Don't count your chickens! 不要高兴得太早！

The complete version of this saying is " Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Some people find this confusing ,but it's actually pretty simple . If a farmer has 100 eggs ,that doesn't mean he 'll have 100 chickens .You never know how things are going to turn out .
For example：
A： When I win the lottery ,I 'm going to buy a mansion .等我中了奖，我要买一座豪宅。
B： Don't count your chickens ! 不要高兴得太早！
