story
....................................................................................................
A young man is walking along the ocean and
sees a beach on which thousands and thousands of starfish have washed
ashore. Further along he sees an old man, walking slowly and stooping
often, picking up one starfish after another and tossing each one gently
into the ocean.
"Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" the young man asks.
"Because the sun is up and the tide is going
out and if I don't throw them further in they will die."
"But, old man, don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and
starfish all along it! You can't possibly save them all, you can't even
save one-tenth of them. In fact, even if you work all day, your efforts
won't make any difference at all."
The old man listened calmly and then bent down to pick up another starfish
to throw into the sea. "It made a difference to that one."
