    What do you think of the Tai Kitchen? Let’s see what some customers said about the restaurant.

Tom

I went to the Tai Kitchen last week with my friends. It’s the place with the long lie outside! But don’t worry—you won’t need to wait very long and the foods are worth the wait. I had the chef’s special dish of the day, beef and salad.                    The restaurant gets noisy sometimes, but if you don’t go in busy hours, you’ll find it nice and quiet.

Helen

I died the Tai Kitchen a year ago and I keep coming back. It’s always busy and the atmosphere is very lively. The waiters are friendly and helpful and have a good knowledge of the dishes on the menu. There aren’t many kinds of food, but                    the food is tasty. You’re usually served quickly, so it’s a great place to go.

Peter

I was really excited about eating at the Tai Kitchen, butitwas very disappointing. The atmosphere is very modern. The food is tasty, but it is expensive. I was not happy with the service, either.

    A few years ago, David, a top manager, thought his life wasn’t moving forward. So he started to set himself 30-day challenges. The idea was simple: think of something you want to add to your life-or to give up-and try it every day for 30 days.

David began with easy projects like going to work by bike, not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he tried more difficult ones, like writing a novel in 30 days. David learned that if you do something for 30 days. It can become a habit. If you stop doing something for 30 days, you can break the habit. As he did harder challenges, he got more confident. He learned that he could do something if he really wanted to do it. After doing the challenges for a few months, he had enough confidence to climb the highest mountain in Africa.

David gave an online talk about how the challenges changed his life. More than 5 million people around the world have watched his talk and the 30-day challenge quickly became very popular.
