There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of
starfish had been washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the
starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man observed
the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing. The boy replied
that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die.
The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any
difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into
the ocean and said "I Made a difference to that one..."
The man left the boy and went home, deep in thought of what the boy had
said. He soon returned to the beach and spent the rest of the day helping
the boy throw starfish in to the sea....
How impactful is this story yea?To the one starfish that the boy had thrown into the sea, to that one the boy had made a difference. It's the same for us too, that though there are so many people in the world out there who is in need however as each of us do our part in making a difference in one's life one at a time, we have made a difference to the one life we had impacted.(:
There are many people who only knows how to give lip service, say all the time but no action.If only each one of us could put our words into action and care for others how you would care for ourself,we would be able to make a difference to the world.
Find a hurt and heal it
Find a need and meet it
