Stay Hopeful, but Not Too Idealistic

Many persons are always kept poor, because they are too visionary. Every project looks to them like certain success, and therefore they keep changing from one business to another, always in hot water, always "under the harrow." The plan of "counting the chickens before they are hatched" is an error of ancient date, but it does not seem to improve by age.

Many people stay poor because they have unrealistic dreams. Every project seems certain to succeed, so they keep switching from one business to another. They are always in trouble, always "under pressure." The habit of "counting the chickens before they are hatched" is an ancient mistake, but age hasn't made it any better.
