Default Seven Wonders

Seven Wonders

A group of students were asked to make a list that they thought were the current Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:


1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Hoover Dam
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 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 touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear

She hesitated a little, and then added,

5. to feel
6. to laugh and
7. to love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought nor are they made with man's hands.

Have a wonderful day...count your blessings

That's very much like the rich and poor subject.... no-one really realises how lucky they are until they lose something....

Life sucks normally, but we all have things that we are lucky in...

So you believe in Luck :?:

So presumably you also believe in fate :?: Things will be what they will be :arrow: Destiny :arrow: It was meant to happen :arrow: and that sort of thing :?:

Do you also look when crossing the road :?: If so why :?: just leave it to fate ;-)

Fate and Luck imply that there is a mystical force or controlling influence in the universe :-k
