Saving stranded STARfish
There was a despondent man walking along a beach
At a distance he saw a man picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea
The despondent asked what he was doing
"The tide has gone down and the starfish needs to be in the water or they will die"
"But how many can u save? The whole beach is full of starfish. You are wasting your time"
Upon hearing that, the man ran to the nearest starfish, picked it up and threw it into the sea.
"I made a difference to that one!"
This is not the first time I heard this story but it encourages me never to give up. Sometimes, situations may overwhelm us. Do it bit by bit. Make a difference to a soul.
