Making a Difference..!!
Tom used to go for walk every day on beach. One day there he noticed a man/ who was leaning down to pick up something/ and then throw it into water.
When he got close he saw that, person was picking up starfish/ that had been washed up on beach/ and he was picking them up/ one at a time and throwing them back in the water.
Tom got confused and approached that man and said, “Good evening, i was wondering what you are doing?”
Man smiled and replied, “I am throwing back starfish/ which were washed up on shore/ and if i don’t throw them back into ocean/ then they will die up here/ because of lack of oxygen.”
Tom replied, “I understand…”
Then a little while later he said, “But there must be thousands of starfish on this beach/ and you can’t possibly get all of them..
And this may be happening on hundreds of beaches.. then how does throwing some of these starfish back in ocean/ can make a difference??”
Man smiled, he bent down and picked up yet another starfish, then threw it back into ocean /and then pointing toward that fish/ he replied, “It would make a difference to that one..!!”
Moral:
We all have the opportunity to help create positive change but person tend to think that – How much difference can he make? We might not be able to change the entire world but at least you can change a small part of it for someone.
