Are you familiar with the "Starfish Story"?
.
IF you are, you can skip straight to the moral of the story.
.
But if you're not, here's a quick account:
An oldish writer habitually walked along a beach at dawn before sitting down to write.
.
One morning, in the distance he saw the silhouette of a young person who looked like he was dancing, but as the old gent got closer he could see that the young man was actually hurling "starfish" into the ocean. The beach was line with thousands of them. They seemed to have been washed up and would almost certainly dry up when the sun rose if they didn't return to the water.
.
"Young man, can't you see that there are far too many starfish and that you're not going to make a difference?" the older gentleman asked.
.
Hurling yet another one far into the sea, the young man replied,
.
"I made a difference to THAT one
!"
