The early bird catches the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese( Random Thought )
Heres the theory.
In daily life, only the earliest people would get something good. For example only the first few who are highly qualified would get a job. The rest would be forced to find something else. Therefore, we must always be early in doing things in order for us to succeed in life.
However, there are circumstances on which being second or third is benefiting. Like the first mouse failing to get the cheese but the second one succeeds, if something bad happens, you must always learn from others mistakes instead of falling for something which is similar. So if you are deep trouble, always remember some other person also faced this problem before and you should learn from it and overcome yours.
