The eulogy virtue is what we need to make the society a better place. A resume virtue is what we need to sustain ourselves. One is closer to ideal, one is closer to reality. Balance is the only thing we need for a healthy and happy life.

Mr Money Mustache said in his YC interview, “don’t start a blog, start a cult.” This sounds like the sort of (positive) cult to found. Using peer support and reinforcement to better enable success in living a virtuous life.

A positive cult is either a contradiction in terms, or a religion, depending on your perspective.

But I get what the quote is saying - to aim to inspire passion in others.
