APAD: Go to the ant, you sluggard +

"Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!  " - Proverbs 6:6.

Here King Solomon challenges a lazy person to learn from ants, creatures who exemplify hard work, discipline, self-motivation, and foresight.  They work hard without a boss, storing food for the future, while a sluggard's irresponsibility leads to ruin.

The phrase challenges the lazy people to observe the ant's industriousness and become wise by emulating its preparation and hard work, contrasting it with the negative outcomes of indolence like poverty and failure.

Bonus: Let's make a day of ants with another idiom 

"To have ants in your pants" is an idiom meaning you're extremely restless, fidgety, or unable to sit still, usually due to excitement, nervousness, or impatience, like waiting for something thrilling to start.  It describes that feeling of needing to move, similar to if actual ants were crawling on you, leading to squirming or bouncing around.

I'm an animal lover, but my son loves animals more than anyone I know.  

Pat, his grade 3 teacher, once told me that when other kids were playing during class recess, he would be sitting on the ground and observing ants.

One day my son brought home a small plastic ant house with a few ants inside, which really freaked me out.  Not only it won't be a pleasant experience for the ants, but if they got out, I would have ants in my pants for sure !!!

So I talked and talked, and finally convinced him to let the ants go free in the backyard.

But, don't you feel we all are like working ants someway in life?

ps.  A working ant I saw a few days ago which is the trigger of today's APAD:
