I was at a book store last nite and a small poster caught my attention; found that it point straight to the heart, google a bit a while a go and found that it is an advertising short story; so just copied it and share with bro & sis if you have not come across this story.

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noted a figure in the distance. As he got closer, he realized the figure was that of a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?"

The youth replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die."

"Son" the man said, "don't you know there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't possibly make a difference!"

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the surf. Then smiling at the man he said, "I made a difference for that one."


Given a choice, who would you want to be, the Starfish, the Man or the Boy?
