意思
Early starters are more successful.
文化背景
In rural Romania, being called 'harnic' (industrious) is one of the highest compliments. This proverb is the foundation of that identity. The proverb is equally popular in the Republic of Moldova, often used with a slightly different accent but the same cultural weight. Despite the '9-to-5' shift, many Romanian CEOs attribute their success to 'morning rituals', keeping the proverb alive in LinkedIn posts. Many folk tales feature a 'third son' who succeeds because he is the only one willing to wake up early and guard the garden.
Use it for praise
It's a very polite and culturally appreciated way to compliment someone's work ethic.
Don't overdo the irony
Using it ironically too often can make you sound like you're complaining about your own schedule.
