Once upon a time there was a wise man that 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 he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish(星鱼) in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”

“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish, and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

There is something very special in every one of us. We all have the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that talent, we will get the power to create the future through the strength of our visions(远见) .

We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

After the First World War, a small group of soldiers left the army and returned to their hometown in France. Most of them lived well, but one of them was poor. His name was Lebeau.

Once a year they had supper together in Barton's house. Barton was a rich man.

One evening Barton showed his friends a large gold coin at the supper table. The coin was passed around and praised by everyone there. At the same time they were talking and laughing. They soon forgot the coin. After supper, Barton asked for the coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost.

One of the men said that everyone must be searched. One by one they turned out their pockets. Only Lebeau refused. “I didn't steal the coin,” he said, “and I will not be searched.” After that, people turned their heads away from Lebeau when they met him. He grew poorer and poorer. Soon his wife died.
