There was a man taking a morning wa lk at or the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide
came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning
sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps,
picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn’t understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked,
“What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference
does it make?” This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into
the water, and said, “It makes a difference to this one.”
Moral:
What difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small
difference, we’d end up with a big difference, wouldn’t we? You can’t save everyone but you can
make a difference by helping one person today.
