Saving Starfish

A man was walking on the beach saw that it was littered with thousands of starfish. A little boy was picking up the starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean. He asked the boy, "What are you doing?" The boy replied, "I'm throwing starfish back into the water. If I leave them here they'll dry up and die." The man said, "But look how many starfish there are. What you're doing can't possibly make a difference." As the boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean he said, "Well, it makes a difference to this one!"

In the face of certain unmotivated students who seem to not bother whether they pass or fail, perhaps saving one starfish at a time is good enough. God helps those who help themselves. Who's going to help those who help others? I believe that I have the passion to want to educate the young. Please do not prove me wrong...

That story's been around for too long. I automatically go into "bored-mode" when I see it. SATAY IS MORE INTERESTING!!!!!
