Small Action is Greater than the Noblest Intention
There was once a person, who was walking on the sea beach. He saw another person walking far ahead of him. He was picking up something from the ground and throwing it into the water. The man quickly moved closer to that person and noticed that he was picking up starfish that had been washed onto the beach and was throwing them back into the water. Astonished, he asked, ‘why are you throwing these fish back into the water?’ The man answered with a smile, ‘Otherwise they will all die lying here on the beach.’ The man asked, ‘But there are thousands of these fish lying on this beach, do you think it will matter?’ The other person picked up a fish and throwing it back into the sea said, ‘It will matter to this one.’
Note: The moral of the story is that it does not matter how much you do or for how many, so long as you do something for someone who needs it. And that is what matters.
