adopting...

You
Can Make A Difference...
The
Starfish Story
While
walking along a beach one morning after a violent storm, an
elderly gentleman saw a figure in the distance leaning down,
picking something up and throwing it into the ocean. As he
drew closer, he saw that it was a young man, picking up
starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the
water.
The
old man came closer and called out, "Good morning! May I
ask what it is that you are doing?" The youngster paused,
looked up, and answered "I’m throwing starfish into the
ocean. After last night’s storm, they washed up onto the
beach, and if I don't throw them back into the water they will
die."
Upon
hearing this, the old man responded "But, my dear fellow,
don’t you realize that there are thousands
of starfish that have been washed up along this beach? You
can't possibly make
a difference!"
The
young man paused for a moment to consider what had been said.
Then he bent down to pick up another starfish before throwing
it past the breaking waves into the sea. "Well”, he
replied, “it made a difference to that
one." Paraphrased from "The Star Thrower" by
Loren Eiseley, 1907 - 1977
