ESSAY: It may seem silly for a middle-aged woman to imagine herself as Robert Falcon Scott, the explorer who died in 1912 after losing the race to the South Pole. But Scott's failure is precisely what makes him so fascinating, writes writerhenriette.
, I can’t help but think of Scott on his last march to the South Pole. I wonder what he and his expedition mates went through, and how they kept on going.
But Scott’s failure is precisely what makes him so fascinating. As a lifelong athlete, I’ve been in my share of games won and lost, challenges met and unmet. I’ve had races go according to plan, and races go awry. The competitions I learn from are the ones that involve a setback or an obstacle. Sure, when a race goes well, at least you confirm your expectations and there is something to be gained from that experience.
