I’m having a great time at the Founders Institute event tonight in Seattle. I really enjoyed this image that Dan Fine included in his presentation, of an advertisement that Ernest Shackleton posted for explorers for his ship. It read:
“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.”
I LOVE that! Remind me to edit our TeachStreet job descriptions going forward 🙂
This job description has just become the default test job for AttentionHr.
If you haven't read 'Endurance' about this journey, you are missing out on one of the best stories of all time!!
Perhaps this is silly, but the notion behind this posting is partly why I want to be/lead a startup. Life's ought to be adventurous and fulfilling, otherwise we might as well be dead.
Are you share your findings on a Teach Friday?
I do enjoy this post. Also, I do agree with Kirill, as it does go to say that that is how life is. I appreciate the rest of the comments already written! Good Luck in the future ventures!
