Book excerpt: "The Ants and the Dragonfly" Summary of this story: In a lush, green area, there was a prosperous ant colony that was known for its hard work, intelligence, and complex tunnels. Their most important accomplishment was the Great Food Chamber, which showed how well they had planned for the harsh winter. One sunny day, Dewey, a dragonfly, came to the nest. People liked Dewey's adventurous attitude and how well he flew. Still, he was so carefree that he didn't even think about the future. After seeing how hard the ants worked in the hot sun, he questioned their work and told them they should just enjoy the moment. The wise and calm Ant Queen responded by pointing out how important it is to plan for the future. Dewey didn't fully understand this lesson at the time. As the seasons changed, Dewey kept living his carefree life and enjoying the beauty of the land, while the ants worked nonstop to get ready for winter. When the harsh winter started, Dewey was weak and hungry because he hadn't done anything to get ready. He went to the ants for help when he was desperate, and they were happy to take him into their well-prepared house. Even though Dewey had made fun of the ants' work in the past, the Ant Queen gave him food and a place to live. This shows how the ants feel about helping those in need. Dewey was moved by this surprising kindness and wisdom, and he was thankful for it. During his time with the ants, Dewey heard their stories, saw how they worked together, and understood how important their planning and hard work were. By the time spring came, Dewey had changed. He left the anthill, promising to keep in mind what he had learned. He kept his promise and, like the ants, spent the summer months not only playing but also getting ready for the coming winter. The most important part of this story is how he went from being a carefree dragonfly to a smarter one who knew how to enjoy the present while also planning for the future. The story "The Ants and the Dragonfly" shows how important it is to work hard, think ahead, work together, and care about others. It shows how important it is to live in the present while making plans for the future. It does this by showing us what we can learn from nature's smallest but most intelligent animals. How it all started: Once upon a time, an ant colony was growing in the middle of a beautiful place where nature grew and danced with every breeze. This wasn't just a pile of dirt. It was a great example of the ants' hard work, creativity, and sense of community. It was a place where people were always doing things, and the pace of life kept time with the seasons. The ant colony was a maze of intricately woven tubes and chambers that showed how smart and hardworking the ants were. The ants worked hard day and night to build a beautiful house out of sand grains and small bits of dirt. Every grain was a brick, every tunnel was a road, and every room was a reminder of how hard they worked and how they stuck together. It showed how strong their spirits were as a group and how determined they were to stay alive no matter what. The ant population grew and did well in a green area. Tall trees, with branches that reach up to the sky like nature's arms, provide shade and protection with their branches. The smell of flowers in bloom filled the air, and the sound of leaves rustling was like a lullaby that filled the quiet. The scenery was a colorful mosaic, with the anthill's earthy brown color going well with the green grass. The ant colony was beautiful, but it wasn't an invasive building. Instead, it fits in well with the environment around it. It lived in the earth and sounded like its heartbeat. The ants and the plants got along well because the ants stirred up the earth and helped the plants break down, which was part of the life cycle. Even though they were small, the ants worked hard. Each ant, whether it was a worker, a fighter, or a caretaker, did its part for the colony as a whole. They moved as one, like a beautiful dance of purpose and determination. Each knew its role and worked for the good of the whole. This healthy colony was a sign of how united they were, how strong their spirit was, and how determined they were. The ant colony was a clear example of how strong it is to work together and how powerful it is to be one. Each ant, no matter how small or insignificant it seemed, helped a much bigger goal. They worked together to build an empire, a stronghold that stood up to the forces of nature, a beacon of hope, and a monument to their power and unity. In a way, the busy ant colony, which was in a lush green area full of life, was a miniature version of life itself. It showed how important community is, how strong cooperation is, and how hard work and persistence can be powerful. It was a powerful lesson that even the smallest organisms can build huge structures, get past problems, and live on the big, colorful canvas of life. These ants were just amazing. They weren't like the usual ants you might find in a patch of grass. No, these ants worked hard, were smart, and were so good at building things that other animals were amazed. They were known throughout the area for the tunnels and chambers that they dug into the ground to make a complex network. Other insects and even bigger animals knew them from these tunnels and chambers. These tunnels and rooms did not happen by accident. Instead, they were carefully made by the ants, a sign of how hardworking and smart they were. Each tunnel was built on purpose to make it easy to get around the village and get things done quickly. Like the restrooms, the bedrooms were made with a specific use in mind, whether it was for the queen, the children, or to rest. With their knowledge and hard work, these ants had turned a small mound of dirt into a busy, lively city. The Great Food Chamber, on the other hand, was the best building they ever made. This room wasn't just an anthill; it was a huge vault full of food that had been stored during the warm months. The room was big, and there was enough food for the whole population to eat through the cold winter months, when food was scarce. It was made to keep food fresh and safe from thieves or other dangers. The way the ants got ready for winter was amazing. During the summer, they were always looking for food and would carry loads that were many times their own weight. To get food for their colony, they would journey long distances, get past obstacles, and even face danger. Their dedication to keeping their group alive was amazing, and it showed how much they cared about each other and did what they had to do. The Great Food Chamber was more than just a place to store food; it showed their vision, hard work, and sense of community. It showed that they were aware of nature's changes and could adapt to and get ready for them. Their ability to save food for the winter shows that they are good at planning and can work toward a long-term goal, which sets them apart from many other creatures. Through their hard work, cleverness, and amazing building skills, these ants taught us how important it is to think ahead, plan, and work together. They weren't just any ants; they were unique beings that were small but very wise. Their complex tunnels, rooms, and the Great Food Chamber were proof of how smart and determined they were. This made them a wonder in the animal world, and they were admired and respected everywhere. One sunny day, as the ants went about their work under the sun's good light, a new figure appeared in the sky. The dragonfly, Dewey, flew over their anthill for a moment, throwing a brief shadow on their hard work. Dewey's entrance was just as different as he was. He wasn't just a dragonfly; he was the embodiment of grace and freedom. Dewey was beautiful to look at. His thin body shone in the sun. His wings, which were both delicate and strong, shone like the morning dew. The way the light moved across his shimmering wings made a beautiful dance of colors that made him look like a flying piece of art. Dewey moved with a carefree grace that showed how he felt about life. His flight was more than just a way to get around; it was a show, a dance that showed off how free and agile he was. His athletic acrobatics, quick spins, quick ascents, and soft descents showed that he was not limited to the ground but was a master of the air. But elegance and freedom were not the only things that made Dewey stand out. He was also known for being a free spirit who liked to have fun. While the ants stood for hard work and sticking with something, Dewey stood for happiness and not caring. He flitted from flower to flower, rode on gentle breezes, and played in the warm rays of the sun. He had a charming and contagious sense of humor. Even though he was relaxed, even the ants respected and liked Dewey. Because he was graceful, independent, and happy, he was a popular figure. As he flew above the busy ant colony, he brought with him a sense of wonder and a reflection of how exciting and free life could be outside of the anthill. Dewey, the agile, playful, and free-spirited dragonfly, was a one-of-a-kind character in their shared world. He gave the hard-working ants a splash of color and a breath of fresh air. "Hello, hardworking ants!" Dewey shouted as he fell gently from the blue sky. His voice was loud enough to be heard over the anthill. As he landed on top of the busy anthill, his shiny wings moved gently. The ants stopped what they were doing, and their antennae twitched at the same time to let him know they saw him. "Why work under this hot sun when you could be like me and enjoy the cool breeze?" Dewey asked in a light, funny way. Even though he was kidding, he said things that showed he was really interested. He lived a very easy life compared to the hard work of the ants. The ants stopped what they were doing and looked at the dragonfly, who had the nerve to question what they were doing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man as a creature is superior to other lesser elements of our ecosystem. Superior in wisdom, mannerism, conduct and lifestyle and should of course instruct all nature in terms of leadership and dominion. It becomes amazing however that ALMIGHTY MAN would be asked to stoop so low as to GO TO THE ANT; CONSIDER HER WAYS AND BE WISE... (Proverbs 6:6) This rather imposing statement clearly spotlights the ant as tiny and frail as it is as an unusual agent of wisdom, an embodiment of strength and a master of leadership coordination. Our study of the ant presents some strong lessons to us on the preferred approach to life and judgement of issues in a way that will inspire the much needed change in our own thought process and overall view of life. We will learn from the ant that life is about determination and the will to push through against all odds until we succeed. We will acquire the never give up spirit of the ant, we will cast less blames on our poor states of being, our nation, background and ecology for our present outcomes in life and we will develop a strong determination from within to try again and never retreat or surrender until we win! The Way of the ANT is a book on National Transformation by mindset reengineering. It is a book that will get us to see things from a standpoint of personal responsibility and collective positive delivery towards communual rebirth and social emancipation. We each constitute a tiny part of our larger society and each individual must endeavour to play his/her role and well enough to create the appropriate societal linkage that will eventually constitute grounds for national growth and global enhancement. We are important! We must create value! We should not just exist, but rather live in such a way that our own endpoints in life will stir up sufficient motivation in the man next door to effectively champion his own course to natural excellence. This is the way of the ant!

