"What Do You Consider To be The Seven Wonders Of Your World?"

What are the Seven Wonders of the World?
By: Author Unknown

A group of students was 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. Saint Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noticed that one
quiet student hadn't turned in 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 and that we
take for granted are truly wondrous!
