這個可不是我說的,是美國著名的成功學大師Rohn(去年剛去世,你可以Google以下他的名字)說的。雖然他不在了,但他的公司仍然繼續運作,每周仍
然定期發布E-材料。Rohn要我們學習螞蟻的以下幾種精神:
1:永不退卻,當然是你看清了目標以後;
2:夏天為冬天作準備(我家門前地磚下有一窩螞蟻,夏天怎麼都趕不走它們,入冬以來都躲在家裡享清福,到現在也沒見蹤影,當然是靠去年夏天的勞作了。)
3:冬天想著夏天:冬天一定能過去,對未來充滿信心。這一點特別送給目前拿EI(失業金)的、剛畢業尚未找到工作、以及因各種原因目前不順利的朋友們:春
天要來了,春天一定會來的,養好身體,鉚足勁,麵包會有的!
4:盡最大努力,作你力所能及的事情。儘力了,也就沒有什麼遺憾了,不要為過去的事後悔,把眼前的事儘力做好。
請欣賞Rohn的原作:
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.
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 gather 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 he possibly can. What an incredible
philosophy, the 「all-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.
