The website Earth Easy has an article about ants titled “Life Lessons We Can Learn From Ants ”. Why ants for this week’s happy thought? Because they’re so tiny, yet they work together to accomplish huge tasks. “According to Deborah Gordon, an ecologist with Stanford University, the ant colony has a decentralized structure. There are no set rules and no one gives the orders. There is a queen but only in the sense that she lays eggs and is the nurturer of the colony. She gives no commands. Can you imagine existing in a society where no one has to run the show because the respect for each other working towards a common goal is enough to make it work?”
