The Starfish Story (Redux)

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.......

Sounds familiar ??? Of course it does, it's MOE's propaganda to attract more people to the teaching profession. Hehehehe, we all know the answer to the above, the boy tells the old man that if the starfish was left in the morning sun, it would die. The old man would then ask again, saying that there are millions of starfish, how can his (the boy's) effort make any difference....

Of course, the boy would then look at the starfish in his hand, throw it into the sea, and tell the old man "It makes a difference to this one"....... OKOK... Cut cut cut.....

Now for moi question.... what if the starfish that the boy threw into the sea, came back to the shore again, and again, and again.... Would it be fair to the other starfishes if the boy continued to focus all this efforts into throwing that particular starfish into the sea??

Answers, or rather, my views in the next post.
