarkable: instead of collapsing into despair, he approached his final chapter with the same analytical rigor he'd brought to boardrooms-only now, the project wasn't quarterly earnings but something infinitely more valuable. He set out to create what he called "perfect days," to say proper goodbyes, and to discover what it truly means to be alive when every moment counts.
