“You must be the change you
wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Ghandi

People sometimes have amazingly large and seemingly
unachievable dreams and goals and I am often asked whether one person really
can make a difference.
I would like to share a story with you from Loren Eisley’s book, “The Star Thrower”. The story goes a little like this:-
A man who had been walking along a beach saw a boy throwing starfish into the ocean in an attempt to save them from the heat of the rising sun. The older man made a comment that, because of the number of starfish, the boy couldn’t possibly make a difference, to which the boy replied as he threw yet another starfish into the ocean and past the breaking waves, “It made a difference to that one.”
By the way, I would thoroughly recommend Eisley’s books. His work has a refreshingly different viewpoint on many of the things we often take for granted.
