A Frenchman living in Paris speaks a subtly and crucially different language fromthat of the man living in Marseilles; 37 sounds very much like a man living in Quebec; and they would all havegreat difficulty in apprehending what the man from Guadeloupe, or Martinique, is saying, 38 the man fromSenegal—although the “common” language of all these areas is French. But each has paid, and is paying, a different pricefor this “common” language, in which, as it turns out, they are not saying, and cannot be saying, the same things: theyeach have very different realities to articulate or control.What joins all languages and all men is the necessity to confront life, in order, not inconceivably, to outwit death: theprice for this is the acceptance and achievement of one’s temporal identity. So that, for example, though it is not taught inthe schools, the south of France still clings to its ancient and musical Provencal, which resists being described as a“dialect.” And much of the 39 in the Basque countries, and in Wales, is due to the Basque and Welshdetermination not to allow their languages to be destroyed. This determination also 40 the flames in Irelandfor among the many indignities the Irish have been forced to undergo at English hands is the English contempt for theirlanguage.

Disney first flew over central Florida in an airplane on the fateful day of November 22,1963. The Kennedy assassination would mark America forever. So would the decision Walt Disney made that day to turnan inland Florida agricultural center into an epicenter of world tourism.Disney chose Orlando first because it was at the confluence of two of the most important thoroughfares, what todayare Interstate 4 and Florida’s Turnpike. Moreover, since Walt Disney’s original theme park—Disneyland, in southernCalifornia—covered fewer than 300 acres and was soon ringed with the suburban blight that its success inevitablyattracted—motels, strip malls, and copycat amusement parks, Disney hoped to rectify in Florida his mistake of notmaking Disneyland big enough. He set out to create a new, bigger, better Magic Kingdom. Here, arriving visitors wouldnot be permitted to choose their own parking spaces; smiling Disney characters would do that for them. Besides, water inthis Magic Kingdom could not be the tannic brown common in central Florida. So Bay Lake was drained, the sludgeremoved, and clear water pumped into the resulting lagoon. Even dry land would be turned into another Disney illusion:As you traverse the theme park, you are actually walking on the roof of an immense, underground control building fromwhich the operation is run, staffed, and supplied.

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 braincancer. All of a sudden, his lifetime of plans dwindled to 100 days, leaving him just enough time to say goodbye. All theplans 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 thetime that he had lost. Eugene made the most of every moment to discover the world around him—nature, connection withloved ones, and living in the moment—as if he had never seen it before. He searched for ways to live a more vivid andmeaningful life and to savor or enjoy what was within his reach without aspiring for the impossible. He even completedan inspirational memoir (Chasing Daylight) in three-and-a-half months, reminding people to embrace the fragile, fleetingmoments 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.
