I have recently observed an incredibly busy squirrel in my back yard.  He has but one thing on his mind.

Preparing for winter. 

He’s burying his treasure in anticipation of harder days ahead. He knows instinctively that the snow is coming.  Trees will no longer bear their fruit.  Better work now, for the day is coming when no squirrel can work. 

I can learn a lot from that squirrel.
