Make your Contribution and have Faith

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

Star Fish
As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"

"The sun is up, and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."

This type of situation many times in our lives and of the time we are ignorant and don’t make a difference in the life of the dyeing fish whereas most of the changes in the world have come with a small start. While making the first move forward its difficult to imagine to what altitude it may grow.

The success and growth needs continuous efforts irrespective of praise and criticism by others. Like the Young man in the above story one has to have trust in own deeds. This inspires others to join hands to make a great movement.
Dhirubhai Ambani
He Created Reliance

Reliance is the biggest corporate success of independent India. Its foundation lies in a small trading of polyester yarn. Pantaloon & Big Bazaar is a remarkable success in retail business of India. Can we accept that before 10 years the promoters were in a very trade of weaving and garmenting.

Dhirubhai Ambani and Kishor Biyani had faith in themselves. They were confident that whatever they were doing was correct and kept on putting their best efforts. Their hard work and sincere efforts attracted others and history was created. They knew that they could make a difference to the world.


Last Punch :
It is paradoxical that the person on whom you have the most control is yourself, yet the hardest person to change is yourself.
