This straightforward, interestingly coined great saying, at the very instant of reading, drives home die message that one should make use of the situation that is favorable to him in his task. This English proverb tells the climatic condition prevalent there. They seldom get bright sun light unlike in India, as it is always cold and snowy there.
So, the farmers who need to stack up hay for their cited must expose them to the sun light to get them dried up or otherwise if they are preserved in damp or wet condition, the hay stack will not last long. The concept here is to swing into action at the right time. This is not exclusively for farmers or to keep the hay in the sun light. In every walk of our life, there is certain right time to achieve any different task.
Plan your work, analyze the pros and cons, and see if it is the right time to start. Once you have started, keep at it till you accomplish it. It is said that, “Well begun is half done!”
ADVERTISEMENTS:
To begin well, as mentioned above, one has to calculate all possibilities that would bear fruit. For certain work pertaining to agriculture, there is recommended period to commence work, so that the change of weather/climate does not affect its result.
A man who wants to construct a house must start during the summer so that by the time it comes to lintel level and ceiling work, the rainy season would be on the anvil. And the rain would not affect his house work in any way.
Similarly when someone wants to dig a well or bore well, the best period is before the start of the rainy season; only then the ground water level would be deep down and he can dig maximum depth to get sufficient water to last until tire next season.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Instead, if he tries during rainy season, lie cannot dig too deep as the ground water level would be so high that within a few feet he would strike water and cannot dig deeper.
Like wise for every task, there is a time. Time here does not mean auspicious hours or any sort of sentimental bosh. So plan your work accordingly, choosing the right time and reap the benefit.
