The Starfish Flinger (encouragement from a friend)

starfish1

As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun.

“But the beach goes on for miles; there are millions of starfish,” countered the other. “How can your effort make a difference?”

The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves.

“It makes a difference to this one,” he said.
