Don't whistle before you are out of the woods proverb
Don't conclude a problem solved until it is completely resolved.
"Your heart operation was successful. You are no longer in any danger" - "There might be some complications. Don't whistle before you are out of the woods".
"The problem will be solved if he agrees to help us." - "Don't whistle before you are out of the woods".
Do you see anything wrong?
1. To punch a hole in one's ticket to show that they have paid for a ride
2. To do something that allows one to go further in a competition or to be promoted at work
1. Please, tell me if I forget to punch your ticket.
2. With a view to punching my ticket to the final, I did whatever it takes to win this round.
