A man was walking along a beach littered with thousands of starfish washed ashore after a storm. He saw a young boy picking them up one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man chuckled and said, "There are too many! You can’t possibly make a difference." The boy smiled, picked up another starfish, and gently tossed it back into the waves. Then he replied, "I made a difference for that one." The man stood silently, then started helping the boy. Lesson: No matter how small your actions may seem, they can create a ripple of change. Start where you are, with what you have, and make a difference today.
