SEA STARS!

One day after a high tide lots of sea-stars were brought to the shore. They started drying up in the sun. A boy, walking down the shore started throwing the sea-stars into the sea, so that they could continue their lives.
A person came up to him and asked:
– Why are you doing this? Look around! There are millions of sea-stars; the shore is covered with them. Your attempts won’t change anything!
The boy picked up the following sea-star, thought for a moment, threw it into the sea and said:
– No, my attempt will change a lot…for this one sea-star!

Gratefulness leads always to gracefulness!

It is not happiness that makes us grateful, it's gratefulness that makes us happy. Many people would say, well, that's very easy - when you're happy, you're grateful. But think again - is it really the happy people that are grateful? We all know quite a number of people who have everything that it would take to be happy and they're not happy because they want something else or they want more of the same.
And we all know people who have lots of misfortunes and they are deeply happy, they radiate happiness. You're surprised. Why? Because they're grateful.
GRATEFULNESS LEADS ALWAYS TO GRACEFULNESS!
