There was a wise man who had a habit of walking on the beach every day before starting his work.
One day he saw a young woman who was reaching down, picking up small objects and throwing them in the ocean.
As the wise man came closer, he called out, “May I ask what is it that you’re doing?”
The young woman paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
Upon hearing this the wise man commented, “But young woman do you not realise that there are so many, you can’t possibly make a difference.”
At this the young woman bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, she said,
“I made a difference for that ONE”
