Maybe Ernest Shackleton was looking for men who were not interested in money or comfort, but in honor and achievement, which cannot be bought.
2. Would you like to join an expedition like this
Yes. Although it would be extremely tough, the sense of achievement I would get from doing it would be worth it. I don’t think I could get the same feeling from anything else.
