David Brooks2 : Should you live for your résumé ... or your eulogy?

David Brooks2 : Should you live for your résumé ... or your eulogy? (script)
Summary
People work hard every day to achieve their goal. They have ambitions and they are constructive and creative. They can create companies and they have the power to innovate. They are built by building on their strengths. Their motto is "success".
However, is it better to pursue them only and to live their life like a game?
For us, there are two sides of our nature. Even if you are humble or you live in an introverted monner, they are very important. You'll have the depth of conviction and an emotional sonorousness. Your internal side of nature can be an inverse logic. You can give to receive, or you can surrender to something outside yourself to gain strength within yourself. You can conquer the desire to get what you want, or you can forget yourself to fulfill yourself and you can lose yourself to find yourself.
You are built by fighting your weaknesses and sin.
A depth of character is constructed by suffering. Recognizing the sin in yourselves and giving forgiveness are not written on your resume but you are not taught about them.
We have to think about them before they become part of our eulogy.
