In a sunny morning a boy started
his morning walk at a sandy sea beach. He was overjoyed with the nice weather
and the soft sea wind. He was totally involved with the sound of the fresh
morning tide. Just after a while he served that along with the morning tide,
there were hundreds of live starfishes coming to the beach. When the tide
receded, the live starfishes were left behind. When the the warm sun ray fall
on them, they would die. The boy paused for a second, thought something and
then bent down to pick a starfish and then threw it into the sea to give him
life. He repeated the same. Right behind him there was a man who couldn't
understand what this boy was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What
are you doing? There are hundreds of starfishes. How many can you help? What
difference does it make?". This boy looked at the man, did not reply, took
two more steps, picked up another starfish, threw it into the water, and said,
"It makes a difference at least to this one”.
"What difference are we making?
what positive impact we are bringing ? What good thing we are doing ? Whether
it is big or small, large or tiny, it
does not matter. If everyone make a small difference then we will end up with a
big difference. If you bring a positive impact everyday then eventually it will
be a great impact. Hence they say “A thousands mile journey started with a
single step”
