I can still remember when I was a mere child taking piano lessons. When I grew older and my piano teacher began to prepare me for ABRSM piano exams‚ I can clearly recall the first time I was exposed to jazz music.

I picked the second quote‚ “trans fats should not be banned. Consumers should make their own choices about what they eat. The government should educate the population about the risks of eating foods with Trans fats‚ but then let people make their own decisions.” The way I look at this situation is‚ we do a lot of bad things to our bodies.

Adam and Beth’s Wedding *Introduce myself * Adam and Beth have asked me to do a little talk at their wedding ceremony. And they asked me to base the talk around one of his favourite quotes.
