A delicious cheesecake :)

Life is like a recipe for a cake. 

If you follow the usual ingredients you will make the cake 

but you will already know how it will taste. 

People will appreciate it but they will forget it very soon. 

It always takes a touch of genius in any recipe to be sure that it won’t die 

with the last bite.
