It's the little things that make a big difference.

There was a man taking a morning walk on the beach. 
He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. 


The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. 
He did this repeatedly. 
Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked,
 "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" 
The man took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, 
"It makes a difference to this one!"

What difference are YOU making? Big or small, it doesn't matter. If everyone made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference!
