Early Rising
Rise early to accomplish your goals; the sleeping wolf wins no meat and the sleeper no victory.
The Havamal repeatedly emphasizes the value of rising early. Dawn hours are for planning and action. Those who sleep late miss opportunities while the diligent seize the day. This practical wisdom reflects the Norse work ethic.
Early should rise he who has few workers, and go to his work; much is left undone by the late sleeper; wealth is won by the vigorous.
Norse culture valued industriousness and saw laziness as shameful.
