                             The Starfish

As the old man walked the beach at dawn he noticed a young man ahead of him 
picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with 
the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The young man answered "The 
stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun." "But the beach 
goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish," countered the old 
man. "How can your effort make any difference?" The young man looked at the 
starfish in his hand and then threw it to the safety of the waves. "It makes 
a difference to this one," he said.
