I am facinated whenever i have chance to read about great people. One of them is Sir Ernest henry Shackleton ( 1874-1922). He was one of the gretest explorers ever lived. His whole life has been an adventrure in itself. I would advice everybody to read his biography; worth it.Out of many the incident which stuck me the most was the advertisment by Ernest Shackleton fot the Endurance crew. To recruit , he posted the following notice;
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.
In the answer more then 1000 people applied.These people were hoping to be chosen for the Antarctic exploration led by Ernest Shackleton.
Whenever i feel depreesed or if i fail somewhere i always look up to this poster on my wall. I relate the time with the situation and gather the courage and confidance to move on.
