Well, I think it is like the early bird gets the worm, and maybe in your personality that isn't how you approach life, maybe you like to think things over and ponder before making decisions. ?

This is most reflected in folk's trying to be "one-up" on you. It interested me for years and then after entering corporate I see folks reading emails at 2:00 AM and getting up at 4:00 am to drive to work.....The advantage of time allows one to "be ahead" of another. It's only a shame that the "one-up" society is perpetuated.

I think in some cases it is important (if your given a chance for example, and you pass up an important opportunity because you were too lazy to do what ever was needed)but in some cases I find it is annoying.

There are times when opportunity passes those who sit and wait. But in my experience, holding out for only the best pays off big.

I very much so agree with it as I am a very ambitious person. Who has a large drive to get ahead in life.

Yes. Action usually beats inaction.

I hate the saying too, but for the most part I think it's true.

Yes, not the best saying.
But i agree with it, in this world these days, if you don't go after what you want, someone else will beat you to it
