The Starfish

As a young child an an old man walked the beach in the early morning, the old man was picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. The young child asked the old man, "why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time?" The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. "But there must be thousands of beaches and millions of starfish," exclaimed the young man, "how can your effort make any difference?" The old man looked down at the small starfish in his hand and as he threw it to safety in the sea said...

"It makes a difference to this one."
