MAKE A DIFFERENCE

(1) A gentle man was repeatedly picking up starfish along a beach in Mexico. He was

throwing them into the sea. When asked why he was doing so he said," I am throwing these

starfish back into the ocean because they came in with the high tide and now the tide has

receded,they will due here, stranded.

(2) " But there must be thousands on every beach. You can't possibly make a difference"

asked the another man. The man smiled, lifted another starfish and as he threw it back into

the sea," made a difference into that one."

(3) The story shows that it is not the big things only that really count in life. In fact all

great people built their character by doing small day- to-day good actions. Mahatma Gandhi,

once was standing in the open compartment door of a speeding train. He was lost in his

thoughts when one of his ' chappals' slipped from one of his feet and fell down. The moment

he realized it was gone, he dropped the other one too.

(4) On being asked why he did so, he replied," One chappal is of no use to me, nor to

him who finds the dropped one. So he might as well have the full pair." This incident shows

that nothing was too insignificant for Gandhiji.

(5) Believe firmly that even one person can change the entire world. He may not be able

to do a whole lot physically to change the world, but that person has the power to inspire

and set an example for others which may affect the outcome of any situation.
