“Make hay while the sun shines" is an old saying .

If you make hay while the sun shines, it means that you make good use of your time or make the most of an opportunity while you have the chance.

The saying has been around for hundreds of years. Experts believe the phrase came from medieval English farmers.

Hundreds of years ago, it would take many days for farmers to cut, dry and gather hay. Today, it's much easier to make hay because of our modern machinery and weather forecasting.

Since hay can be ruined easily if it gets too wet, the farmers had to take advantage of hot, dry, sunny weather to cut and gather hay. Thus, “make hay while the sun shines" was just a matter of common sense to them.

They eventually began to use the phrase generally to mean take advantage of circumstances before the chance slips away.

This proverb like so many others, offers good advice. Opportunities may only come along not so often.

We need to take stock of a situation and realize when an opportunity arises. If you can act on it before it slips away, you'll have made hay while the sun shines!

Since we never know what the future may hold, we need to get hold of those opportunities that present themselves today.As every second counts!

Are we ready to seize the moment? What are the opportunities that are available to you today? Spend some time thinking about how you can best make use of your time and talent.

As of today as it is an internet based world ,therefore we need to seize every and any opportunity that we can get our hands on to get in the income to sustain our lives .
