An old man walking along the beach came upon a child sifting through debris left by the nightโ€™s tide. Every so often, he would pick up a starfish and toss it back to the sea.


The old man asked him the purpose of his efforts. โ€The tide has washed the starfish onto the beach. They will die unless I throw them back.โ€


The old man looked around at the miles of beach. โ€There are more starfish than you can ever save. You cannot make a difference.โ€


The child bent to pick up another starfish and send it back to the ocean. Then he looked up at the old man, smailed and replied, โ€œI can make a difference to this one.โ€


You make a difference!
