One phrase I’ve always heard but never fully understood is “the early bird catches the worm.” I get that it means being proactive often leads to success, but I’ve always wondered why a worm specifically? What if the worm doesn’t want to be caught? It seems like there could be other metaphors that would make the same point without the implications of predation!
