THE ANT PHILOSOPHY

(inspiration) 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, 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 be realistic. In the summer, you’ve got to think storm. You’ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

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 seminar to attend – the ant seminar.
Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Questions
A father and son went fishing one day. While they were out in the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him.

* He asked his father,”How does this boat float?
* The father replied, “Don’t rightly know son.”
* A little later, the boy looked at his father and asked, “How do fish breath
underwater?”
* Once again the father replied, “Don’t rightly know son.”
* A little later the boy asked his father,”Why is the sky blue?”
* Again, the father replied. “Don’t rightly know son.”
* Finally, the boy asked his father, “Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?”
* The father replied, “Of course not, you don’t ask questions, you never learn nothin’.”

Traffic Stop
Late one Friday night the policeman spotted a man driving very erratically through the streets of Dublin. They pulled the man over and asked him if he had been drinking that evening.

* “Aye, so I have. ‘Tis Friday, you know, so me and the lads stopped by the pub where I
had six or seven pints. And then there was something called “Happy Hour” and they served these mar-gar-itos which are quite good. I had four or five o’ those. Then I had to
drive me friend Mike home and O’ course I had to go in for a couple of Guiness; couldn’t be rude, ye know. Then I stopped on the way home to get another bottle for later.” The man fumbled around in his coat until he located his bottle of whiskey, which he held up for inspection.
* The officer sighed, and said, “Sir, I’m afraid I’ll need you to step out of the car
and take a breathalyzer test.”
* Indignantly, the man said, “Why? Don’t ye believe me?!”

Having problems in mathematics
A ten year old boy was failing math. His parents tried everything from tutors to hypnosis, but to no avail. Finally, at the insistence of a family friend, they decided to enroll their son in a private Catholic school.

After the first day, the boy’s parents were surprised when he walked in after school with a stern, focused and very determined expression on his face, and went right past them straight to his room, where he quietly closed the door.

For nearly two hours he toiled away in his room; with math books strewn about his desk and the surrounding floor. He emerged long enough to eat, and after quickly cleaning his plate, went straight back to his room,closed the door, and worked feverishly at his studies until bedtime.

This pattern continued ceaselessly until it was time for the first quarter report
card. The boy walked in with his report card-unopened-laid it on the dinner table
and went straight to his room. Cautiously,his mother opened it and to her amazement,she saw a bright red “A” under the subject of MATH.

Overjoyed, she and her husband rushed into their son’s room, thrilled at his remarkable
progress.

* “Was it the nuns that did it?”,the father asked.
* The boy only shook his head and said, “No.”
* “Was it the one-on-one tutoring? The peer mentoring?”
* “No.”
* “The textbooks? The teachers? The curriculum?”
* “Nope,” said the son. “On that first day,when I walked in the front door and saw that
guy they nailed to the ‘plus sign,’ I just knew they meant business!”

Stolen Towels
When Sam returned to the house one evening, his wife Sarah announced that the new cleaning woman they had hired had stolen two towels.

“Yeah,” said Sam very disinterested, and reclining on the sofa, “that wasn’t very nice of her to do.”

“You’re darn right it wasn’t,” Sarah said. “And they were the two best towels we had… the ones we got from the Hilton Hotel while we were on vacation.”

A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door, as he always is, to shake hands.

He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.
The Pastor said to him, “You need to join the Army of the Lord!”
My friend replied, “I’m already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.”
Pastor questioned, “How come I don’t see you except at Christmas and Easter?”
He whispered back, “I’m in the secret service.”

The Gorilla and the Gay Man
Two gay gentlemen were walking through a zoo. They came across the gorillas and after a while they noticed that the male gorilla had a massive erection. This fascinated the gay men so much they couldn’t take their eyes off of it.

One of the men just couldn’t bear it any longer and he reached into the cage to touch it. The gorilla grabbed him, dragged him into the cage, mounted the man, and had his way with him for an hour nonstop. When he was done, the gorilla threw the man back out of the cage.

An ambulance was called and the man was taken away to the hospital.
A week later his friend visited him in the hospital and asked, “Are you hurt?”

“AM I HURT?” he shouted, “Wouldn’t you be?
He hasn’t called, he hasn’t written…”

Mile High Club
Two voices, male and female, obviously on a plane. “I think everyone’s asleep, lets go.” Sound of steps.

“This one’s empty…no one’s looking…you go in first.”
“It a bit cramped; let me sit down.”
“Have you got the condom? Quick put it on.”
…Sniff sniff
“Ah perfume, you think of everything.”
“This is great…” (long sigh)

Static on the loud speaker then a new voice.
“This is the captain speaking, to those two people in the rear toilet. We know what you’re doing, and it is expressly forbidden by airline regulations…
Now put those cigarettes out and take the condom off the smoke detector!”
