Do I go for the Worm or wait for the Cheese?

If we are truly heads-up, we pay avid attention to this shared wisdom on the expectation of a smoother and more productive passage through life. But, what should we really listen to? Who is more credible, what advice is more valid?

Most of my life I’ve heard that the early bird catches the worm. Life is full of opportunity so, get off my butt and go out and grab opportunity for myself and my family. Can’t be too much value in settling for someone’s left-overs, so it makes perfect sense to me.

Now I hearing that the world is full of risks and the first mouse will likely get snagged by that trap. It’s the second mouse that has the luxury and opportunity to flow in behind the first mouse to take the, now readily available cheese. I really don’t need (or even want) to be the first one to Mars, so makes perfect sense to me.

Which one makes perfect sense to you? Do you really want a piece of this?
