A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of
starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she
came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back
into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She had been
doing this for some time when a man approached her and said,
“Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach!
You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to
make a difference!” The girl seemed crushed, suddenly
deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up
another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the
ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I
made a difference to that one!”
This story proves that no matter who you are, or where you come
from,
YOU CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE
