Make Hay While the Sun Shines

“Opportunity knocks only once — open the door before it walks away.”
Life is full of chances, but only those who are ready and alert can grab them at the right
moment.. The famous proverb “Make hay while the sun shines” teaches us the importance of
using time wisely and grabbing chances before they slip away. A farmer dries hay only when
the weather is favourable. If he waits too long, rain will ruin his efforts. Similarly, when life
offers us a chance to progress, we should act without delay.
Every great success story is built on timely action. Students who prepare throughout the year
enjoy success during exams. Youth is the sunshine of life — a time to learn, explore, and
build a strong future. Time and tide wait for none — once lost, time never returns.
Procrastination is the thief of time and leads only to regret.
Life is full of unexpected twists, so we must remain prepared and positive. Instead of waiting
for perfect conditions, we should work hard with determination. As another proverb says, “A
stitch in time saves nine.” Acting early saves effort, energy, and worry.
In conclusion, this proverb reminds us that those who act on time achieve their dreams, while
those who hesitate lose the golden chance. Therefore, let us be smart, active, and alert — and
truly make hay while the sun shines!
Social Networking – Advantages and Disadvantages
“We are more connected than ever, yet more alone than before.”
In today’s digital era, social networking has transformed human life. Platforms like
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and X connect people within seconds. Families stay in
touch across countries, students attend online classes, and businesses grow through digital
marketing. We receive news instantly, and talented individuals get global recognition. Truly,
knowledge travels faster than light in the age of social media.
But every rose has its thorns. Excessive use of social networking can lead to many problems.
Cyberbullying, fake news, addiction, jealousy, and privacy theft are increasing day by day.
Many people compare their lives with filtered pictures online and feel unhappy. Real
conversations are replaced by emojis, and health suffers due to long screen time. As the wise
saying goes, “Too much of anything is good for nothing.” Technology should help us grow,
not trap us.
Therefore, we must use social media responsibly — like a tool, not a master. Parents should
monitor young users, people must protect their personal information, and everyone should
balance virtual and real life. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so outdoor
activities and quality family time are equally important.
In conclusion, social networking is a blessing when used wisely but a curse when misused.
The key lies in balance: Use it to connect, learn, inspire — not to waste time or lose yourself.
