36. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

Man lives with his dreams. It is not day dreaming which brings fruits but the dreams which inspire us to perspire in the mines, toil in the field , build castles not in the air but manifested in largest human creation like Burj Khalifa or The great wall of China. Man cannot be complete without hope,desires and expressing wishes. Hope is man's drive to progress, development and advancement of civilization. But a hope without efforts cause emotional shocks and prove regressive for further dreaming. Though Human is not all powerful and just one among nature's creations. He make ideals and strive to achieve them but nature put numerous challenges and hurdles before man. It is his hope to indomitable and invincible challenges that he overcome by his passionate zeal ,insatiable curiosity and unrelenting quest to success. We should dream and have hope but reasonable and counted.
Dreaming and hope when are reasonable comes with patience and content . It is well said in Gita," Karmanye Waadikha-raste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana". Do your duty without thinking about the fruits. Fair means always bring fair results. 
As results depends upon the our intensity and honesty of efforts. It is ninety percent perspiration and ten percent inspiration which brought success. That is why hardwork and diligency has no substitute and a human institute of great virtues and values.
A passionate desire to change the world exampled by Martin Luther King Jr. and His speech ," I have a dream " really changed the society . Such a impact of dreams which provide you the meaning and Goal of Life. 
"I think therefore i am" , aptly said by Rene Descartes , a Seventeenth century rationalist thinker and philosopher. Here thinking is not mere counting your haves but what the hell you are here for. 
The Gandhi , Subhash and Vivekananda proved that every life has dreams. It not about you only but fellow's aspires and dreams matter the most. They lived for others and never died after that. They and other great personalities did great effort for people and country but everything was rational and well planned.
The planned and strategic efforts bear fruits. Only emphasis on result may cause failure. Hitler lost the war due to poor strategy in fighting against Russians is apt example.
Man can win world but it may prove conspiracy against themselves. Terrorism, Industrial Disasters, Nuclear Bombs, Climate change, Global Warming and other man made disasters are manifestation of suicidal attempts by human civilization. So results should be sustainable and with less side effects.
Building castles in the air while losing Man's working Hours also give hopeless hope. Ultimately man have no option but to face extreme fatalistic attitude like suicide or depression. Our youth which want to earn money and fame without doing anything set worse example sometimes on the similar line. Future awaits them when they accept life as having hope, to fulfill dreams and for doing a lot of efforts. 
Whatever the wisdom we have oriented to our duty and serving the family,society and others. The desire on irrational basis is nothing more than self destruction. Count the eggs you have ,your duty is to preserve and protect them. 
In nutshell, don't count untill it happens. Patience is cardinal virtue of Human. Never expect all your expectations to fulfill. In reality, content and satisfaction would be better not for present generation but necessary for future generations to exist. 
Gandhi Ji said," There's enough on this planet have capacity for every one's need but not for everyone's Greed"
