The Greatest Teacher

THE GREATEST TEACHER
(Pr 30:24-28).

There are things ants will teach you that will boost your success more than your academic qualification will.

The following is the culture in ants colony.

1. THEY ARE QUICK AND ENERGETIC.

They are efficient in work, They are  tireless workers, they are not sluggish with their work. They are fast workers. They work with might, not minding who takes the glory, they start a project and will not rest until its completion,Eccl 9:10. These guys to my knowledge are hustlers. Small as they are they can build a skyscraper, they can pull things bigger than their size. They are adventurous, people with strength bigger than their size.

2. THEY DONT PAY SUPERVISORS

(Prov 6:7). These guys are sold out to their task that there is always something to be done. They don't need wipe or threat to work as it applies to a fool. They dont have to be reminded of their responsibilities this put them above sluggards, who must always be prodded to get anything done. Ants are creatures with inbuilt  conscience from God to work hard. If you are looking for the post of a supervisor this colony is not the right place, everybody is a worker here, they save more and earn more.

3. THEY WORK WITH FORECAST

keeps food in good time enough to sustain them in bad time (Prov 6:8). They store surplus rather than eat it all. In their wisdom, they even bite off the ends of grain kernels to keep them from germinating in storage. They also deny themselves of short term pleasure for long term prosperity.

4. ITS A COLONY OF TRUE BROTHERHOOD.

If one is moving something too large for it alone, others will help him get it where it needs to be. They are not selfish loners. They don't find food for individuals or do they find food for personal consumption, they work for the benefit of all. The success of the colony is the success of all. They don't have personal accounts or foreign accounts where they have reserve. The death of one does not stop them from working, they are so tied to themselves that they don't leave their dead, it must be carried home.

5. THIS COLONY DOES NOT EMPLOY SHORT CUTTERS AND DISCOURAGEMENT.

  Go through their dictionary, and you will find out that discouragement is not in it, When facing difficulties, they try again and again until they are successful. They will go great distances from home in order to find their food. They will get into houses, small holes, sugar can, and just about anything in order to find their food.

Consider the ways of these little people. These are their core values

a. Get busy

b. Do not love sleep (Prov 6:9-11; 20:13).

c. Hard work will do much more than talking (Prov 14:23), (Prov 28:19).

May your life count, in Jesus name. Shalom.
