My mother always said, dont put all of your eggs in one basket is that true and what exactly does the mean?

quite literally, if you put all your eggs in one basket and things go crash, there's a good chance every piece would break. so...





other ways to put it are:





hedge your bets


split and limit your risks


leave some for insuranceMy mother always said, dont put all of your eggs in one basket is that true and what exactly does the mean?
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.My mother always said, dont put all of your eggs in one basket is that true and what exactly does the mean?
DON'T PUT ALL OF YOUR HOPES AND AMBITION IN ONE DREAM....





SPREAD THEM AROUND..IF YOU LIMIT YOURSELF


YOU WILL CRASH AND BURN.
She is quoting the old wives tale - the basic premise being that you should not pin all your hopes on one things - but rather diversify. Set several goals and work toward them independently and that way if one fails, you have others to work with.
Well, if you have all of your eggs in one basket, and you drop the basket, then you're SOL. If put some of your eggs in one basket and some in another, then your chances of keeping the eggs intacted are better. It's just a phrase that means that you shouldn't rely on just one method or one way of doing something. You could get burned
dont try to do eveything at once
