Starfish Story - A difference a day.






One Day, A man was walking along the beach.

When he noticed a figure in the distance.

As he got closer,
He realized the figure was that of 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 a starfish into the ocean"

"Soon the sun is up and the tide is going down"

"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 hundred of starfish?"

"You can't possibly make a difference!"

After listening politely,

the boy bent down,

picked up another starfish,

and threw it into the surf.

Then, smiling at the man,

he said,



"I made a difference for that one"


A simple act of kindness.
can make a difference.


Whoever you are,
Wherever you are,
You can make a Difference. 

To your Families,
To your Friends,
Even to Unfamiliar Faces.

Sometimes, 
We feel that we are insignificant like the little boy....

Yet, 
Just like the little boy who picked up a starfish,
the simple act of kindness made a whole lot of difference to the starfish.

When you make a little smile to another person,
be it your Family,
Friends, 
or Strangers you meet,
you made a great difference to them.

A simple little action can make a big difference to someone you care about.

Saving a starfish is the metaphor of this little action.

Let's make a difference now.

From today onwards.
