In yesterday's blog entry we mentioned the expression "I'm in seventh heaven". Curious why it had to be the seventh heaven we tried to trace the word's origin and found the following explanation that could well and truely be a wonderful inspiration if your looking for a creative way to start your presentation:
Some of the Middle East's ancient religion believed the afterlife consisted of seen celestial layers, each more prosperous and beautiful than the one before. The first heaven was emerald, the second silver, the third pearl, the fourth ruby, the fifth gold, the sixth jacinth, and the seventh pure white light - the best of all.
There you go - a perfect entry for any presentation. Just be creative! Enjoy!
