What a nice example for "Work smarter, not harder"

[sarad]

I love how the anthill got a big improvement by a little ant who just wanted to have fun XD

[clayhsu]

Geniuses seem to cause chaos in society, but they are actually the driving force for society to move forward.

[tony]

curiosity and creativity sometimes cause troubles, but challenging and breaking the limitations, making the world better and the benefited are those being troubled previously.
thanks for the braveness for being the first ant and being urself

[dewvenojas]

They work

They eat

but most importantly...


WOO HEE WOO HEE HEE WO

[binamsharma]

The two types of work !
First hardwork .
Second smartwork .
What is hardwork we know but what is smartwork ?
The Smartwork is a better version of hardwork ..

[pikants]

Une belle morale : travailler en s'amusant est bénéfique de tout points de vues

[Nana_Amprofi]

Moral lesson; there's always that person who changes the narrative. Give them the chance.

[gladz]

Thx for this vid, this inspired me to start writing a book called “Legend of The First Ant king.”
(Maybe I’ll explain part of the story)

[justabeing]

I wish the human society was as cooperative as the ants really are.
