According to the advertisement, what kind of men was Ernest Shackleton looking for?
Would you like to join an expedition like this? Why or why not?
According to the advertisement, Shackleton was looking for men who were not interested in money or comfort, but in honour and achievement, which cannot be bought.
I would like to join an expedition like this. 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.
