Introduction In a world filled with challenges and setbacks, the quest for resilience has become paramount. Resilience is more than just overcoming hardship; it's about flourishing in the midst of it. And when it comes to resilience, few cultures embody it as profoundly as the Finns, who have a word for this indomitable spirit: Sisu. Sisu, pronounced "see-soo," is a unique Finnish concept that encapsulates grit, determination, and courage in the face of adversity. It's an intrinsic quality deeply embedded in the Finnish psyche, influencing how they approach life's challenges. But what exactly is Sisu, and how can we incorporate this powerful mindset into our own lives? At its core, Sisu is about perseverance in the face of extreme adversity. It's the ability to summon inner strength and tenacity when confronted with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. While resilience is a universal trait found in every culture, Sisu has distinct characteristics that set it ap
Introduction:
Ants are popularly known to be the most laborious creatures known to human beings. We all have heard several hard work and commitment stories of Ants from our elders or have read them in comics or various storybooks. Jim Rohn has given ‘The Ant Philosophy’ wherein he talks about the Ant’s 4 step process to success. It’s a simple yet powerful philosophy and can be followed in our daily lives.4 steps of Jim Rohn’s ‘The Ant Philosophy that lead to success:
1. Ants never quit.According to Jim Rohn, the first step of the process to achieve success given in ‘The Ant Philosophy’ is to Never Give Up. Ants do not quit. If they are heading in some direction towards something, they won’t stop and find another way if you try to stop them. They’ll try to move to the sides, climb over or go under, etc., to find a way. They never quit looking for a way to get to the place where they want to go. Even if you squish an anthill, they build it again, no matter how many times you do that.
2. Ants think winter all summer.
Ant’s perspective towards the future is very important. They aren’t so naive to think that the summer will last forever. In ‘The Ant Philosophy’, Jim Rohn mentioned that the ants start gathering their food for the winters in the middle of summer. In life, it’s really important to be realistic. One should always think ahead.
3. Ants think summer all winter.
In the opinion of Jim Rohn, the Ants have a futuristic approach in their life. The Ant Philosophy talks about this important step of the process to success wherein during the winter, the ants keep reminding themselves that, these winters won’t last long and soon they’ll be out of their holes. The Ants come out of their holes where they stayed in the winters on the first warm day. They dive back down if it turns cold again, but then they come out as soon as the first warm day arrives.
4. Ants think “all-you-possibly-can.”
According to Jim Rohn’s ‘The Ant Philosophy’, the Ants think of collecting as much food as they can. They don’t have any fixed quota or a fixed limit as to the amount of food that needs to be collected. They collect ‘all they possibly can’. They don’t have any “good enough” philosophies. And hence they don’t head back to the hole to hang out after collecting a certain amount of food. If they can do more, they do it.
Ants are amazing creatures with the ability to lift things that are 20 times heavier than their body weight, running as fast as a racehorse, etc. They have two stomachs out of which, one is to hold food for themselves and one is to share with others. They leave a trail of scent whenever they find a good source of food for the other ants in the colony to find it.
The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn can be followed in our everyday lives. We tend to admire great people and try to learn their secrets of success. But in that pursuit, we always forget that the biggest lessons of our lives come from very small things around us.
Jim Rohn keenly observed the behavior of ants and then gave the four key lessons of ‘The Ant Philosophy’ that can help us to improve ourselves and lead better lives.
