[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 661671, member: 17461"] I am reading [U]The Road to Character[/U], by David Brooks. This is the first paragraph: "Recently I've been thinking about the differences between the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues. The resume virtues are the ones you list on your resume, the skills you bring to the job market and that contribute to external success. The eulogy virtues are deeper. They're the virtues that get talked about at your funeral, the ones that exist at the core of your being ~ whether you are kind, brave, honest or faithful; what kind of relationships you formed." Also in the introduction: "I wrote this book not sure I could follow the road to character, but I wanted at least to know what the road looks like and how other people have trodden it." In a way, the book is an exploration of values clarification and purpose; it seems to be addressing the same questions we are addressing here, on COM's True North thread. Cedar [/QUOTE]
