Resume virtues and eulogy virtues

When I retired from my corporate job, I received this same insight as a parting gift -a sneak peek at potential eulogy content - and - surprise - it had nothing to do with my glorious resume.  Nothing about whether my team hit its numbers, released the project on time, or met a satisfaction metric.  It was all about personal connections and the "stumbling" moments we shared.  David Brooks beautiful essay reflects the careful contemplation on this wisdom in his own life and career.  It is a keeper . . .
