Socrates says:

When I was young, I didn’t like to wake up early, and my mother hated this behavior of mine because she dreamed of seeing me one day as a rich merchant...

One day, my mother went with me to the teacher, and she agreed with him to tell me the benefits of waking up early.

  • The teacher: Socrates, I will tell you a beautiful story and you will tell me what you learned from it, okay?
  • Socrates: Alright
  • Teacher: There were two birds, one woke up early and ate from the insects and fed its young, while the second woke up late and found nothing to eat… What did you learn from the story, Socrates?!
  • Socrates: The insects that wake up early are eaten by the birds!
