Read the following passage and then identify the main idea:
TROUBLED WATERS-
The Northwest Passage is a sea route from Atlantic Ocean westward to the Pacific. Located north of the Artic Circle, the route is filled with thousands of huge icebergs. Explorers began searching for the passage in the late 1400s. They wanted to find a shorter route from Europe to Asia. Over many years, explorers such as Francis Drake and Henry Hudson tried to find the passage. All had problems sailing in the icy waters. The Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen finally completed the difficult voyage by sea in 1905. It took Amundsen and his crew three years to make the dangerous journey to Alaska.
Because the Northwest Passage is so difficult to sail through, explorers took hundreds of years to find it.
The Northwest Passage is filled with large icebergs and is a dangerous route to travel.
Though it took him three years, explorer Roald Amundsen successfully sailed the entire Northwest Passage in 1905.

PLEASE read the ENTIRE following passage, then identify the theme:
(*the next question will also be based on this story and ask for evidence to prove the correct theme)
A Tale of Two Sisters
Liane was confident about the sand sculpture contest. She and her sister, Amanda, had been building sandcastles for years. People often stopped to admire the intricate details of their creations.
The two knelt in the damp sand by the foamy surf and tried to hatch a winning idea for the contest.
"We should make something really unusual for this contest. Like a giant octopus or something," said Liane.
"I thought we were making a sandcastle town, like we always do. Look, I collected all these shells for the walls," said Amanda. She pointed at a pile of smooth cowrie shells.
"Come on, let's do something different," Liane insisted. "Think big!"
"I don't know," Amanda said, dragging a finger in the sand. "No, I'm sticking to the original plan." She compressed a clump of sand between her palms, shaping it into a castle corner.
"I'll just make my own, then," Liane said. She marched to another spot a few yards away, plopped herself down, and began making her own sculpture.
At the end of the day, Liane gave up on her sculpture of a giant octopus attacking a castle. It looked like a lopsided shack with a blob on it. Liane hadn't had time to add any details.
Amanda had made a satisfactory castle, small but neatly ornamented with shells. Around it she had shaped the sand to look like rolling farmland. Amanda had spent most of her time on making a little herd of shell cows.
Looking around, Liane realized that neither of them would win the contest. Liane's sculpture was missing Amanda's skillful touch, and Amanda's castle was missing Liane's big ideas.
You won't win if you don't plan ahead.
Sometimes it's good to try new things on your own.
Sometimes it's better to compromise and work together.
