Striking when the iron is hot ,is speaking of right timing. Its talking about the art of shaping iron into a usefull instrument ,this cant be done untill the metal is white hot and pliable. you cant strike it while its in the fire ,and to strike before its pliable would result in useless labor perhaps even damge to the final outcome. one would do better tending the fire and being patient.

It depends on the situation. If I were a laywer, I might act different than a financial investor. I think in some cases, it does not matter which one comes first.

This is a famous quote by W.B. Yeats. It is about putting extra effort in pursuit of success. This competitive world that we are living in, You can not wait for the success to come to you. Instead of waiting for the opportunity to be presented, one must create the opportunities if success is the ultimate goal.
