The early bird gets the worm

The early bird gets the worm means that a person who gets better result than others by doing something earlier and harder than them. In my opinion, this is the correct way to achieve my goals. When I studied in my high school, I always work very hard, I spent more time on my subjects than other people did. As a result, I was pretty good in my class. However, the effort is not the only important thing, I also think that to get a right method is very efficient for studying. In Chinese, there is another idiom that is the early worm is eaten by bird. Sometimes, although I learn something earlier than others, I do not eventually get a higher score on tests. This is because I do not know how to study efficiently. In conclusion, I want to be a early bird to get the worm and always to choose the correct method to study.
