MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY


While walking along a beach,an old man saw a young man in the distance leaning down,picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.As he came closer, he saw thousands of starfishthat tide had thrown onto the beach.Unable to return to the ocean during low tide,the starfish were dying.He observed a young man picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the water.

After watching the seemingly futile effort,the old man said, "There must bethousands of starfish on this beach.It would be impossible for you to get to all of them.There are simply too many.You can't possibly save enough to make a difference."

The young man smiled as he continued to pick upanother starfish and toss it back into the ocean. "It made a differenceto that one," he replied.

Just remember, no matter how small the deed it really does makes a difference
