take advantage of a good situation while it lasts
趁着好机会抓住它 (chènzhe hǎo jīhuì zhuā zhù tā)
"You should make hay while the sun shines and finish your work early."
"你应该趁着好机会抓住它，提前完成工作。" (nǐ yīnggāi chènzhe hǎo jīhuì zhuā zhù tā, tíqián wánchéng gōngzuò)
to secure something completely
to embrace and actively engage with something
Willing to consider new ideas or opinions.
to deal with life and its challenges confidently
to lose energy or enthusiasm
so surprised that you cannot speak
