7 Wonders Of The World

A group of students were asked to list what thought were the present “7 wonders of the world” though there were some disagreements, the following received the most vote:1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids2. Taj Mahal3. Grand Canyon4. Panama Canal5. Empire State Building6. St. Peter’s Basilica7. China’s Great WallWhile gathering 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, “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 See2. To hear3. To touch4. To Taste5. To Feel6. To laugh7. And To loveThe room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple as 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. Don’t be too busy to pass this along.

Thinking Before Speaking

Have you made the error of asking when someone's baby is due only to find out that the lady is not pregnant or that she had her baby a month ago? You usually make that mistake one time before learning to be more careful. Eric didn't seem to learn. He usually ended up sticking his foot in his mouth.Eric struggled to lose weight. He tried diet plans and consulted with his doctor. He decided to join a fitness club to try losing weight. Talking about it at work, he made the mistake of saying: “They even have classes for new moms. You should try it, Elaine. It could really help you.”Elaine's indignant response left Eric wishing he could crawl in a hole. He couldn't believe what he had said. He knew what it was like to be overweight and to have people make comments. If only he could retrieve those words. But it was like trying to catch tadpoles in a fishnet.Once words leave your mouth, it is impossible to take them back. It would be easier to eat soup with a fork than to retrieve your words once they are spoken. It is your responsibility to carefully monitor what you say. Avoid saying hurtful things for lack of forethought. Careless comments can separate friends and create walls of offense. Learn to speak words of encouragement and politeness. Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply be silent and listen.Try This: Before you speak, think how people will perceive your comments. Don't always say the first thing that pops into your head. Create a new habit: when you see someone, think of something nice about him or her: These attitudes and words will come out naturally in your conversations with them and when talking to others.

4 Reasons to forgive

Much has been said about the virtues of forgiveness, yet many today who needto forgive are unable or unwilling to do so. This is mainly due to the wrongunderstanding of what forgiveness is. Most people, when given a clearerunderstanding of what forgiveness is, become more willing to do so.Here are some good reasons why you should forgive:1. Forgiveness is about YOUMany people are of the opinion that forgiving a perpetrator allows theperpetrator to escape punishment. They think that forgiveness is aboutgiving the perpetrator a second chance at the expense of the injured party.The truth is forgiveness is all about the injured and is for the benefits ofthe injured. The focus of forgiveness is for the injured to finally be ableto let go of the pain that has continued to hurt him or her even long afterthe initial assault. It is to help the injured find peace within so that heor she can move on in life without having to continuously carry the pain ofthe injury.Forgiveness does not mean condoning the act or absolving the perpetrator ofhis or her responsibility for the action. It does not mean that the injuredwill tolerate being inflicted with the same injury again and again. It doesnot mean reconciliation although reconciliation may happen if the injuredwishes.Forgiveness means standing up for your rights and your self worth. It meansdrawing a boundary about what you will accept as OK and what is not OK. Itmeans having the courage to assert your rights and responsibilities.2. Forgiveness is the best revengePeople who have been badly hurt by an intimate person such as a spouse,partner, parent, sibling or close friend sometimes erroneously believe thatby staying in the hurt, they are somehow indirectly punishing theperpetrator. They see it as their way of getting back at the perpetrator.This logic does not hold water because very often the perpetrator does notreally care about you in the first place or else he or she would not havecause the injury. In addition, continue to wallow in the pain only prolongedthe injury long after it has happened. If it was the intention of theperpetrator to hurt you, clinging on to the pain only multiplies his or hersuccess at hurting you.In fact, the best revenge of the injured is to live a good and happy lifeafter the injury. This is the surest way to foil the perpetrator's"success".3. Forgiveness improves your healthStudies have shown that an unforgiving heart suffers increased risk ofstress, anxiety, depression, anger, hatred, jealousy, ill will, sadness andinsomnia. In addition, an unforgiving heart also risks high blood pressure,heart attack, skin eruptions, arthritis, backache, stomach ulcer, migraine,frequent cold and perhaps even risk of malignancy.Genuine forgiveness, on the other hand, can have the opposite effects. Thereis reduced stress, anxiety, depression, anger, hatred, jealousy, ill will,sadness and insomnia as well as a reduction in physical ailments. On top ofthat, studies have also shown that those who are forgiving tend to grow oldwith more peace and satisfaction, and less afraid to face death.So, a forgiving person benefits from improved health in all areas, i.e.physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.4. Forgiveness makes you a better and stronger personAnother myth about forgiveness is that only the weak forgives. The truth isthat only the strong can forgive. That is because forgiveness requires thecourage to truly face the emotional pain and injuries, to embrace them andthen to eventually let them go. This task is so difficult and painful thatmany are not able to face it but it is a necessary initial step towardsforgiveness.So, only the strong can forgive. The good news is that once the injured isable to go through the process of forgiveness, he or she will

being sorry

being sorry for the first time shows you are indeed sorry for your act... but the second time means you did it on a purpose... isnt it that when you asked somebody to be part of your life, that also means you have the responsibility over her?... and yet just how stupid others may be... to make someone wait hanging without any clue... just so inconsiderate of others feelings... while he is having fun chitchatting "others", he doesnt know theres someone waiting in despair for his assurance...

GIRLS WANT

Remember that every human being wants to be appreciated. The more genuine and specific you are, the better..Respect her future. The fact is, you might not end up being "the one". Don't do anything that will compromise her future because of something you did. If you aren't ready to be a father, don't work the relationship that way. If you don't like "used goods" then don't ruin her possibilities by turning her into them...Let her talk about herself. If you say you want to get to know her better, and you then take over all the conversations, she will think you are self-centered and not very interested in her after all..Maintain good hygiene. Take a shower, put on deodorant, brush your teeth, and shave (if needed) right before you see her—every time. Nothing makes a girl more uncomfortable than body odor and/or bad breath..Listen! You need to be a good listener. That works with most of the girls; they need someone who will patiently listen and understand them! There is a huge difference between "hearing" and "listening", so make sure you are actively listening to her...Be truthful. There is no need to lie. Being honest means you respect her wants and needs, but you also recognize your own. If you find yourself always apologizing or trying to soothe her ruffled feathers, you need to honestly decide whether or not the two of you are a match. Treating a girl well also means recognizing this truth, and telling her in a way that hurts as little as possible—as soon as you know...Make her feel comfortable. Relax and enjoy the time you spend together..Be real with her, and with yourself. This cannot be stressed enough. If you find yourself saying or doing something and thinking another, step back. Take a look at yourself, and ask yourself what you really want. Share that self with her, because she can and will see that you aren't everything that you say and do...
