the starfish story
An old man saw a young boy picking up starsfish on the beach and throwing them into the sea. After he caught up with the boy, he asked him why is he doing this. The young boy answered, "When the sun comes up, these starfishes will dry and die on the beach." "But there are millions of starfishes and the beach goes on for miles! How can your effort make a difference?" said the old man. Looking at the starfish on his hands, the boy threw it safely into the waves and said, "It makes a difference to this one."
- why the boy has more sense than an old man? -
