The Seven 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 were some disagreement, these 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"

Just because some things are in abundance doesn't make them less precious. Mothers delivering their babies occurs regularly enough, but think about the amount of effort, sacrifice, agony, and endurance that went on nine months before. And all the possible things that could have gone wrong but didn't. All the complexities 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, the Pyramids of Egypt, may be wondrous in the sheer immensity and architectural genuis involved, but these are not the things which make life worth living. Seek out the true wonders of the world --- your family, your friends, your ability to appreciate and enjoy the simple things in life.

真的，有时候，我们人总是忽略了最实在、最基本的事物。可能外国的月亮真的比较圆吧，可是，那是因为我们忘了珍惜我们所拥有的。你要知道，当你觉得甲国的月亮比较圆时，甲国的人民可能也在觉得你国家的月亮比较圆呀！

人是不知足的动物，所以，才会有不满。有时，眼睛看靠近一点儿，你可能会有意想不到的收获哦！

加油！馆主祝福大家一切变得更好！

馆主也觉得，我们不要害怕失败，因为每次的失败，就是为了成就我们的未来。要坚强，要加油哦！

Letting Go

Letting go. It's much harder than it sounds. In the physical sense, it is almost effortless. But emotionally, it often requires a tremendous amount of courage.

Letting go of a partner who no longer wants to work at the relationship. Letting go of a child who is no longer a child. Letting go of the ghost of a loved one. Letting go of anger and resentment. Letting go of pride.

But the ability to "let go" is crucial for happiness and peace of mind. The people who break down at the feet of misfortune and loss are the ones who haven't learnt how to "let go", the ones who are frozen by the winter wind because they could not stop weeping by their dead crops.

It's important that we understand the true meaning of letting go.

Letting go does not mean that you stop caring. It means that you can no longer do it for someone else.

Letting go is not cutting yourself off. It's realizing that you can't control another.

Letting go is not trying to change or blame another. It's about making the most of yourself.

Letting go is not caring for, but caring about.

Letting go is not about fixing. It's about being supportive.

Letting go is not judging. It's allowing another to be a human being.

Letting go is not denying. It's accepting.

Letting go is not adjusting everything to your vagaries and desires, but taking each day as it comes and cherishing yourself in it.

Letting go is not about regretting the past. It's about growing and living for the future.

Letting go is fearing less, and loving more.

Letting go emotionally is endlessly harder than letting go physically. But if you practise it, you'll find it easier and easier to do. Choose peace of mind.

说“放下”，可能对有些人来说，是件很困难的事。其实，要学习放下是需要莫大的勇气的。真正的英雄是不败的勇者，你是勇者吗？

但愿大家在新的一年会学习勇敢，也在新的一年学会“放下”以前不开心、不愉快的事情。
