"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, and 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."
-- The Ant Philosophy, by Jim Rohn
Whether you’re running an eight-person parks and recreation publishing company or an eight-person parks and recreation department, Jim Rohn’s Ant Philosophy is as apt a description of how we do what we do as any I’ve encountered.
