Like Ants do, Let's Make the Dream Work

As a child, I am always amazed every time I hear somebody else, particularly adults, saying that ants are like superheroes since they have strong power, that they can carry things even if they are ten times heavier than them as if they are super heavy weight lifting champions.

So as I was contemplating a while ago about some lessons I want to share, this idea about the lessons we can learn from ants came to my mind.

Ants can teach us a lot about teamwork, perseverance, and building a strong sense of belonging in our communities. Ants are a great source of inspiration, but the most essential lesson you can learn from them is to not let your circumstances and what you are holding you back hinder you from achieving your full potential.

Observe a troop of ants as they carry a large amount of leaves and grasses in a group. Workplace coordination is flawless; there isn't even a single mistake, and this is all done without the use of any fancy tactics. One of the most lethal killing machines in the world is the result of a team of ants working together. You wouldn't want to be caught when they're on the verge of a rampage.

Nonetheless, it is incorrect to assume that ants are just hard-working without any intelligence or brains. They have an entire hierarchy built in. Workers and soldiers are next, followed by nurses and the Queen Ant. And indeed, it is the Queen who makes the final decision in this case.

I just want to share a scenario from something I have read before. A kid managed to keep an ant imprisoned in a glass container for many hours.

After three hours, that kid decided to call it quits. That same pace was still evident the next day.The kid felt like a royal letting go of a brave enemy captive because of his bravery when he freed it.

What it teaches is that getting in is consistently possible. Insects will always find a way to get in, no matter how hard you try. Keep going, and you will get there. They may be hindered by something, but that wouldn't stop them from persevering. This is such a great thing to learn from them.

In addition, ants are among of the world's greatest constructors. This façade is really a complex network of chambers, from the Queen's room to a network of escape routes in the event of a crisis. It's like a real-life subterranean bunker that any army would be delighted to have.

In a nutshell, the ants can teach us about the values of teamwork, hard labor, and community cohesion or simply the state of sticking together tightly. Ants are a great source of inspiration, and hopefully, the above-mentioned things don't only help you gain new knowledge. But also equipped you with things you will forever cherish.
