Good morning, to the Headmistress, Madam Jane, fellow teachers, parents and dear students. First of all, I like to thank the organizing committee of this Entrepreneurship Day for giving me an opportunity to talk today. I am honoured to be invited here. This school was a place where I shared many moments while growing up. For my speech today, I want to talk about “Why breakfast is the most important meal of the day?”. By the way, have you had your breakfast this morning? If you do, then it’s good for you. If you don’t, then, after listening to my talk today, I am sure you would never miss your breakfast again. There is a saying by a well-known American author and nutritionist, Adelle Davis, which given much weight to breakfast. It says, ‘eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper’. This literally means breaking the fast of the night. As we all know, the term ‘breakfast’ literally translates as ‘breaking the fast’, which makes breakfast as the first meal usually eaten in the morning. Imagine how many hours have it been since one eats after having dinner, say, at 7 pm and then having breakfast at 7 am the next morning? In this case, it would be more or less than 12 hours-thus, making breakfast the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is also considered as brain food because it will get you going in the morning. It influences the way your body performs mentally and physically. Breakfast should be taken within the two hours after you woke up.
