Further along he sees an old man, walking slowly and stooping often, picking up one
starfish after another and tossing each one gently into the ocean.

"Because the sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don't throw them further in
they will die."

"But, old man, don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it! You can't
possibly save them all, you can't even save one-tenth of them.”

“In fact, even if you work all day,
your efforts won't make any
difference at all."

down to pick up another starfish and throw it into
the sea.

"It made a difference to
that one."

Every action counts……no matter how small it seams
at the time!

If the task seems daunting and you don’t think you’re making
a difference…….you are probably wrong!

Taking time to help others……..will never make your day go bad!
