    A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved all the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and spent much of his time exploring the seashores. One day he learned that there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand. The day of the tide he went down to the beach and began picking up the stranded starfish and started tossing them back in the sea. An elderly man who lived next door came to down to the beach to see what he was doing. “I’m saving the starfish.” The boy proudly declared. When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you young man, but if the look down the beach one way, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look the other way, it’s the same. One boy like you isn’t going to make much of a difference.” The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up a starfish, tossed it back into the ocean and said, “I sure made a difference for that one”

    There are two kinds of people, those that do the work and those that take the credit. Try to be in the first group, there is less competition there.

    Two Questions.

    Question 1:
    If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally reatarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

    Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.

    Question 2:
    It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
    Here are the facts about the three candidates.

    Candidate A:
    Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 Martinis a day.

    Candidate B:
    He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

    Candidate C:
    He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never committed adultery.

    Which of these candidates would be our choice?

    Decide first... No peeking, then scroll down for the response.















    Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
    Candidate B is Winston Chruchill.
    Candidate C is Adolf Hitler.

    And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
    If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.

    Pretty interesting isn't it?
    Makes a person think before judging someone.

    Remember:

    Amateurs... Built the ark.
    Professionals... Built the Titanic.

    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start now and make a brand new ending.

    Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart.

    Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows fall behind you."

    The less we look with our eyes, the more we will see with our hearts.

    Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle.

    I'm not beautiful like you. I'm beautiful like me.

    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.

    Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
