The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn  
An amazing four-part philosophy
Part one: Ants never quit 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. 
Part two Ants think winter all summer You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in, their winter food in the middle  of summer.An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." It is important to be realistic. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead
Part three:
Ants think summer all winterDuring the winter, ants remind
themselves, "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day. They can't wait to get out
Part four: How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. It is the "all-you-possibly-can" ant attitude.
So The Ant Philosophy
Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can

"There are points along the way when you’ve got to get across the entire canyon to the next growth plateau in one jump.  You don’t get two jumps.  But maybe you don’t have to jump at all.  Maybe the tigers on this side aren’t as mean as the lions on the other side.”

From Donna Dickinson
It is generally accepted that this phrase originally began from " G-d is in the Details " first attributed to "Ludwig Mies van der Rohe"
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe The phrase "The devil is in the details" now appears to have more usage in modern life than it's source saying, however. A close kin in meaning could also be 'the man's reach exceeds his grasp"

Since Today is the Start of the Jewish New Year and since Apples are a central part of the ritual of the observance, I though the following would be appropriate to sharre:
APPLE: (Kabbalah explanation)
"Kaballah,among other mystical aspects, is a study of the numerology of the Hebrew alphabet. ( each letter has a corresponding number) The tetragammen or the four letters of the name of G-d in the Hebrew language is Yud Hey Vov Hey...Hey is equivalent to According to Kaballah G-d's signature is in the apple and the apple has special significance to the health and welfare of life.
"When you cut apple in half, so that you are cutting through it horizontally that is separating the top portion that has the stem from the bottom portion where the little flower is. You observe the following in every apple:
There is exactly 5 seeds in each apple
The seeds are surrounded by 10 dots
The flower on the bottom of the apple has five little petals
The stem exactly resembles the shape of the Hebrew letter Vav
This is the case for every single apple no matter what type brand or where it originates from
The signature of G-d's name or the tetragammen then according to kabbalaists is as follows
The stem is the Vov, ( which means hook in Hebrew like sheparads hook_
The five seeds the first letter Hey
The 10 dots surrounding the core the letter Yod
The five petals to the flower on the bottom the second letter Hey
