Starfish In The Sand
I heard this story long ago and it still influences me today.
"I was walking along a beach when I saw a woman picking up starfish off the sand and tossing them into the waves. I asked her what she was doing. The lady replied "When the tide goes out it leaves these starfish stranded on the beach. They will dry up and die before the tide comes back in, so I am throwing them back into the sea where they can live."
'But this beach is miles long and there are hundreds of stranded starfish, many will die before you reach them - do you really think throwing back a few starfish is really going to make a difference?' I asked.
The woman gently picked up a starfish and looked at it, "It makes a difference to this one" she said as she threw it into the waves.
