Here is something my grandma sent me that I found really inspiring.
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. The Great Pyramids of Egypt
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. The Great Wall of China
While gathering the votes the teacher noticed that there was one student who had not yet finished. When asked if she was having difficulty she replied "Yes, I am. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there are 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.
You could hear a pin drop in that classroom.
A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be built by man or bought with money.
