Jim Rohn's Ant philosophy

Have you ever heard Jim Rohn's Ant philosophy?
Jim Rohn thinks everybody should study ants because they have a simple yet powerful life philosophy. It has four parts;
  1. Ants never quit.
  2. Ants think "winter" all summer.
  3. Ants think "summer" all winter.
  4. Ants gather "all that they can" during summer.
Let me explain the steps in detail.
Ants never quit. If an ant is heading somewhere they will get there. If you try to put obsticles in their way they stop, look, and think for half a second, after which they have found a way to either go over, under, or around the obstacle. Whatever the obstacle they will try to find another way past, and they will keep looking until they have found it. So you should also never quit looking for a way to get where your are supposed to go.
Ants think "winter" all summer. Summer will not last forever. Ant spend their summers gathering food for the winter and building their house that will keep them safe during the cold winter. So must you prepare for hard times. Look at all the companies that have gone under in the financial crisis. Had they thought "winter" during the good times, they would have had capital that would have kept them safe from the financial "winter". Don't forget the winter.
Ants think "summer" all winter. Winter will not last forever. Ants keeps telling themselves "This hard time will not last forever". When summer comes they will be out as soon as they can. They can't wait to get out. You will have hard times when you are low on energy and everything seems to go against you. Then it is important to realize that there will be better days ahead. Think positively! Make that winter go away!
Ants gather food during the summer to prepare for the winter. And they are gathering all that they possibly can. They do their best. The best they possibly can achieve. When you do your best it is always good enough! Always strive to do your best and you will NOT fail in life!
Kt, to summarize this we can conclude "Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can." I live by this, so should you!
