#FoidForThought A wealthy man watched an ant moving across the balcony carrying a big leaf several times its size. The man watched it for more than an hour. He saw that the ant faced many obstacles during its journey, paused, took a diversion and then continued towards its 
destination. At one point the tiny creature came across a crack in the floor. It paused for a little while, analysed and then laid the huge leaf over the crack, walked over the leaf, picked the leaf on the other side then continued on its journey. The man was captivated by the
cleverness of the ant. The incident left the man in awe and forced him to contemplate over the miracle of creation. A while later the man saw that the creature had reached its destination – a tiny hole in the floor which was the entrance to its underground dwelling. And it was at
this point that the ant’s shortcoming was revealed. How could the ant carry into the tiny hole the large leaf that it had managed to carefully bring to the destination? So the tiny creature, after all the painstaking and hard work and exercising great skills, overcoming all the
difficulties along the way, just left behind the large leaf and went home empty-handed. The ant had not thought about the end before it began its challenging journey and in the end the large leaf was nothing more than a burden to it. The man learned a great lesson that day.This
is the truth about our lives too. We worry about our family, our job, how to earn more money, where we should live, what kind of vehicle to buy, what dress to wear, what gadgets to upgrade, only to abandon all these things when we reach our final destination. We don’t realize in
our life’s journey that these are just burdens that we are carrying with utmost care and fear of losing them, only to find at the end, they are useless and we can’t take them with us. Continuing with the story, you’ll enjoy this😇That wealthy man was a bit impatient. Had he
waited a while more, he would have observed something else. The ant vanished inside the hole leaving the large leaf outside. Only to return with 20 more ants who broke up the leaf into tiny pieces and took them all inside.

Isn’t it amazing how much we can learn from

Isn’t it amazing how much we can learn from
even such a tiny creature like an ant? Any other perspective that you could derive?
