Strike While The Iron Is Hot is an indication that , we must always be ready to take a chance or make a move when an opportunity or the need arises.
It is indeed a great statement with such a great advice but for me , the statement has to be restructured . It is not always that this statement applies to humanity and "so-called" opportunities.
Well let's talk about the good side before the bad side.
Many are the times , opportunities , chances or whatever one will call it comes on our way but we become too "inquisitively" and let such chances disappear without grabbing them, be ause some might include fees , or sometimes hardwork so we allow them for them to disappear.
A friend of mine had the chance to attend an I.T classes, it was free but the classes intersected with a time he always went out to play with other friends .
Instead of cutting off that meetings and focusing on the classes, he took the classes for granted and went for the classes oy when he felt like going , giving funny excuses to the classes teacher each time he missed the class and is asked why he missed.
A time came where they needed to promote these I.T students to work as employees in a company in which they admitted almost every student who took part in the classes except this friend of mine and some others who didn't take the classes seriously.
If he had used his efforts wisely and striked while the iron was hot( learnt while he had the chance to, attended the classes while he could) , he would have been admitted and if even he won't get anything he would get a monthly tipping. But instead he wasted every bit of the opportunity and still depends on his mother for basic things.
It is of clear explanation here that, we should always take things seriously especially ones that gives as knowledge, tipping or what not but with such an advice it doesn't mean all chances or "so-called" opportunities are good.
A writer in our locality saw an advert on a social media app saying if you are a writer, you are at it to make it big since they create an available platform for all that makes it really easier for people to show their worth.
As sound and wilful as he was, he decided to seek further information from them. He was lied to professionally and was ripped of nearly $400 after they showed him fake sites, payouts and whatever evidence one could ask for .
This situation left me with a question that, if we are advised to strike while the iron is hot but sometimes end up getting ripped then is that statement worth it?
But I was of the view that if you use a faulty iron and it really gets hot using it can get your stuff burnt and so is such related to life.
If you going for faulty or ingenious opportunities it will rather lead you into losing than gaining thereby the need to always do our own research(DYOR) before we go into an opportunity.
WE make sure we take it a chance when we find one but look through it and ask for feedbacks before using or availing ourselves to them.
Thank you all for your time, it's Dangerous_Fly once again, Bring It On!!!.
Very good explanation of the the title. For the second story, we can also say half knowledge is dangerous.
