Donna G Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 "Seven Wonders of the World" 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 Pyramids 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 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 she 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 have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder this holiday season -- that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilyjohn Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Donna I recieve numerous things everyday by email. Everyone has something that they want to have forwarded. None have said so much and to the point in so few words. Would you mind if I copied that story and used it to start a forward to the people that I correspond with..? I know many who could use that kind of eye opener! Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
