MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES

This is a well known and popular proverb. The meaning of the proverb is that we must not let any opportunity slip, any chance to get a work done. Instead of missing a chance or an opportunity we must make prompt and full use of it whenever it comes because we know that chance or opportunity does not come too many. It comes only once. Our life is uncertain. We do not know what is in store for us today and what will be tomorrow. We are quite hearty and healthy today but we may be ill and bed ridden tomorrow. So if we miss any chance or opportunity, we have to suffer a lot because we are not sure that another chance will come and then we will make the best use of that chance. So we shall employ all our energy and means to make the best use of an opportunity. The wise men of the world do not miss any chance or opportunity. The wise men take the chance at the right moment and do not leave it for tomorrow and in this way they make hay while the sun shines.
