Write Your Own Eulogy

Gary North - March 18, 2017

I have recommended updating your résumé.

Did you do this? If not, do it. If you did, it's time to write your eulogy -- your good (eu) word (logos).

What would you like someone to be able to say honestly in seven minutes?

The speaker must say goodbye on behalf of the family. But visitors should think: "I hope my eulogy sounds as good."

Here is what you don't want said: "His brother was worse."

How well does your résumé match what you would like said in your eulogy? If there is a big discrepancy, work on both.

Don't fake either of them.

There should be more to your life than your résumé. If there isn't, start working on improving your eulogy. Then work backward.
