A noble mission

One hot day, a man was strolling along the seashore when he saw a young boy doing something odd in the distance. The boy would repeatedly bend to pick something up from the sand and throw it with all his might into the sea. When the man neared the boy, he realized that there were little starfish all around them on the beach. Under the blazzing sun, the starfish were obviously dying. The boy's noble mission was impressive, but there were simply too many starfish. The man said to this boy. `Son, you cannot posible save all of them.' The boy held up a starfish, tossed it into the sea and said, `But at least I could save this one.'

The boy's innocence reminds us that if your efforts can benefit at least one person, the your efforts are worthwhile.

Something for sharing.
