1. Some people say " I play what I like"
2. Some people say " I like it when I hear it"
3. Some people say " I'll give it a try, I'll take some time to appreciate
it"
4. Some people say " This is this. That is that"
5. Some people say " This can be that. That can be this"
6. Some people say " Why not be that as well as this"
7. Some people say " I'll take your word for it"
8. Some people say " Yes you are right. However..."
This is life..
