Expansion of idea - make hay while the sunshine
Answers
The proverb, ‘make hay while the sun shines’ is generally used to mean that ‘it is very necessary to make the best of whatever opportunity comes in our way.’ We should always be alert, in mind and body, to reap the benefits of an opportunity.
It is very difficult to prepare hay during rainy and foggy days. Therefore, a wise farmer prepares hay crops during fine weather conditions. He understands that the climatic conditions favorable for making not continue forever. For this reason, he tries to avail himself of the opportunity for making hay crops during sunny days.
The proverb warn people that if they procrastinates and do not avail of the good opportunities, then they may find themselves in a situation when the opportunity has lapsed.
Future is uncertain. The few opportunities that people get in their life have limited validity with regard to time. Hence, good opportunities should be acted upon immediately when they are found.
The world has become an intensely competitive place. People should not ignore opportunities and wait for next.
The proverb ‘Make hay while the sun shines’ means to take advantage of suitable conditions to achieve something.
The proverb comes from England. In the olden days, farmers had to put in a lot of effort to make the hay ready for storage. Also, ‘making’ hay required sunny weather since water ruined the hay. Now, the proverb means to be alert and accomplish as much as possible (make hay) when the situation is favourable (when the sun is shining). It requires an individual to be alert about possible good opportunities and agile enough to quickly act effectively so that he/she can profit from the situation. The weather in England is usually rainy and there are limited periods of sunshine just like good opportunities in life are very few.
