The early bird gets the Worm

Through all our lives we were conditioned to it. Wake up early, seize the day, watch the sunrise! Great, isn′t it? I do love it! Or not...
When we were farmers, no doubt about it! Before sunrise, we had to go to the fields to profit from the night′s dew to plow, milk the cows, make the day big, since that by 18h it would be almost night and the day was finished! Nothing alike our times now! Yet, we love to make those escapades to where we can find that!...
The Industrial Revolution with the productivity shifts, also conditioned a certain way of living much similar to the agricultural era! However, some differences! More lights at night, and independence from the solar cycle!
And all life was and is still organised around that concept! School is still working that way, even if we are living in another era, with so many other different "shifts", yet parents must go to work and children of course follow the pattern. mass production, mass way of living!
Luckily (or not) our era allows different ways of procedures concerning work! No longer office places, we can work from where we want and at the time we want, depending of course, on the projects and schedules we commit to.
So, finally, we are being more individual oriented work!
But, you know? There are people who prefer nights! They have a different life rythm and the quiet of night is unsurpassed! Not only that, but also in this global village, people do have businesses around the world and must work at different timetables than the country where they are, amidst so many other situations!
So, going to the beach to get the most beautiful seashells before anyone else, smelling that fresh air in the morning after a good night′s sleep, and so many other sun rising people love to do is not necessarily the same to everybody! And that must be taken care of in our new era!
What are you in fact? An early bird or a night owl?
