Inspirational Stories/Quotes on June 5th

First of all, congrats to all the grads!!

But just wanted to share two things that I found when I was wandering in the main stacks...

THE STARFISH STORY

As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a boy ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the boy, he asked why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if let out in the morning sun.

"But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish," said the old man. "How can your effort make any difference?"

The boy looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it safely into the waves.

"It makes a difference to this one," he said.



And this one just reminded me of Coach Mike's former coach.. except this version is the nice version =D

This child whose life
I touch with mine
Is like a piece of clay
I take his gentle will in hand
And shape it day by day.
