Does the early bird catch the worm?

This theory is always interesting, if the worm keeps getting up early implies that there are chances of ending up in the early bird's belly, why doesn't the worm sleep in and get up a little later like say mid morning when the sun's not to high up to roast him.

But then again there's the late bird; will he meet this late worm? In this animal kingdom, the rule is simple: eat or get eaten because whichever way early or late fate doesn't have favorites and life is always in the moment. Heck! It's probably easier that way for both prey and predator. On one hand, the worm is freed from the burden of waiting his eventuality and the bird is freed from the burden of uncertainty in both these scenarios early works out pretty well for either of them. So indeed, the early bird does catch the worm. Lesson being, live in the now.

The essence of living is always in the moment. It entails the continuity of life as a cycle where one part of the system gives and the other takes. In both scenarios, a balance is achieved but the principle factor is prudence. Without it there are no rewards. When in a situation that adversely affects you, it is better to confront the problem sooner rather than later. Hence it would be ideal for the worm to get up early and fend for itself lest it's gets up late and be scorched by the rising sun. On the other hand, the bird must get up early to increase its chances of making a catch. Think of it as a food chain that is cyclic. Everything depends on one thing: timing. Right timing is why the food chain remains strong as it's weakest link and this weak link represents the little moments that you capitalize on. The more you capitalize, the more opportunity you create. To some extent, this explains how ecosystems achieve an equilibrium based on the powerful element of timing. Everything in the opportune moment; the sooner the better.

Ask yourself this: does the gazelle want to get up early, be well fed and strong by noon so as to confront the threat of being the lion's food choices? Or does the lion sleep through the morning just to meet some highly energized prey in the afternoon? In both situations early saves the day.
