引用証嚴法師的靜思法語：為善當及時，為善不能等，行孝不能等。
莫以小善而不爲，別小看自己的力量，你的改變，就是改變世界的開始。加油！！！
A young
girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been
washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she
would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her
with amusement.
She had
been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said,
“Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save
all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl
seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent
down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into
the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied,
“Well, I made a difference to that one!”
The old
man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done
and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back
into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.
