The Starfish Story

(How Starfish Resources got its name)

During a sunrise walk, a boy was seen dancing in the waves on the sand. Every now and then, he would bend over, pick up a starfish and toss it into the ocean.

When asked why, he said, "The tide is going out, if I don't throw them in, they will die!"

He was told, "There are so many starfish laying on this huge beach, you can't possibly make a difference."

Bending over, he picked up another starfish and stated, as he threw it into the ocean, "I made a difference for that one!"

This person's actions represent something special in each of us — THE ABILITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

This story is adapted from "The Star Thrower" written by Loren Eiseley (1907-1977)
