What is the meaning of [The early bird catches the worm]

A person who gets up early in the morning has the best chance of success. Good
advice to those who get up late in the morning, or miss opportunities by not
acting promptly. Of course there is the other side of it: the worm was also up
early.

> Our supervisor always goes to work before his colleagues. He knows too well
that the early bird catches the worm.
