A person travel to Mexico. One day when he had an evening beach stroll, suddenly saw a man in the distance like to dance. Was found near a beach in the indigenous picked up something, and then to forcefully thrown into the sea, and repeat non-stop to pick up things nautical miles behind.

Some went further, he had to see it kept in the handmade jewelry picked up by the tide washed the starfish on the beach, throwing them back to the sea. So he asked out of curiosity indigenous: “friends, I do not understand what you are doing.” The man said: “I am here to throw the starfish back to the sea. You can see that it is low tide, the beach was all of these starfish tide Washed ashore in the past, these starfish will soon die as a result of hypoxia! “” I understand that. But this beach may have thousands of starfish, thousands of you may be able to put them right back to the sea ? Do you know you have done a little ah! “

The indigenous smiled, and continued to pick up a costume jewelry, while throwing on the side, said: “But at least I only changed the fate of the starfish!”

He understood why is it that while there are a lot of good things we can not achieve, but from the start now, perhaps to change everything!
