The star fish story

Many people think that very little things won’t make a difference, just like the young man that was throwing star fish in the ocean to save their lives. He wasn’t going to be able to save all of them but he was going to make a difference by saving 100 or 2, he was saving that one star fish.

I believe the moral teaching of this story was to show us that you can do very little things to make a difference and even if you don’t finish it, you are still making the difference. You may be the only one is the world or the state that might be saving an animals or starfishes lives. You might be that one in a million that is helping the world to make a difference.

“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision (Rand, Ayn)”. To me this young man wanted to make a new road, he wanted to save star fish. It was like a vision he had. Maybe he loved star fish and wanted to see them for the rest of his life. Just throwing those couple of star fish he was going to be able to see them forever.

“The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die." We should all start trying to make a difference it only takes picking up one star fish and throwing it in the ocean before it dies.
