What is your opinion of the ant’s principles?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

Ant's principles are completely right. Those who do not think ahead can never succeed in life. And if they are helped again and again they will never learn a lesson.

Ant's are having the ability to foresee and that is why they save for the future. They do not borrow from anybody and even do not lend to anyone.
