Winners 'The Ant Philosophy'

All of us tend to look up to big people for lessons on how to get better. We are keen to learn the secrets of their success. But we forget that sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us.

Winners are learners, they learn at every moment of their life and from all things around, be it big people or small 'Ants'. Winners believe in The Ant Philosophy developed by Jim Rohn.

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 great philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.

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’s important to be realistic. In the summer you've got to think ‘storms’. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

Ants think summer all winter

That’s equally important. During the winter, ants remind themselves… "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And come the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out again the first warm day. Ants can't wait to get out.

And here's the last part of the ant philosophy.

Ants do all that they can

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.

Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

And there's just one more lesson to learn from ants. As we know that an ant can carry objects up to 20 times their own weight? Maybe we are like that too. We can carry burdens on our shoulders and manage workloads that are far, far heavier than we'd imagine.

Winner think on the same line, they think themselves as little ants and remembers that they too can carry a lot more on their shoulders.
