The Ant Phiolsophy

 Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple but powerful  concept - the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants.

They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part:  ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere  and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way.

They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They  keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit  looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.

Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective.  You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are  gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.

An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the  summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to be  realistic. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think  rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all  winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves,  "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And the first warm  day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down,  but then they come out the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.

And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant  gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can.  What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.

Wow, what a great seminar to attend - the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
