Assignment #4

Answers to the question 5 in Chapter 6.

I was really impressed by how Shackleton acted on serving an extra hot milk on his account under such a harsh condition. To be honest, I would not expect anyone to act the same as what he did if I were in his situation. In fact, I consider it to be pretty natural for a man to behave 'selfish' to save his own life fist even if he sees the other members suffering.
However, there are some experiences I have done on self sacrificing (with circumstances not as harsh as the one in the expedition log though). Recently, team members in Department of Designing and Advertisement in ICU Festival Committee has been working hard on making a pamphlet. I asked them if there's anything I could do, and helped them translate some pages into English. It took me couple of hours to have them done all, and I had to cut my sleeping time (which is precious, since I have other stuffs to do). I do not take this as an action equivalent to "serving tea and milk", but this was the latest commitment I had made upon my team members.
