Welcome to the Program

One day a man was walking along the beach..

when he noticed, far away, somebody dancing!

Curious to know more, he started walking towards him….

As he approached closer to him…he noticed the man picking something up..

….and gently throwing it into the ocean…

….and then he cheered himself after each throw!

Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf 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 realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfishes?...

You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,

Hurled it up…

And threw it back into the ocean..

Then, smiling at the man, he said “I made a difference for that one.”

Then picked up another one, and said...”I made a difference for that one.”

and he picked up another one…

The wise man reverted, slowly..

And thought…..

The next day…

And then, both of them were dancing on the beach!

Be a STAR and make a difference!
