Story of the Day - Ant's 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 in 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!

1) Never Give Up
2) Look Ahead
3) Stay Positive
4) Do All You Can
