How to Perform Best when Opportunities Are Limited

Everyone wishes to succeed in every endeavor he or she undertakes. Success builds confidence while failure leads to dejection. The proverb is closely associated with the occupation of an ironsmith.

The proverb 'Strike when the iron is hot' is closely associated with the occupation of an ironsmith. With the help of the bellows, he produces a strong current of air to keep the fire blowing. He places the piece of iron; he wishes to work upon, over the fire. Soon the iron turns red hot; he removes it from the fire to the anvil and quickly strikes it into shape. When the iron is red hot, it is pliable and can be molded into the desired shape. But if the ironsmith misses the opportunity of striking the iron into shape, when it is red hot, no amount of hammering would have any effect on it later.

Interpreted and applied to daily human existence, the proverb means seizing the opportunity when it presents itself. The wise always remain alert and make the best use of the opportunity that comes their way. While people who are not watchful and let the opportunities slip by, find it extremely difficult to succeed in any endeavor. When opportunity knocks at the door those who make the best out of it succeed, while others who don't are left behind. And opportunities seldom repeat themselves. Therefore, an opportunity once missed is missed either for a lifetime or for a long period.

When the sea is in tide, the sailors who are alert seize the chance to set their ships on sail. Those sailors who remain anchored on land miss the opportunity, and are forced to postpone their journey till the arrival of another tide. Similarly, there is a tide in the affairs of human beings, that is, there is a certain time which is propitious5 for achieving certain objectives.

This proverb can be applied to any sphere of life and its efficacy can be evaluated. In the field of sports, those players who make the best out of the opportunities succeed in their game and make their nation feel proud of them. He hooked it for a six thus clinching the cup for Pakistan. Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, Pete Sampras, Ivan Lendl and Boris Becker have succeeded in lawn-tennis by taking advantage of their opponents' weaknesses and seizing the opportunity of defeating them. Similarly, other sportspersons also who avail themselves of the opportunities that come their way succeed in their respective sphere of sports.

History of the world would have taken a different course if Hitler had seized the opportunity of carrying out an offensive against Britain rather than Russia. In the meantime England was able to gather the support of its allies and defeat Hitler in the Second World War. His ambitions of conquering the world were nipped in the bud because he did not grab the opportunity when it came up to him. Nadir Shah, the ruler of Iran, attacked and plundered India's wealth, when India was being ruled by the weakest of the Muslim kings, Mohammad Shah. Apart from the wealth, he also took away the Peacock Throne of Jahangir, which was a precious relic.

India has remained a country which followed an archaic pattern of. The splintered society was never able to resist any aggression. The Aryans invaded and settled down in India and shared their religious beliefs, culture and traditions with the inhabitants of the country. In the medieval Muslim invasions became frequent because the country was divided into different empires which were not strong enough to defend the aggression. The aggressors knew the weaknesses of India and grabbed the opportunely to plunder India's wealth. Timor Lang's invasion took place when India was under weak rulers. A new rule was laid by Babar which restored stability to the nation. The country prospered under his successors especially Akbar. The decline of the Muslim rule led to the era of the British conquest in India. The British took advantage of the growing instability in the country to further their vested interests.

In the field of politics, this maxim holds equally good. A politician's success largely depends on his exploiting the sentiment of the public. The slogans of 'Remove Poverty' and abolition of the landlord system and the nationalization of the banks helped the Congress register victory in the elections after its popularity had gone to low ebb. The imposition of emergency had disgruntled the public which gave the opposition an opportunity to join hands and form an alliance. Though the opposition was able to grab power, it could not last its full term which enabled the Congress to return to power. Indians have seen the ruling party fall and regain power because Indian politics gives a number of opportunities.

There are certain people who are more often caught slumbering when it comes to evaluating the circumstances and recognizing the opportunity. Having missed it they curse their stars or their misfortune for their failures. No doubt, there are times when individual alertness does not help much and success depends on mere chance. But such times are few and far between. Generally, those who keep their eyes and ears open to strike at the right opportunity achieve success. They join the bandwagon of successful people because by being sagacious, they make the best out of the opportunities that come their way.
