The Ant Philosophy by
Jim Rohn
Over the years I've been teaching
kids 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 think ahead. In the summer, you've got to think
storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.
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 that he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-that-you-possibly-can"
philosophy.
Wow, what a great philosophy to have
- the ant philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you
can.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
