The Resume Virtues vs The Eulogy Virtues
There are two sets of virtues - the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues.

It is important to focus on developing eulogy virtues because they are more significant in the long run. Character is defined as the central piece of ourselves that guides our decisions.
