MESSAGE #108 - CAN ONE PERSON MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

It was low tide. Thousands of starfish were washed up on shore. Most of them would die under the hot mid-day sun.

A young boy was picking up the starfish, one at a time, running to the water’s edge and gently placing them back into the water. Then he ran back and got another star fish.

An elderly man approached the youngster and said, “Son, take a look at the thousands of starfish along the shore. What you’re doing won’t make a difference.”

The boy held up the starfish that he was holding in his hands and said, “Mister, it will make a difference to this one.”
