The Story of the Starfish
by: Loren Eisley
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
hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the
boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw
it gently back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he
said…” I made a difference for that one.”
Remember:
Vision without action is merely a dream
Action without vision just passes time
Vision with action can change the world
