A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young girl in the distance. As he drew nearer he noticed that the girl kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water. Time and again she kept hurling things into the ocean.As the man approached even closer he was able to see that the girl was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time, she was throwing them back into the water.
The man asked the girl what she was doing.
The she replied:"I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they would die through lack of oxygen."
"But", said the man, "You can't possibly save them all. There are thousands on this beach and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can't possibly make a difference."
The girl smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish. As she threw it back into the sea, she replied:
"I made a huge difference to that one!"
