The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn
The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn
Over the years I’ve been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept – the ant
philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part
philosophy, and here is the first part: 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, and 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
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 is important to think ahead. In the summer, you’ve got to
think storm. You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so
important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be
out of here.” And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they’ll dive
back down, but then they come out the first warm day. They can’t wait to get out.
And here’s the last part of the ant philosophy. 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.
Wow, what a great philosophy to have – the ant philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay
positive and do all you can.
To Your Success,

Lao Tzu on Leadership
True leaders are hardly known to their followers. Next after them are the leaders that people know and admire, after them those they fear and after them, those they despise.
To give no trust is to get no trust. When the work’s done right with no fuss and boasting ordinary people say oh we did it, we did it ourselves.
A true leader is someone who doesn’t impose his will on those who are to follow, he’s not someone that you fear and not even necessarily someone that you admire,
a true leader is someone that allows each and every person to find the ability within themselves to say :‘oh, we did this ourselves’
Lao Tzu, 6th century BC Chinese Saint, the founder of Taoism

Leadership Lesson from Alexander The Great
Life of Alexander The Great
This long and painful pursuit of Darius – for in 11 days he marched 33 hundred furlongs – harassed his soldiers so that most of them were ready to give it up, chiefly for want of water.
While they were in distress, it happened that some Macedonians who had fetched water in skins upon their mules from a river they had found out came about noon to the place where Alexander was, and seeing him almost choked with thirst, presently filled a helmet and offered it to him …
Then he took the helmet in his hands, and looking round about, when he saw all those who were near him stretching their heads out and looking earnestly after the drink, he returned it again with thanks without tasting a drop of it.
“For,” said he, “if I alone should drink, the rest will be out of heart.”
The soldiers no sooner took notice of his temperance and magnanimity upon the occasion, but they one and all cried out to him to lead them forward boldly, and began whipping on their horses.
For whilst they had such a king they said they defied both weariness and thirst, and looked upon themselves to be little less than immortal.
The Life of Alexander The Great, Plutarch, c A.D. 46-120
(As cited in The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, 1998, Penguin Books)
