        It means that sometimes we work hard for something but give up just before the breakthrough. # Patience, Humility and Hardworking all the way.

        It means that things fall apart when you expect that you are already there, so be more careful when you are about to 'get there'. In Shona they say kuputsa chirongo wasvika

        My thought: Just as you think the long and difficult task is complete and you've been successful, it comes crashing down. So don't count your chickens before they're hatched (American proverb), and don't get arrogant.

        Be cautious as you are about to make it in life/be successful.Sometimes people get some little success and they lose the bigger picture

        Don't be so sure of success until you in it. It may turn the opposite in the last minutes of certainty
