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 . 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 had not finished 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 :
2 . to hear 3 . to touch 4 . to taste 5 . to feel 6 . to laugh 7 . and to love . " 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! A gentle reminder - - that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man . 💝 THE GIFT OF LISTENING . . .But you must REALLY listen . No interrupting, no daydreaming , no planning your response . Just listening.
THE GIFT OF AFFECTION . . .Be generous with appropriate hugs , kisses , pats on the back and handholds . Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends .
THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER . . .Clip cartoons . Share articles and funny stories . Your gift will say, " I love to laugh with you . "
THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE . . .It can be a simple " Thanks for the help " note or a full sonnet . A brief , handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime , and may even change a life.
THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT . . .A simple and sincere , " You look great in red ," "You did a super job " or " That was a wonderful meal " can make someones day .
THE GIFT OF A FAVOR . . .Every day , go out of your way to do something kind .
THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE . . .There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone . Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others .
THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION . . .The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone , really it ' s not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You . Friends are a very rare jewel , indeed . They make you smile and encourage you to succeed . They lend an ear , they share a word of praise , and they always want to open their hearts to us. |
