The early bird catches the worm
Meaning: Basically means, "if you work hard and prepare you will be great!", but it can be taken more literally to mean, "if you wake up early (and work hard) you will be successful".
Example:- Taka: Yoshihiro, let's wake up at 4:00am tomorrow and practice playing baseball!
- Yoshihiro: I agree! You know what they say, "the early bird catches the worm!"
- Taka: We will be the best baseball players ever!
- Yoshihiro: Ok, I'll see you tomorrow morning!
- Yoshihiro: uhhg...it's too early...
- Taka: zzz zzz
Origin: When you hear this, try to imagine birds catching worms. The bird that wakes up the earliest has a better chance of catching worms. This is a very old proverb that dates all the way back to 1670 in England.

Bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word.
