Let’s go.I read Alfred Lansing’s book about the Endurance mission for the 5th time to kick off 2026. It’s an amazingstory of adventure and expression of the human will to survive and one of the greatest survival and leadershipstories ever.-28 men stranded in Antarctica as their ship was crushed in the ice flows-No communication with the outside world-3 life boats, some guns, some rations, tents, reindeer skin sleeping bags and a group of (mostly) cheerfulchaps.I’ll do my best to not spoil it.Shackleton’s family motto = Fortitudine vincimus, which is Latin for “Through endurance we conquer.”A favourite quote from the book talking about how the situation they were put in allowed Shackleton to expresshis true genius:“Thus, while Shackleton was undeniably out of place, even inept, in a great many everyday situations, he had atalent—a genius even—that he shared with only a handful of men throughout history—genuine leadership. He was, asone of his men put it, “the greatest leader that ever came on God’s earth, bar none.” For all his blind spotsand inadequacies, Shackleton merited this tribute:For scientific leadership give me Scott; for swift and efficient travel, Amundsen; but when you are in ahopeless situation, and when there seems no way out, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.”May that inspire you to find a situation where you can express your own genius.Highly recommended read.
