LEARNING FROM ANTS

Ants never quit
If they are headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they will look for another way. They will climb over, they will climb under, they will climb around. They keep looking for another way.
Lesson: To never quit looking for a way to get where you aresupposed to go.



Ants think winter all summer
You cannot be so naïve as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering their winter food in the middle of summer. You have got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.
LESSON: It is important to be realistic. Think ahead.



Ants think summer all winter
During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This will not last long ; we will soon be out of here." At the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they will dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day.
LESSON: Stay positive at all times.




All-That-You-Possibly-Can
How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that he possibly can.
LESSON: Do all you can and more!
