We have to wait till we are successful. No game is won without playing the last ball. We don't know what is there in reserve. So keeping high hopes will always cause us dissatisfaction only. That is why never have high hopes. When we have low expectations and the results are better than we expect, we will be more satisfied.
I was to go to the US to present a paper at a conference. I applied for a Visa. There was a delay in getting the VISA. I made all the arrangements hoping to get a VISA on time. But I received it late so I couldn't attend the same, a little dissatisfaction for a few days. After six months I got another opportunity and I already had a VISA in my hand. So I attended this conference I presented a different paper in this seminar.
Sometimes students apply for higher studies in standard colleges with the hope that they will get seats. But when they fail to get seats there, there will be a disappointment to them.
Sometimes there will be a miss in between the hand and the mouth. This is all in the game. We have to accept the things as they come and we have to move forward. Then only we will have a pleasant life.

The author has raised a very interesting topic reminding us of a failure occasionally if the celebrations are made in advance. I recall such an incident of my friend who was overjoyed with the performance of his son who just appeared at IIT in 2017 at Ranchi Centre. He was certainly a meritorious student and by going by his words, the father arranged a party at his destination to celebrate his grand performance before the declaration of the result.
He was very much confident of the outstanding results of his son.
Surprisingly, his son qualified for the test with a poor result and secured a seat in Metallurgical Engineering IIT Kanpur for which his son was not prepared for the same. He was expecting the branch of computer science.
Though he managed a job in SAIL, he could not get his coveted branch - Computer Sciences. Besides this there was a heavy criticism the duo due to the pre-celebration of the function.

This is an interesting post. We should not believe or suppose anything before the results are there. We plan, we do hard work, we take all cares, but until the results are there we are not sure about the outcome.
Many people are very positive in their lives and hope for the positive outcome of every action they take. That brings a lot of disappointment if the results are not as expected. So we should patiently wait for the results before any celebrations.
Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

Actually this is what happening in the current Paris Olympics. Everyday media outlets come with a headline where they say, "India is ready to win 3 Golds today", but in the end they don't even end up with a bronze medal. This hype and premature counting of medals by Indian media is childish and causing great damage to Indian sports. Government should keep these mediapersons away from our Indian athletes because these people are affecting the performance of the players. The same hype is being created for men's hockey and Neeraj Chopra. They should remember that without performance nobody gets a medal. It would be better to sit and watch the game.
Thanks and regards.

My mindset is to take count of the chicken even before they hatch,and take all needed steps to conserve and keep them protected. That is when I enter or start on a task, I hope and believe for the best, as far as possible evaluate the risks and also prepare for an unfavourable situation also.
Because of this general attitude generally I do not become over joyous even on achieving, nor do I become over-depressed if something hoped does not happen also.
Unless we ourselves hope and believe for the best we cannot achieve or succeed in our efforts. But we should be aware of the risks and uncertainties also. That is where the traditional teaching of 'Thaan paathi Deivam Paathi' comes to our side. That is, fifty percent ourselves, fifty percent God(uncertainties and risks). The God's half can be taken care by sincere prayrs alongwith our full and focused efforts.

The author is perfect. Through haste nothing will obtained by any one. There is a certain time for anything to get successful results. To get a degree one has to study three years. It is need to wait till a mango get ripped as a good tasty fruit.

The idiom is fully true and we all know this idiom/proverb by heart. But, despite this, we always count our chickens before they hatch.
This is human nature.
Billo Rani kahon to abhi jaan de doon: Oh dear Billo, if you ask, I will give my life

Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch
Meaning: This proverb advises against making plans or assuming positive outcomes based on something that hasn't happened yet. It's better to wait for something to be certain before relying on it.
Example:
Scenario: You've applied for a dream job and are confident you'll get it. You start planning your new office, buying new clothes, and even quitting your current job.
Proverb applied: A friend might say, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch. You haven't gotten the job offer yet."
This means you shouldn't get too excited or make significant changes based on something that's still uncertain. It's wiser to wait until you have a concrete job offer before making major life decisions.
Essentially, the proverb encourages patience and caution, reminding us that things can change unexpectedly.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way
