The Ant
Philosophy has been invented and contributed by the Great Motivational Guru, Jim Rohn. Our
gratitude to him for formulating such an amazing philosophy and I am honoured
to share it here.
Secret of success
Obtain the attitude of an ant !
All of us have
a tendency to look up to successful personalities for lessons on how to improve.
We are eager to discover the secrets of their achievement. But we overlook sometimes,
that few major lessons in our life appear from the negligible individuals
around us. Now that’s a excellent message to remember!
Take ants
for instance. Would you believe those small creatures can teach us how to live
a better life? Jim Rohn identified four key lessons from the behaviour of ants
that can help us lead better lives. Here then, are the four lessons from Rohn’s
‘Ants Philosophy’.
1. Ants never quit.
Have you
noticed how ants always look for a way around an obstruction ? Put your finger
in an ant’s path and it will try and go around it, or over it. It will keep
looking for a way out. It won’t just stand there and stare. It won’t give up
and go back.
We should
all learn to be like that. There will always be obstacles in our lives. The
challenge is to keep trying, keep looking for alternative routes to get to our
goals. Winston Churchill probably paraphrased the ant’s approach when he
offered this invaluable guidance: “Never give up. Never, never give up!”
2. Ants think winter all summer.
Remember
the old story of the ant and the grasshopper? In the middle of summer, the ant
was busy gathering food for the winter ahead, while the grasshopper was out enjoying
his life. Ants know that summer won’t be
there everlastingly. Winters will be coming soon which are the hard days.
When everything is going good
in a composed manner, don't be so thoughtless to believe that a misfortune won't
hit you. Be good to others. Save for a hard day, yet to come. Look ahead. And
remember, good times may not last, but good people do.
3. Ants think summer all winter.
As they endure
through the agonizing chilly winter, ants keep reminding themselves that this
hardship won't last ever and the good times or the summer will be coming soon. And
when the first rays of the sun hit the earth, they come out ready to work and
ready to play
When we
are dull and apparently elsewhere, when we are go suffering an immeasurable
crisis, we should ne reminding ourselves that this too shall go by. Maintain a
positive attitude and wait for the good times that would knock your door soon. As
the old saying goes 'Tough times don’t last. Tough people do'.
4. Ants do all they possibly can.
How much
food does an ant gather in summer? All that it possibly can! Now that’s a great
work ethic to have. Do all you can! One ant doesn’t worry about how much food
another ant is collecting. It does not sit back and wonder why it should have
to work so hard. Nor does it complain about the poor pay! Ants just do their
bit. They gather all the food they can.
Success
and happiness are usually the result of giving 100% - doing all you possibly
can. If you look around you, you’ll find that successful people are those who
just do all they possibly can.
Follow the
four simple steps of Jim Rohn’s ‘Ant Philosophy’ – and you’ll see the
difference.
<< Don’t quit >> << Look ahead >>
<< Stay positive >> << And do all you can >>
<< Stay positive >> << And do all you can >>
And
there’s just one more lesson to learn from ants. Did you 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. Next time something’s bothering you and weighing you
down, and you feel you just can’t carry on, don’t fret. Think of the little
ant. And remember, you too can carry a lot more on your shoulders!
