What’s an aphorism?!? a statement of truth or opinion expressed in a short and witty manner often used for philosophical, moral and literary principles

A)Literal Meaning: The proverb refers to the fact that when effectively shaping and molding hot iron, a blacksmith must act quickly before the iron cools down and hardens. B) Idea Expressed: We should act decisively and take advantage of favorable conditions or opportunities when they arise because they may not always be there. C) Specific Real World Example: During a particular week when your boss at Sonic is wowed by the fact you fixed the tater tot machine and numerous customers reported your excellent service-- though you are really nervous-- this could be the perfect moment to ask for a raise.

A)Literal Meaning: The aphorism refers to the fact that the best way to cut down a large tree is not with one simple huge stroke. It’s about making many small, repeated, decisive strokes with an axe. B) Idea Expressed: Many small actions can be powerful enough to make a big change. Or… Though our strengths may be limited, if we are persistent, we can still solve a big problem or accomplish something grand. C) Specific Real World Example: If you are a slow or weak reader, you can still read a long, difficult text. You just need to take it one page, one passage, one sentence, or even one word at a time. ~Benjamin Franklin
