Dear freinds,
Do you know Thailand? We have the proverb similarity. And I would like to express with pride.
"It is easier if you make a sword by hammering while the sword is hot."
(I wonder if anyone kindly correct my grammar usage)
Thank you,
PS

We too in Albania use this proverb.
Strike while the iron is hot.

| Also in Chinese, we have a idiom "趁热打铁“，which means exactly the same as "strike while the iron is hot". |

In our South Indian Language (Tamil) we have a proverb with almost the same theme..''Kaatru Ullapothey Thootrikkol.." (Means: filter the paddy when there is wind..)
