Everyone wants to be successful, but not everyone succeeds. The reason is that some people can understand the situation and take the right step at the right time. Those who do not miss the right opportunity and take the desired action without fear are the ones who succeed in their endeavors.

Everyone in life wants to succeed in any project they take on. Success builds confidence, failure makes a person depressed. Success is appreciated, but failure marks a person as incompetent. There are people who often succeed while others often fail in their efforts. Of course, it is very difficult to explain success and failure from the perspective of scientific analysis. There are several factors that greatly influence the outcome of an endeavor. It means grasping the situation and taking action at the right time.

The proverb comes from the craft of blacksmithing. It hits the iron when it's red because that's when the iron is at its softest and most malleable. By hitting it quickly, he can give it the shape he wants. But instead, if it doesn't hit it while it's hot and soft, any amount of hammer won't affect the iron. Interpreted and applied to people's daily lives, it means seizing opportunities as they arise. Wise people stay awake and take advantage of the opportunity (which is a favorable combination of circumstances) and get what they want. Meanwhile, those who are not cautious will pass up the opportunity and then hardly succeed in getting what they want. It is believed that opportunities rarely repeat themselves. Therefore, the opportunity once missed is permanent or permanent. Shakespeare expressed the same idea in his play Julius Caesar when he wrote:

“There is a tide in the affairs of men

Men inundated in a flood will lead to property;

There are certain people who are more often than not slumbering when it comes to evaluating the circumstances and recognizing the opportunity. Having missed the opportunity they curse their stars or ill luck for their failure. What these people fail to realize is that the fault does not lie with the stars but with themselves. They can easily join the group of successful people it only they care to know what is happening around them and keep their eyes and ears open.

To strike while the iron is hot means to grab an opportunity before it passes, to take advantage of an opportunity before it is too late. The idea is that one exploits good timing, knowing when the best moment to act in a given situation occurs
