THE LEGEND OF THE STARFISH SAYS IT BEST......
A vacationing businessman was walking along a beach when he saw a young
boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide
and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy walked slowly along
the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed the beached starfish
back into the ocean. The businessman, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson
in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what
you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do
you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish
are dying on every beach every day. Surely such an industrious and kind
hearted boy such as yourself could find something better to do with your time.
Do you really think that what you are doing is going to make a difference?"
The boy looked up at the man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his
feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean,
he said, "It makes a difference to that one".
