Over the years I’ve been teaching the( Britain)kids about a simple but powerful concept— the ant philosophy(哲 学 ) , an
( amaze)four-part philosophy.
First, ants never quit. If they’re heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, or they’ll climb around. They never quit( look) for a way to get where they
( suppose )to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making
( prepare)for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in summer ; think about rocks
you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, they remind
,“ This won’ t last long and we’ll soon be out of here. ”On the first warm day, the ants are out. If it
( turn)cold again, they’ll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it
( possible) can.
you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
