As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking upstarfish and flinging them into the sea.
Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the strandedstarfish would die if left until the morning sun.
"But the beach goes on for miles and there aremillions of starfish," countered the other."How can your effort make any difference?"
The young man looked at the starfish in hishand and then threw it safely in the waves.
"It makes a difference to this one," he said.
from poet & author Loren Eisley
Don't doubt for a moment that you can't make a difference in even one person's life. And if you make a difference in even one person's life, it matters to them. Who knows what difference they may make in the lives of others. ~mindy
