🏔You only need to focus on one little step forward. You don’t need to conquer the entire mountain right now. You don’t need to have everything figured out today. The only possible way to climb a mountain is by climbing it one step at a time. Don’t think about the peak, don’t worry about what may come later. Instead, focus just on the one little step in front of you..

Reading passage
In the face of advancing Japanese troops during World War II, US and Filipino forces under General Douglas MacArthur abandoned Manila and retreated west to the Bataan Peninsula. Crippled by malaria, weakened from their decision to share their food rations with the civilians, and demoralised after MacArthur‟s departure for Australia, the surviving defenders surrendered when they became convinced that no outside help would arrive. What followed became known as the Bataan Death March. The Japanese led 55,000 American and Filipino prisoners on a brutal six-day, 120-mile trek to a prison in the Pampanga Province. Each day on the way ended with the slaughter of all prisoners too ill to continue.
More than half the captives died in this way and another 25% perished in the camp before the war ended.

⚜️📝 Airplanes are amazing. How 1-.... something so big and heavy 2-..... the ground? I’m always amazed at how the millions of different parts work together. Travelling by airplane is always 3-..... experience. I don’t care 4-..... economy class is 5-..... and has no space. I like playing with the 6-...... entertainment system, especially now they have all the 7-.... movies. I also love airplane food. Many of my friends say it’s 8-..... , but I love it. I often ask the passenger next to me if I can have the 9-........ they don’t want. The only thing I don’t like about planes is 10-...... . When the airplane hits those air pockets, I always worry we’ll crash. But I once read that 10-...... has never caused an airplane to crash.
