不可小觑的蚂蚁哲学

    Over the years I have been to teach young people a simple concept but very effective － ant philosophy． I think we should learn from ants， because they have an amazing four of philosophy：
    The first： never give up the ants． If they run a place， and you would like to try to stop them， they will find another route． Or climb them， or from the underground drilling， bypass or until they find another route．Part II： ants in the summer for the winter to do next． What a profound insight！ Can not be so naive¹ as to think summer will last forever， so even during the summer， ants are active for their winter food reserves．Part III： ants in the summer thinking about winter． This bit is very important． Throughout the winter， ants have to remind ourselves： "winter does not take too long， we were quickly able to go outside．" Thus， the first day of warming， ants will be out of activities； if the temperature of cooling， they return to hole． Not just to wait， so that ants will always be in the warming of the first day out．Finally， a philosophical² ants： ants in the summer to prepare for how much food this winter? Make every effort to reserve as much as possible food． What is the width of philosophy －best！
    This is the great philosophical ants all： never give up， foresight³， initiative and go all out
多年来我一直给年轻人传授一个简单但非常有效的观念——蚂蚁哲学。我认为大家应该学习蚂蚁，因为它们有令人惊讶的四部哲学：
    第一部：蚂蚁从不放弃。如果它们奔向某个地方，而你想设法阻止它们，它们就会寻找另一条路线。它们或往上爬，或从地下钻，或者绕行，直到它们寻找到另一条路线。
    第二部：蚂蚁在夏天就为冬天作打算。多么深刻的洞察力！不能天真地认为夏天会永远持续下去，所以即使在盛夏，蚂蚁也积极地为自己储备冬天的食物。
    第三部：蚂蚁在冬天里想着夏天。这一点儿很重要。整个冬天，蚂蚁都在提醒自己：“冬天不会持续太久，我们很快就能到外面去。”于是在气温变暖的第一天，蚂蚁就会出去活动；如果气温变冷，它们再返回洞里。不一味地等待，这样蚂蚁永远会在气温变暖的第一天出去。
    蚂蚁哲学的最后一部：蚂蚁在整个夏天会为冬天准备多少食物呢?竭尽全力储备尽可能多的食物。多么令人叹服的哲学——全力以赴！
    这就是伟大的蚂蚁哲学的全部：从不放弃，深谋远虑，积极进取及全力以赴
