Teamwork

I spotted this situation (the above picture) happening in front of my house.
In case you can't see what's really happening...
Let me tell you a glimpse of what is happening...

Someone ( unfortunately, I don't know who is that someone,) dropped a Cherrio cereal while making an exit. When I finished cleaning the filter outside my house, I saw this situation (the above picture) happening. I do know that ants have really good teamwork spirit, but I've never seen that before. There were around 20 of them (or more), really really tiny, coming over to help one another carry the Cherrio cereal back home. They kept coming and coming, willingly, to offer help. I just sat there and watched them do their thing. They were doing a great job. They managed to carry the Cherrio cereal up the wall, but sadly the Cherrio cereal fell, and they all fell of the wall too ( I think they lost their balance :D ).

This is the part where the ants surprised me, and sort of became my inspiration to post this, they didn't get angry, they didn't give up, they didn't take a break, they straight away got back to work and carry the Cherrio cereal up the wall back into their home. I immediately grabbed my camera and took a picture of them, working together to get food for their entire family.

I, somewhat, can relate this whole situation to my life and the sentence that I've got when I was reading Proverbs, 'No matter how many times we may fall, get up and walk again'. Never give up. Keep holding on. Falling down is part of life. And, never be afraid to make mistakes, for you'll never learn (this is what I've learn from Mrs J's). Lastly, if ants could work together so peacefully, we, humas, should be able to work together peacefully too.

Don't sit down and wait for change to come, why not, get up and be the change?
God Bless!
