The Starfish Story
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
You can’t make a difference!”
and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…”
I made a difference for that one.”

I've liked that story for a long time and never get tired of it. Just one thing, if you are a starfish and lucky enough to have some benefactor throw you back in the water, don't go crawling back on the beach, OK. We only get so many lucky chances.
