They say the early bird catches the early worm to inspire people to be on time. It sound that there is a reward to be on time, but that is not always the case. It may sounds that there is a reward because it is right that the early bird catches the early worm not unless you are the worm. If you have a business then it may apply that if you open up early then the possibility that you make more sale than those who open later than you because to have tapped in the early buyers-in this case you are the bird. But there are cases that you the worm and I think I don't need to mention it just think back and I bet you'll find a good example that happened to you.
