A man was walking down the beach one day. A high tide had beached hundreds if not thousands of starfish. Now the tide was going out, the starfish were slowly dying on the drying sand. The man would walk, then stop, bend down, pick up a starfish and throw it back in the sea.
Another man walking saw this. He spoke to the first man, saying “why are you bothering? Look at all the starfish on this beach. You can’t possibly make a difference to all of them”.
The man smiled as he bent down, picked up another and threw it back into the sea.
“It made a difference to that one”, he said.

Wow, that really hit home. This is exactly how I feel about my job... more so for the union related stuff than general customer service. Good post.
