A Worthwhile Challenge
Most people agree that learning to play a musical instrument is one of the most worthwhile things they have ever done but also one of the hardest. children are very enthusiastic when they first take up an instrument but don't realize how much practice will be involved. Sadly, they quickly start to lose interest as they find the technical skill increasingly difficult. If they feel they are not enough progress, young people often give up having lessons after two or three years. But those people have enough talent and determination and are willing to make efforts to reach a reasonable standard, can feel a strong sense of achievement.
Apart from a lifelong hobby and a valuable skill, playing an instrument for pleasure is also beneficial in less obvious ways. This is an effective way of reducing stress your brain is completely focused on the music, which means worrying about anything else is impossible.

Food Firsts
How much do you know about the history of some of your favorite foods? Do you know when people in England started cooking curry dishes? Do you know in which country pizzas or hamburgers were first made? The facts might surprise you.
Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In reality, wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years before the British ships traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of King Richard I were making curry dishes, and in fact, the word "curry" can be found in an English language cookbook as far back as 1377.
As for pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza became popular in Naples, Italy!
Finally, let's look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food. However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A German named Ott Kuasw created the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors introduced hamburgers to Americans.
Where foods come from isn't nearly as important as how they taste; as long as they are delicious! So, go get some of your favorite food and dig in.
