Power of ONE "ant"

Down here is a picture I took with my Nokia N73 during a walk in the park near TTDI one find afternoon during lunch. It just happen that notice one ant on a branch of a tree. During that time it was only a ant on a branch and there was no big deal except that it look nice to take a picture with, so i did.

But after sometime, this ant image started to give me more then just a fuzzy picture to look at. I start to recall that ants are super efficient and task orientated.

I recall one fine day when I was younger, I was outside and playing on the ground ‘that means a very long time ago’, anyways.... there was this one ant passing in front of me. So just for fun I place my large LEGO toys on the flour and block his path. Guess what happen? He did not turn back, he walk around my LEGO toy.... I block his path again but it did not stop the little fellow. He just keeps finding ways to get to where he wants to go.

Not to far away i notice a army of ants, i stated to get worried coz i did not like to get bitten by ants ‘the effects last for 1 or 2 days’ and its not something i enjoy. But then i recall the color difference, the one i that bite me was red and the army here was black. So i guess they were safe so I stayed on. I did something almost the same to them as the earlier one but this time I surrounded them all with the LEGO toys, HAHAHA!!! This time I know I got all of you!!!! then I ran back to the house to get my toy soldiers coz that time it look like little green man against black alien (ants). But when I got back out, it started to rain, OMG!! My LEGO!!!! I ran out to go take my LEGO and also release the ants but when I got there, something crazy happen. The ants were moving up my LEGO toys and they did it in lines. Cut the long story short, they survived and they did it as a group/team/family.

This tiny little ant, reminded me of people, like you and me. Sometimes in life we get a brick wall or this case a LEGO in out face that stops us from achieving our goal, but we can choice to complain and blame of why this happens or we can choice to find a way “do whatever it takes” to get to where you want to be. Just like the little ant, he just would not let me stop him. “Great attitude”

And event as leaders and champions that we are, we listen and work together so that we have a win-win situation. What do I mean? Well the group of ants could have died but they did not, they made it out alive by working together and supporting each other from the start to finish.

These ants remind me of the wonderful people I work with here in AKLTG, in the office, during the camps, in SCL classes, they all do whatever it takes to make our goals come true. And for that, lets keep moving forward!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!
