A woman was walking the
A woman was walking the beach after a terrible storm. She noticed a young man ahead of her picking up starfish and throwing them into the surf. When she reached the man, she asked him why he was returning the starfish back into the ocean. She asked, "With millions of starfish on the beach, what difference can you make?"
The young man smiled at the woman, reached down and picked up a starfish. Throwing into the sea he said, "It makes a difference to this one."
