The students were asked to list the seven wonders of the world. Most voted for well-known structures like the pyramids and Great Wall of China. However, one student listed senses and emotions as the true wonders: to see, hear, touch, taste, feel, laugh, and love. Her answer reminded others that the most precious things in life cannot be built or bought, like our basic human experiences.

- 1. THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
- 2. 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:
- 3. 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
- 4. While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet.
- 5. 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."
- 6. The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help".
- 7. "The girl hesitated, then read: "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
- 8. 1. To See...
- 10. 3. To Touch...
- 11. 4. To Taste...
- 12. 5. To Feel...
- 13. 6. To Laugh...
- 14. 7. And to Love."
- 15. 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!
- 16. A gentle reminder :
- 17. That the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man. Don't be too busy to pass this along.
