I love coffee! Especially when it's ice cold and with milk!

Making a difference

I know many people have read this story before, but I wish to share it with those who havent, and hopefully, it will make a difference to your life.

A man was jogging down the beach after a major storm had just come through the area.

He was dismayed by the huge number of starfish that the storm had washed up on the beach.

He thought that there was nothing he could do because of the immense numbers.

As he continued down the beach he saw an old man throw something into the water.

As he got closer, he saw the old man walk a little farther down the beach, bend over, pick up a starfish and throw it back into the water.

As the jogger approached, the old man stopped again, bent over, picked up another starfish and was about to throw it into the water.

The jogger stopped and asked "Why are you doing that? There are thousands of starfish on the beach. You can't possibly make a difference."

The old man looked at the starfish, threw it back into the water, then replied, "I made a difference to that one, didn't I?"

I believe that every single thing we do has an effect on someone else, however small that impact may be. So, even if it's a small deed, just do it, because you never know what difference you can make in someone else's life!!
