MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES~!!!


The work of a farmer depends almost entirely on the weather which is an uncertain factor; and he has accordingly, bright sun shine. So the farmer has to be on the alert to get his hay in, while the weather is favorable, lest it should be ruined by rain and mist. In an extended sense, the difficulties of farmers are like the difficulties of all people, no matter what their walks of life (maybe). Like the weather, life and health are uncertain; opportunities rarely occur and never repeat themselves. When an opportunity offers itself, man must seize it and use it to the best advantage. Otherwise he gets ruined like the negligent farmer whose hay is destroyed by a change in the weather. The man who takes things easy, postpones till tomorrow what he should do to-day, suffers heavily like the one who does not strike while the iron is hot. It is therefore necessary to make use of favorable opportunity. While we have health and the means, against a day when we may be deprived of one or the other, or both.

“There is a tide in the affairs of men,
 Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune,
 Omitted, all the voyage of their life,
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.”
