With what spirit?

It's so much easier to write a resume than to craft a spirit.
Anna Quindlen, A Short Guide to a Happy Life, 2000(1953 - )

This begged an interesting question for me. On the one hand what does it take to create a resume and on the other, what does it take to craft a spirit?

Most resumes' are lists of people acheivements, qualifications earned, pieces of paper, occupational experiences and the like. Few give insight as to the character of the person, although it has always made me laugh as a previous employer to see when young people but a "Character" Section on their resume. They would write traits such as "honest, hard working, reliable, teachable" and so on. What employer though would hire someone with the expectation of them turning up late, stealing the stationary and giving the boss lip while sitting back and doing nothing?

It's always easier to tell people what you've done, but so much harder for you to tell them with what spirit you did it with. To craft a spirit, speaks of iron sharpening iron. It speaks of the times you turned up to work when you really didn't want to get out of bed. Doing things when you didn't feel like it. It's about your character, integrity, zest for the task at hand and your vision.

The spirit in which you do something with is something that can only be shown, aside from this you will never be able to explain it to another, only your previous employers or leaders can do this, for the spirit in which you do the task can always be seen by others.
