거지도 부지런하면 더운 밥 얻어 먹는다
beggar-TOO diligence-DOES-IF warm-ADJ rice gets eats
If a beggar is diligent he can get and eat warm rice too.
Even googletranslate believes this has something to do with early birds and worms, so that must be the equivalent proverb. I never liked that proverb – mostly because I don’t feel like eating worms. But I understand the idea. I like the Korean version better – it’s very bootstrappy.
