I read this as, you can plan your life all you like but in the end you simply get whatever hand fate deals you and it isn't always what you set out to get, and that we should teach our children to prepared for disappointment. It it like a micro parable, like "Well son, don't you know that everyone sets out to get a swan, but more often than not they just come back with a duck." I love it.
