I was going to have to be better at balancing my life.It occurred to me that there were two sets of virtues, the résumé virtues and the eulogy virtues.
Serving others is what life can be about. I certainly think he's right. One was a fire captain, the other a business executive.
Her capacity for empathetic understanding expanded. I agree with David Brooks that reversing this order is what is happening in the world today, myself included. These people can be in any walk of life.
Eulogy Versus Resume Virtues, by David Brooks About once a month I run across a person who radiates an inner light. She became a Catholic, started a radical newspaper, opened settlement houses for the poor and lived among the poor, embracing shared poverty as a way to build community, to not only do good, but be good.
When I listen and relate to me and others with an open heart and open mind, I feel the deep connectedness, intimacy and oneness. She even changed her appearance so she could become a more effective instrument for the movement. The résumé virtues are the skills you bring to the marketplace. The resume virtues help build a capability to perform the actions that the eulogy virtues call upon us to take up. About a caring church built by a white couple for black teenagers. But the stumbler faces her imperfect nature with unvarnished honesty, with the opposite of squeamishness. So maybe these are more of 'alive virtues' than 'eulogy virtues'?
Resume virtues are the skills I bring to the marketplace, and eulogy virtues are the ones talked about after I die. They have identified their core sin, whether it is selfishness, the desperate need for approval, cowardice, hardheartedness or whatever. These are the virtues that lead to a life well lived—kindness, compassion, love, humility, wisdom, courage, and integrity to name a few. But they turn those moments into occasions of radical self-understanding — by keeping a journal or making art. You lack a moral vocabulary. Because the best of us have some bad in us and the worst of us have some good in us. I also feel that naming certain virtues as eulogy virtues takes away, perhaps, from their importance, because we are not present during our eulogies. The kids want to get their driver’s license, and have no cars at home or parents with no time to teach them how to drive.

They listen well. They are not really living for happiness, as it is conventionally defined. I have not achieved that generosity of spirit, or that depth of character.A few years ago I realized that I wanted to be a bit more like those people. The stumbler scuffs through life, a little off balance. The above excerpt is from his article Deciding what it is important evolves through a lifetime. The hard truth of the world is that resume virtues are the ones that are celebrated. But one day she stumbled across the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, and watched dozens of garment workers hurl themselves to their deaths rather than be burned alive. “Light and easily broken ties are what I neither desire theoretically nor could live for practically. They see life as a moral drama and feel fulfilled only when they are enmeshed in a struggle on behalf of some ideal.This is a philosophy for stumblers. They are not thinking about themselves at all.When I meet such a person it brightens my whole day. The resume virtues help build a capability to perform the actions that the eulogy virtues call upon us to take up. In the realm of the intellect, a person of character has achieved a settled philosophy about fundamental things. They remember me and will remember me by how I made them feel, how I got connected with them in my heart. Unexpectedly, there are transcendent moments of deep tranquillity. You figure as long as you are not obviously hurting anybody and people seem to like you, you must be O.K. Beautiful writing to reflect upon. The eulogy virtues are the ones that are talked about at your funeral — whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful. As she wrote, “No human creature could receive or contain so vast a flood of love and joy as I often felt after the birth of my child. She’d lose her friends, be cut off by her family. It puts you in a state of need and makes it delightful to serve what you love. Deepening this awareness can help us to be like those joyful , ever present ,radiant souls.
