Reflection on chapter 4

Take care of yourself: Maintain your stamina and let go out of guilt.

Those who chose to lead at The Edge have high energy to achieve their goals. Achieving high goal requires physical and psychological exhausting.
The expedition of Polar requires good health. But Shackleton did not have it. When his first sailing, he got what is called "sailer's fever" on his voyage. Also the expedition with Scott on Discovery, he got serious ill.
Althogh his health is not enough, his ability to take care of other's are admirable. In contrast, his self-management is not enogh. This caused his early death.
Smart people often lose their self-control on health. One reason fot it is called "summit fever." It is people engage too much on their goals, and all other is faded.
