Birds and worms

"The early bird catches the worm"

means if we want to achieve our goals, then we must have an early start.

My say:
"Early worm gets eaten by the bird"

means if you do something too early, you may get caught up with extra unnessarry problem.

Example 1: Your project is in deep shit. Your boss found out about it after working hours. Next day, you are the first person to arrive for work. Your boss let go steam at you without waiting for others to be present.

Example 2: The stock you are stalking may be at the end of a downtrend. You wanted to maximize your profit, so you buy in. But the stock moves up and down with equal strength from the bulls and the bears. You waited and waited for yours to make the big move while other stocks are leaping and jumping. After waiting a few months, it finally confirm your analysis and starts moving. You may have missed other profits for getting your capital tied up with a trendless stock.

Just a stupid musing.....
