Ants never quit. Have you noticed how ants always looks for a way around an obstacle? Put your finger in an ant’s path and it will keep looking for a way out. It will just stand there and stare. I won’t give up and go back.
We should all learn to be like that. There will always be obstacle in our lives. The challenge is to keep trying. Keep looking for alternative routes to get to our goals.
Winston Churchill probably paraphrased the ant’s mindset when he offered this priceless advice. Never give up. Never give up.
Ants think winter all summer. In the middle of summer, the ant was busy gartering fool for the winter ahead. Ants know that summer, the good times won’t last forever. When the going is good, do not be so arrogant as to believe that a setback cannot happen to you. Be good to other people. Save for rainy day. Look ahead and remember, good time many not last, but good people do.
Ants think summer all winter. As they suffer through the unbearable cold of the winter, ants keep reminding themselves that it won’t last forever and that summer will soon be here. And with the first rays of the summer sun, the ants come out, read to work, ready to play. When we are down and seemingly out, when we go through what looks like a never ending crisis. It is good to remind ourselves that this too shall pass. Good times will come. It is important to retain a positive attitude, an attitude that says things will get better. As the old saying, tough times do not last. Tough people do.
Ants do all they possibly can. How much food does an ant gather in summer? All that if possible, now that is a great ethic to have. Do all you can? Ant does not worry about how much food another ant is Collecting. It does not sit back and wonder why it should have to work so hard. Nor does it complain about the poor pay. Ants just do their bit. They gather all the food they can. Success and happiness are usually the result of giving 100 percent doing all you possible can. If you look around you, you will find that successful people are those who just do all they possible can.
Do not quit. Look ahead. Study positive and do all you can. This is just one more lesson to learn from ants.
Did you know that, an ant can carry objects up to 20 times their own weight? May be we are like that too. We can carry burdens on own shoulders and manage workloads that are far, for heavier that we had imagine. Next time something bothering you and weighting you down and you feel you just cannot carry on, don’t fret. Think about ant. You could carry on a lot more than shoulder.