Book excerpt: Ants have long been regarded as the most interesting of the social insects. With their queens and celibate workers, these intriguing creatures have captured the imaginations of scientists and children alike for generations. Yet until now, no one had studied intensely the life cycle of the ant colony as a whole. An ant colony has a life cycle of about fifteen years--it is born, matures, and dies. But the individual ants that inhabit the colony live only one year. So how does this system of tunnels and caves in the dirt become so much more than the sum of its parts?Leading ant researcher Deborah Gordon takes the reader to the Arizona desert to explore this question. The answer involves the emerging insights of the new science of complexity, and contributes to understanding the evolution of life itself.

Pull up the anchors, take the wheel and set sail, we begin this journey, as our "true self" prevails; questioning "what makes us come alive", we find these 7C´s rhythms give us more than ´peace of mind´. We´ll follow the stars to grasp our bearings, Identify our emotions from ´just´ caring to sharing; we´ll choose to be mindful and map out our thoughts, steering clear of the ´sharks´ encircling what´s sought. We dig for the treasure and connection to our ´tribe´, and identify our chakras, or energetic vibe; we´ve created a compass to find destiny´s port, complete in community of like-minded sorts. The journey is stormy, the destination unclear, until we remember "there is nothing to FEAR"... Come sail with me, you are not alone! We´ll sail together, and reap what we´ve sown... T.K.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett’s spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human—including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world’s most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception. • Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity • Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics • Some ants have evolved from hunter-gatherers into farmers, domesticating other insects and growing crops for food

Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
