As he got closer he called out,“Good morning！What are you doing?” The young man paused,looked up and replied,"Throwing starfish in the ocean. "I guess I should have asked,why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" "The sun is up and tide is going out.And if I don't throw them in they will die."

The young man listened politely.Then he bent down,picked another starfish and threw it into the sea,past the breaking waves and said,"It made a difference for that one. There is something very special in each and every one of us.We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference.And if we can become aware of that gift,we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.
