My Slice of Life: Seven Wonders of the World

Today My Slice of Life on the Seven Wonders...if you are given a task on what is the Seven Wonders of the world. what would be your answers?

A group of geography students study the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of the section, the student will ask to list what they considered Seven Wonders of the world.

Though there will some disagreement, these got the most votes.

1. Egypt's great Pyramid
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St Peter's Bascilia
7. China's Great Wall

When gathering the votes, the teacher notes that one student, a quiet girl, has not turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she has any trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, Yes a little...I couldn't make up my mind because there were so many.

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what we have and maybe we can help." The girl hesitate and then read.."I think the Seven Wonder 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

Just because some things are in abundance doesn't make them less precious. Mother deliver their babies occurs regularly though, but think about the amount of effort, sacrifice, agony and endurance that went through nine months before. And all the possible things that couldn't gone wrong but didn't. All the complexities that involved in conception, pregnancy and the final delivery and how everything worked together to create another life - a miracle in itself.

Things like the Great Wall, Egypt's Pyramid may be wondrous in sheer immensity and architectural and genius involved but these are not the things which make life more worth living. Seek out the true wonders of world - your family, your friends and your ability to appreciate and to enjoy simple things in life.

It's my time for reflection. I think I spend too much time at work, neglected my parents sometimes..must really spend quality time with them..Sometimes, we don't appreciate things that we have around us, always take them for granted..just a thought of mine..How about you?
