One day, an old man was walking along the beach in the early morning and noticed the tide had washed thousands of starfish up on the shore. Up ahead in the distance he spotted a boy who appeared to be gathering up the starfish, and one by one tossing them back into the ocean.
He approached the boy and asked him why he spent so much energy doing what seemed to be a waste of time.
The boy replied, "If these starfish are left out here like this they will bake in the sun, and by this afternoon they will all be dead."
The old man gazed out as far as he could see and responded, "But, there must be hundreds of miles of beach and thousands of starfish. You can't possibly rescue all of them. What difference is throwing a few back going to make anyway?"
The boy then held up the starfish he had in his hand and replied, "It's sure going to make a lot of difference to this one!"
The boy tossed that starfish into the water. He then looked intently at the old man and said "I will save as many as I can".
The old man had no reply. He was really ashamed of his own attitude. He stood speechless for a while. Then slowly he picked up a starfish and threw it into the water, joining the boy in his efforts. The boy gave him a gentle smile and soon both of them were silently tossing one starfish after another into the water.
Soon, the boy and the old man saw that they were not alone. Other people who had come to the beach for a walk noticed them both working diligently to save the starfish. One by one, people started joining in the effort.
As the sun rose higher in the sky, hundreds of people silently worked to save the starfish. Young people, old people, rich people, poor people all joined hands in the noble task.
Amazingly within a couple of hours, the beach was almost clear of starfish. As the last starfish was thrown into the sea, a thunderous cheer spontaneously arose from the people. Each one of them felt they had done something important, something that made a difference. They cheered and hugged each other. Some of them even exchanged names and numbers and promised to stay in touch.
Nothing is impossible if we work together. But someone needs to be bold enough to take the first step. Many other will follow. Even one person's determination and conviction can change the world.
