A Lesson From The Ants

As tiny and annoying as they are, they are creatures who are wise and we will do well to learn a few lessons from their power of organization and discipline; and they take organization to a greater level. The workers, queen, and males all have their job specifications and they achieve a lot through division of labour. There is a structure in place and hence, organization becomes easy to achieve. However, it takes discipline to keep to the status quo. So set your plans and stick to them diligently without giving excuse a chance.

Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” The ants have a unique kind of unselfishness that is just breath-taking. Drop a cube of sugar and watch it closely. When an ant sights the food, it passes the message across, not thinking of its selfish interests but the interest of the colony and one suddenly becomes three; with the number increasing. There is indeed strength in unity. Also learn the power of soldiering on, in the presence of difficulties. Ants are determined and will move around any obstacle in their path to get to where they want to go. The kind of rare determination that is difficult to find. We can learn a thing or two from the ants, while we doggedly pursue our goals without giving up at a sign of difficulty.
