7 Wonders of the World

Note: Received this in an email from my dear friend Huixian.

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes.

1. Egypt's Great Pyramind
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. empire State Builing
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So he asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the "Seven Wonders of the World" are:

1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. To Love

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wonderous! A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in life cannot be build by hand or bought by man.

What ever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.
