On one particular day, there was a boy who went to the beach and to his surprise there were a lot of starfish on the shore. The boy started walking and picking up the starfish one by one and throwing it back to the sea. While he was doing that, there was an old man nearby observing what he was doing. The old man couldn't understand why the boy did that. Why did he bother picking up the starfish and throwing them back into the sea when he knew that every time the waves come, it will just wash the starfish back to shore? It’s just a fruitless effort. The old man approached him and asked.

"Why do you bother throwing back the starfish when they would just be washed back to shore? What different does it make? It’s only a waste of time,” said the man.

The boy replied, “It may not be much different to you or me but it makes a whole lot different to that one starfish who is already thrown in the water and doesn't get washed back to shore."

Lots of Love,
