Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean
He came closer still and called out "Good morning May I ask what it is that you are doing?
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean".
"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied " The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they will die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented " But , young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along ever mile? You cannot possibly make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said
"It made a difference for that one. "

hej stina! hur är det? vad målade ni för färg i vardagsrummet? jag har bakat kakor idag, önskar att du kunde komma hit och mysa framför tv:n ikväll, me mej o kakorna :) jo, man måste alltid tro att det lilla man gör gör skillnad, annars tappar man ju livslusten.. för även om det inte gör skillnad för nån annan så är det åtminstone bevis på att man själv har ett hopp. och det gör ju skillnad för en själv...att ha hoppet..
