Strike While the IRON is HOT

As a rule, you can't see the best years of your life until many years after. Life, it seems, is best seen in hindsight. But for those struggling on a certain pet project for years waiting for their break, it is sometimes possible to feel changes in your life. A person's defining moment is probably when he gets recognition for his work. Since we cannot be sure when these fortuitous events will manifest in our lives, adhering to the principle of "striking while the iron is hot" is a good policy to follow.
