7 Wonders of the World

I read this today in Martin Avis' lovely newsletter, 'Kickstart Daily' - and it touched me deeply for a moment.... so I'd like to share it with you.

The 7 Wonders of the World

A group of Geography students studied the Seven Wonders
of the World. At the end of that section, the students
were asked to list what they considered to be the 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. 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, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet.
So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with
her list.

The quiet 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

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

I think she's right!
