motivation in a minute

got this from a mail my uncle sent me..
try reading through..it's actually a movie.. i extracted the story from the movie and copied down the words shown throughout the clip..

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present 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. Naigara Falls
5.Empire State Building
6.St. Peter's Basilica
7. The Great Wall of China
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 they 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 while and continue..
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 for all of us that the most precious things in life cannot be bought..they must be experienced with the heart.
