A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present “Seven Wonders of the World.”
Though they 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. And to love…
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary that we take for granted are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder:
That the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
michelle email me and tell me where
Just keep your fingers crossed!

aww tat is so sweet..(i meant those pics)..hehe..but wat the gurl said was really really true:blush:
Hey! I am French and i live in paris!
They forget the Eiffel Tower!
lol
Never Mind!
Have a nice day!
That’s a really nice, thought-provoking story. I particularly like the moral at the end, “That the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man. “
What the little girl mentioned is indeed very true..
We always take things for granted
no offence to french, indeed Eiffel Tower would be the 8th wonder if it’s as old as a pyramid. Otherwise, there will be too many wonders around the world. My point: your handphone is priceless 100 yrs ago, but it only worth $10 on ebay today.
