8 Lessons We Can Learn From Insects by typicaldayo(m): 11:02pm On Oct 29, 2015
Looking inside an anthill you most have been thrown in awe the architectural masterpiece that is the interior of an anthill. Anthill are properly ventilated to allow the passage of air in and out. They build underground bunkers to guarantee security of the queen, just like developed countries build for security reasons. The way this tiny creatures construct their hill is truly a "next level architecture".
Without much ado, permit me to share with you 8 life lessons we can learn from social insects. (Using termites as a case study).
1). The first important lesson to learn from termites is the power of unison. They are individually powerless, but by heaping their efforts together, they are able to accomplish their anthill construction project. As humans, if we cultivate the spirit of togetherness, their is nothing we can't achieve.
2). They are orderly. I know we must have seen a group of insects moving towards a target before, this tiny creatures knows exactly what to do at the right time, like soldiers on parade they don't bend the line.
3). They believe in division of labour. Ever wondered how tiny termites build their hill? Everyone do their part to ensures the job is done.
4). They perform their duties diligently. They are not lazy, Without being told, everyone perform their duties within the colonies, unlike humans, they never wait to be told before they swing into action. A worker, a soldier and even the queen performs their duties without being told to do so.
5). They are not interested in taking the glory, everything they do is for the collective glory of their colony. This is one distinct characteristic that distinguish humans and insects, while humans tend to enjoy praises from fellow humans, termites performs because they believe in the ultimate goal of the colony.
6). They plan for tomorrow. Insects understands that it will be more difficult to burrow during the dry season, they store up food during the raining season, there by, sustaining themselves through the dry season. We humans should learn from special feature.
7). They are not selfish. They find food and inform others. Unlike humans, the moment we discover an opportunity, we don't want others to know it.
cool. Termites are focused and courageous, which is why they are likely to bite you when you mess up with their programme. They are confident enough to wage wars against humans and any other person messing or trying to mess up with their affairs. It doesn’t matter to them that the humans they are biting can squash them in seconds. Humans can also learn from termites that no matter how strong your opponent is, you can’t just sit indolently and let them destroy you.
