A Story from the Chofetz Chayim

A Rabbi came to a town and drank the water and saw that it was very sandy.  He asked someone why the water was so bad and they said "what can you do, this is the way it is."  He made a rule that no one could use the water without boiling it first.

The Rabbi was passing by the town and he saw a big fire, and he asked someone, "why don't you put some water on the fire?"  They told him, "we are waiting for it to boil".

The Chofetz Chayim said that when it is an emergency we use whatever we have.  He said that in these times everyone has to do what they can to be Mekarev other Jews, even if we think that we are not good enough.

from the Shiur by Rabbi Orlofsky (lots of fun to listen to and extremely inspiring)

As an aside, I have often heard that BINGE stands for  But I'm Not Good Enough..  We are all good enough, Hashem created us and we can all acomplish a lot in our lives.
