  Neerja Bhanot was a 22-year-old flight attendant working on Pan Am Flight 73 when it was hijacked by terrorists during a layover in 1986.   Soon after taking control, the terrorists killed an Indian-American traveler and discarded his body outside the plane.    They ordered Bhanot to gather the passengers' passports to single out Americans.  However, she concealed the identities of the 43 Americans on the flight by stashing their passports under seats and discarding others.   After a tense 17-hour standoff, the hijackers began shooting and setting off explosives.  Bhanot bravely opened the plane's doors, and rather than escaping herself, she helped passengers evacuate.  Tragically, she lost her life while shielding three American children from gunfire.   One of the kids she safeguarded grew up to become an airline captain, crediting Bhanot as his inspiration.

 A panic to be perfect, To have everything figured out before 30 A panic to stay ahead of the cost of living crisis, buy a house All whist staying present because “ you are only in your 20s once” remember? A panic when people’s success on linkedin makes your stomach drop. A panic when you’ve got no plans on Friday night, But the rest of instagram stories does. A panic to constantly self improve,to read more books, until reading more books becomes more of a chore than a hobby that you do just to tick off to do list. A panic to make people proud and spend time with aging grandparents. To keep up with trends, plan with friends, and skincare. Quite frankly, I’m tired of panicking about the panic years, but I know I’m going to continue to panic about them anyway . -trulytwenties  @Public Voice News Agency

Time is a precious natural resource and the most valuable thing in the world.  Time: the indefinite but continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future. It is the only thing in the world that is limitless. Time should not be wasted in any way, as we can earn the money we spend, we cannot get back Time we lost. This makes Time more valuable than money. Therefore, we should understand Time and utilize this precious resource in the most possible way. Yes, like people say, success takes Time but whatever we do with every minutes spent amounts to what we become, either as a king or a beggar is determined by the movement of seconds and our use of it, like the saying; if you waste Time, Time will waste you; justifies how valuable Time is. Time is the most wonderful and practical thing that has no beginning and no end. It can neither be created nor be destroyed. Time is the only dimension in which we all live our lives, it affects everything we do, even affects o...
