The Starfish Blog

This story's moral is one of the few ones that i really understand. I'm sure the wise man learned from the young man. As he was throwing the starfish to the ocean the young man was probably thinking about life, life that everybody deserves and can get a hand. The moral of this story to me is that it does not matter where you make the change, how or who else will do the same. You're not always going to change everything, but you can start by changing what you can.
This really reminds me of this class, my English class when we met our new English teacher. Mr.Leh, he's first day here thought us a quote "Become the change you want to see in the world" and if you can start by little why not do it. The young man started by putting the starfish back in the water, and it realates to us because we can start by doing everything we can now for our future. Also by thinking who you can help, there's friends that I have right now that are like those starfish out of the ocean, and I might not be able to change them all but you can start by helping little by little. But there's people that won't even try to make the change, because they don't know that by that little change you can do a alot.
The wise man didn't know that by picking up that starfish and throwing it back in the ocean the young man was actually saving a life. It don't matter how little of a change can be, it's still a change and a little change can change your whole life. I bet the young man felt good about himself, not only bacouse he changed the starfish's life but also thought the wise man a lesson. Because the young man didn't wait for the other people around the ocean to put the starfish back in the ocean because why wait if you can make the change yourself and now. For example in education there's people that don't even do their work because their friends decide to just seat there and do nothing, but why wait for them to start doing their work if you can cange that yourself, because after all is your future and your life that is havind the effect.
And the moral of this story has a lot to do with the life we live right now, the earthquake in Hati and Chile is another example. We see other people raising money, collecting cans of food, helping them in one way or another because they decided to make the change and not wait for someone else to sart doing it and I bet they saved many people's life in many different ways. And this things are different and have to do with different things but they all come to the same moral. And is the moral of this story: No matter how little of a change it is, it is still a change and it does not matter where you make the change, how, or who else will do the same. You're not always going to change everything.
