"Don't count your chickens before they hatch" warns against being what?

• Too optimistic
• Too pessimistic
• Too generous
• Too greedy

“Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” is an old saying that means you shouldn’t get your hopes up or make plans based only on assumptions because that can lead to disappointment. The proverb warns against becoming too optimistic about an anticipated event, specifically if the outcome is not guaranteed. This saying encourages people to wait until they have all the facts before getting too excited about a situation. This idiom goes back to at least the 16th century, which means it is at least 448 years old. Its earliest known appearance in print appears to be in a book called New Sonnets and Pretty Pamphlets by Thomas Howell, in 1570.
