We as translators or language professionals, translators and Interpreters can learn a lot through the image of ants.First of all we can learn the skill of team work. If all the language professionals around the world come together and work together, it will obviously help everyone. We could have a monopoly of our own in the market. Such team work will allow us to help, guide and advice each other. We can expand our horizons, learn new things and bring in new opportunities. Team work not only helps you at a professional level but also teaches to work as a team with your family in personal life. Modlingua could offer us such a platform where all the language professionals can together form a team which will then surely allow us to enhance our importance in the market. Being a monopoly is always an advantage, the biggest advantage being we will be one so there will be no competition. Working as one entity would surely allow us to stand out the rest.

This image of ants also teaches us the importance of networking. It explains how important it is to build a proper network of all language professionals from around the world. It is vital to be connected so that we can share our experiences and learn from experiences of others. The more people you have in your network, the stronger and larger is the network and hence there is better team work which again would allow us to make a difference in the market. Modlingua surely is a platform which can be used to increase this network. We can all contribute our bit and connect different dots from all corners of the world to form a huge network while holdings hand of each other. When you know so many people from your domain, you just tend to flourish and succeed. A proper network gives you the opportunity to learn through others which is the fastest way to learn.

The image of ants also tries to tell us the importance of leadership. There is an ant who is kind of supervising the work which could be the leader. Yes we do work as a team but there is always a need of proper guidance, it is important to know what is our goal and how will we achieve it. Hence the leader plays an important role in directing us towards the goal and taking out the best out of us to work efficiently.
