Who Do You Want To Be - The Ant or The Grasshopper?
VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION – Who do you want to be – The ant or the grasshopper? Some of you may know of a famous writer called Aesop or Aesop’s Fables. He wrote a very famous one, life-changing Fable, where one day in the spring you have an ant out there doing a lot of work preparing for a harsh winter coming up.
His grasshopper friend is out there playing the fiddle, just relaxing, enjoying himself. And the ant turns around and tells the grasshopper, man, you should be getting ready for the harsh winter that’s coming up.
Grasshopper says, I got enough time. I’m just going to relax and go back and just play my fiddle. As a result of this, the grasshopper never did prepare for the harsh winter. So the grasshopper goes to
Knocks on the ant’s door. He’s shivering. Say, hey, I need a place to stay. I need something to eat. The ant says, you know, I told you what to do this past spring and summer. You chose not to do it. Grasshopper said, I learned my lesson. Just let me in. I learned my lesson. The ant lets him in. They share food. He sells his shelter. Spring comes about.
Grasshoppers back there playing this fiddle all over again. Now I want to ask you this question. Who do you want to be in life? Do you want to be the ant that prepares, builds a saving and nest egg, and create generational wealth too? Or do you want to be the grasshopper? Just fly by NIDA and just come up with stuff with no preparation in life.
I hope that you choose that you want to be the ant in life.
