Just like the Mayonnaise Jar of Life, I'm sure many of you have heard the inspiring Starfish Story. It gives the message that even though you may feel small and insignificant in this world, you do make a difference to those around you.

Check out this touching video based on the story.

Here's the original story written by Loren Eisley:

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Son,” the man said, “Don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, "I made a difference for that one.”
