One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up
and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked,
“What are you doing?”
​
The youth replied,
“Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out.
If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
​
“Son,”
the man said,
“don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and thousands of starfish?
You can’t possibly make a difference!”
​
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf.
Then, smiling at the man, he said…
​
“I made a difference for that one.”
