The Starfish Story,Original Story 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 back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…”I made a
difference for that one.”
Last saturday night, with my headache, trying to sleep, I've thought about the issue of caring and loving others. There's too many people to care for in this world!! What difference would it be made if I can only care for few people? It might not make a difference to the whole world but it would make a difference for that person that we care for. Show your love and care for people especially your family.. Don't delay or not caring for people just because we thought we can't make a difference to the whole world. We can make a difference by the little things that we do. We reap what we sow.. Sowing takes forever!! But when the fruits of it reaps, you'll find that all the sowing and waiting is worth it... Look forward to the day when your fruits reap. Yup keep dreaming and focus on your dream!!
Make a difference for that ONE not ALL!!
