Ants are driven by purpose - yes ants have a long term goal and they work hard to achieve that goal - that of providing food for themselves.
Ants prepare ahead of time - they prepare their food in summer, knowing that there will be a time when they will not be able to go out and source for their food, that is during winter time.
Ants have a time to rest and a time to work - This is true because they work hard during summer period and rest during winter time thereby conserving their energy for the next work ahead.
Ants carry workload they can handle - It is true that they are tiny insects but they carry more than 100% of their weight. Despite that, they know their limitations. They can handle even difficult situations they may come their way.
Ants serve one another - they are always at the service of each other, showing that they are not selfish.
