  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 112 . The proverb today is to strike while the

  • iron is hot. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If we say that someone

  • should strike while the iron is hot. We mean that one that needs to take

  • advantage of a good opportunity while it is still available. Because it will

  • probably only be this good you know, as good as it is right now at this moment,

  • for a short time. So you have to strike while the iron is hot. Okay. Let's

  • continue. This proverb alludes to when a blacksmith was forming or shaping iron.

  • So yeah. Remember in, especially in former times. Even today and they shape iron

  • still this way, he couldn't delay. He had to do it while the iron was still very

  • hot and pliable. Pliable means you know, like bendable. So that they could shape

  • it and they could form it into whatever they want. So they had to do it while the

  • iron was hot. If they waited too long just like we say here, once the metal

  • cools it hardens and the opportunity is lost. if you don't have it in the

  • right shape or a perfect shape before it cools down, you're going to end up with a

  • strange-looking piece of metal or sword or whatever whatever type of hire and

  • they will forming. Okay. So this proverb dates back to the

  • 1500s. So dates back that, that at that time,

  • especially, especially in those days. You know, a lot of the weapons were made in

  • iron basically. All right. Let's continue. Let's look at several examples we have

  • here. Example number one. Many investment analysts will often tell their clients

  • to strike while the iron is hot. If they believe they are suggesting a good

  • investment. Meaning you know, it's good now. You had better get it now you better do

  • it now before it's too late. Either before the price goes up or the

  • price goes down. Something like that. All right. Let's look at number two. Jenny

  • recently broke up with her boyfriend. You liked

  • her for the longest time. If you want her to become your girlfriend you had better

  • strike while the iron is hot before another guy asks her out. Yeah. I have

  • heard it used this way. As far as like you know dating or relationships maybe

  • she's free now. Maybe she's a very pretty popular girl. If you wait too long you

  • know, some other guys going to move in there and become the new boyfriend. So you

  • better strike while the iron is hot. Well you know now that she's separated from

  • the old boyfriend you might have this short time period. You know, in between.

  • You got a strike while the iron is hot. All right. Let's look at number three. The

  • housing market has hit its peak. If you are ever going to sell you should do it

  • now before the market reverses. Before it starts to go down too much. You have to

  • strike while the iron is hot. That's the way we use it. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got

  • it, I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.

  • Bye bye.
