Wake late, win late.

I think we consider too much the luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.

The early bird gets the worm. The early worm... gets eaten.

The early bird catches the worm.

Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but sometimes the early bird gets frozen to death.

The early bird who catches the worm works for someone who comes in late and owns the worm farm.
