The Ant Philosophy

1st Part Philosophy

ANTS NEVER QUIT

• 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, they’ll climb around


• They keep looking for another way

LESSON:
To never quit looking for a way to get where you’re supposed to go.

2nd Part Philosophy

ANTS THINK WINTER ALL SUMMER

• You can’t be so naïve as to think summer will last forever


• So ants are gathering their winter food in the middle of summer


• You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun

LESSON: It is important to be realistic. Think ahead.

3rd Part Philosophy

ANTS THINK SUMMER ALL WINTER

• During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.”


• At 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.

LESSON: Stay positive at all times.

4th Part Philosophy

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!
