A story I came across years back still inspires me each day. A man was taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish. When the tide receded, the starfish were left behind and would die in the morning sun. While the tide was fresh and the starfish were alive, the man took a few steps, picked one up, and threw it into the water, and continued throwing starfish back into the ocean. Behind him was a stranger who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" The man did not reply; rather, he took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one."
