This is how we should teach the kids about a simple but powerful concept: the Ant Philosophy. Everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy.
First, 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. 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 trusting as to think summer will last forever. So ants gather their winter food in the middle of summer.
Third, ants think summer all winter. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” And at the first warm day, the ants are out.

Fourth. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can.
Wow, the ant philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
