Before this post goes any further, I believe an opening is in order.
I hereby declare this blog open and fully functional, at 0512 hours on the August 16th 2008.
Just had to do that. Haha. As only few of you may already know, this is not exactly my first blog but rather the very first that I have decided to put effort in and actually intend to make it running for a long term. The last I posted in my old blog was actually about 2 to 3 years ago. To commemorate the times I spent on that blog back then, in times renewed, I shall bring back a post of a story I brought up that gives a very strong message to all. Enjoy.
The DifferenceAs an old man strolled down the beach at dawn, he noticed a boy ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the boy, he asked why was he doing this. The boy answered that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. So the old man said,"But my boy, the beach goes on for miles and miles and the are millions of starfish," the old man said,"How can your effort make a difference?"The boy looked at the starfish in his hand for a moment and then threw it safely into the waves."It makes a difference to this one," he said.Labels: stories
