The
Starfish
As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him
picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with
the youth, he asked him why he was doing this.
The young man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left until the
morning sun.
“But the beach goes on for miles and
there are millions of starfish,” countered the old man.
“How can your effort make any difference?”
The young man looked at the starfish
and then threw it to safety in the waves.
“It makes a difference to this one,” he said.
