Starfish
One day, a man was walking along the beach. When he noticed a figure in the distance, as he got closer, he realized the figure was that of a boy picking somthing up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Aproaching the boy he asked ; "What are you doing? " The youth replied; " Throwing a starfish into the ocean".
Soon the sun is up and the tide is going out. If i dont throw them up they will die. Son, the mad said: don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't possible make a difference! After listening politely, the boy bent down picked up another star fish, and threw it unto the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said... I make a difference for that one.
A simple act of kindness can make a difference.
Whoever you are.. Wherever you are.. You can make a difference..
To your family, to your friends, even to unfamiliar faces..
Sometimes we feel that we are insignificant like the little boy.. Yet just like the little boy who picked up a starfish, the simple act of kindness made a whole lot of difference to a starfish. When you make a little smile to another person, be it your family, friends or strangers you meet,, you had made a great difference to them..
Simple little action can make a great difference to the one you care most.. saving a starfish is a metaphor of this little action.. Lets make a difference now..
