Make
A
Difference?
While walking along a beach, a man saw someone in the
distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into
the ocean.
As he came closer, he saw thousands of starfish the tide
had thrown onto the beach. Unable to return to the ocean during
low tide, the starfish were dying. He observed a young woman
picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them back into
the water.
After watching the seemingly futile effort, the observer said,
"There must be thousands of starfish on this beach. It would
be impossible for you to get to all of them. There are simply
too many. You can't possibly save enough to make a difference."
The young woman smiled as she continued to pick up another
starfish and toss it back into the ocean.
"It made a difference to that one," she replied.
