DONT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCH
<h1><strong>Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Are Hatch. </strong></h1><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>In the heart of a bustling Nigerian village, two brothers, Uncle Ade and Baba Tunde, lived side by side. Uncle Ade was blessed with a large family, having ten children, while Baba Tunde had only two.</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Uncle Ade often boasted about his numerous offspring. He would say, "Baba Tunde, with just two children, how can you expect support in your old age? Look at me; my ten children will ensure I'm well cared for."</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Baba Tunde, a humble farmer, would smile and reply, "It's not the number of children that matters, but their character and dedication."</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Years passed, and the children grew. Baba Tunde's two children, Ayo and Ife, pursued education diligently. Ayo became a respected doctor, and Ife a successful engineer. They never forgot their roots and ensured their father lived comfortably, providing him with all he needed.</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>On the other hand, Uncle Ade's ten children faced various challenges. Some struggled with unemployment, others made poor choices, and a few distanced themselves from the family. Despite having many children, Uncle Ade found himself lacking the support he once anticipated.</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>One evening, as the village gathered for a festival, Uncle Ade approached Baba Tunde. With a sigh, he said, "Brother, I used to think numbers guaranteed security. But now I see, it's the quality and values instilled that truly matter."</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Baba Tunde nodded, "Indeed, it's not about counting chickens before they hatch, but nurturing them well so they thrive."</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Lesson learned is that we don't suppose make assumptions based on expectations. True value lies in quality, not quantity </strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p>
