Shackleton's Wisdom

January 2, 1909, Shackleton said: "I cannot think of failure yet. I must look at the matter sensibly and consider the lives of those who are with me...man can only do his best..."

Two days later he wrote: "The end is in sight. We can only go for three more days at the most, for we are weakening rapidly".

Which will you listen to?
