Don't put all your eggs in one basket is a statement that basically depicts that, don't put all your trust in one thing and a whole lot of similar ideas of which we are going to look at it today.

Hello everyone, it's Dangerous_Fly once again. Please subscribe if you haven't and leave a like or comment if you want to.

Please your comment should be post related but shouldn't be only commendation or just a word or two but it should be a contribution.

Let's dive in.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket literally or from a lame man's point of view means don't put all your eggs in one basket so that when something happens to the basket you don't lose all your eggs since eggs can get broken or go into a bad condition when such occurrences happen or take place and you can't get your eggs again.

With this said , it means there is the need not to put all eggs in one basket since we don't know what can happen to the basket in the future and also by so doing it guards or protects us from unseen troubles (breaking the egg).

I was deriving the meaning of this statement from it's individual work but now let's relate this to nature.

This statement can be used at several places in life which depicts that we shouldn't put too much of a quality of ours or property of ours into just one thing. It depicts that attitude can be really thereby we should have a need to put such qualities into other things as well.

Let's take a look at some of these situations.

  • Don't put all your money at a place where you think they are organising a doubler or money doubler I may say. People do this to actually take all your money or scam you of your money but if you want to try then there is the need not to put all you have into it but a portion because what if you don't get it back? Or it doesn't work out as expected? Does that mean you're going to lose all? No, thereby don't put all your eggs in one basket.

  • Don't put all your trust in a person or something thinking that by so doing it will help you. You think this person will always be there for you, this thing can always do what you want but what if it doesn't go that way ?what if it disappoint or become wrong in the near future?. Then I guess there is no need to put all your eggs in one basket.

  • Don't put all your money in a business thinking that when it yields results you will be the best ever in society , yes of course you might be the best on society with more wealth or power but the question is, what if it goes wrong?? When it goes wrong , there is no way to correct it since you have used all your money for( kept all your eggs in one basket), thereby there is the need to put your eggs in different baskets.

There is the need not to put all your eggs (efforts, time, money, love, trust,etc) in one basket (aim, wish, person , thing , company, business,etc) but in different baskets but it should be done in a meaningful way.

I am not saying that putting your eggs in one basket is bad but it has a lot of risks thereby the need for a backup - putting your eggs at different meaningful Places .Because I am saying don't put all your eggs in one basket doesn't mean you go around and put the eggs in so many different baskets that is, different baskets that have holes under them, doing so will rather cause more damage or harm than good.

Let's look at some situations where people keep their eggs properly by not putting them in one basket..

  • Some people do part-time works in addition to their main work. Here they put some of the eggs(work and effort) in a different basket and they don't rely on only their main work because they know that anything can happen. This really helps to the extent that if one of the works fails in the near future he can still survive.

  • Some people(students) aside learning at school result or enter into article writing, programming, graphics designing and a whole lot when they have time. They prepare themselves for the future and are ready for any negativities of unemployment that may arise after they finish or complete schooling.

  • Some people also put some of their eggs into thinking about various problems in the world and try as much as possible to solve them even though they have their main work of survival.

  • Other medical doctors also put some of their time into opening pharmasies of their own and it tends to help them in times of need.

Through this your success can be guaranteed..

Therefore I say unto you not to put in all your eggs in one basket, although it might not be bad to do that but it is advisable not to do so.

Thank you all for your time, I think this could help a little bit. Please subscribe if you haven't and leave a like or comment if you want to.

Thank you once again for your time, it's Dangerous_Fly once again on this, Bring It On!!!

I totally agree. Just like in investment. You should not put all your money in investment. Make sure you have something for emergency funds.

Yes you are right. A lot of people put in all their money when they hear of an investment. Investment is good though but there should be a sense of a little resistance to it where we should at least no put in all we have

About the placing eggs in not more than one basket,....you have a point there. Sometimes, you wished you could trust someone so much, when you do and he or she fails you it dampens the mind and hence makes it difficult to trust anyone else. Good article. Well written

Yes putting too much trust in something or someone can actually lead one astray since when it comes to a time that you are disappointed it will have a great effect on you. Nice addition

Eggs are fragile and can break easily if not handled with care. You should keep your eggs in a safe place and always handle it with care. This applies to real life situation.

Yes it applies to real life situations and as you have already said it, it is fragile and can break so is out trust, money, love , effort and others and if we do put all eggs in one basket and it gets to a time the basket spoils we loss all that is when we put all our trust, love, money, effort in one thing and it fails , we lose all that but when we put them not necessarily at various different places but separately it will help when one thing fails us.

Dont give all to others. Give yourself a little. In all aspects of life.

In investment , invest what you can afford to loose.

I realized that instead of putting eggs in different basket, I must put first in my OWN basket. Think of it like investing in yourself first . Yourself means, your own talent, business or any money making scheme.

Still a good post, keep writing..👍

Although you have a point but not all situations work with that. You can put your trust in your ownself as well as others but as a farmer can you cultivate your own self?? You will have to cultivate something and by so doing you have to do that with different crops not one

Let me put in an agricultural approach, if you are a farmer and a businessman. You have to consider of NOT ONLY investing in ONE certain crop to cultivate. We have to put in mind that every crop grows in a specific season. So what are you going to do for the rest of the season while waiting for the crops to grow? We have to think of other possible crops to focus on. Something that would make our time worth while.

You really never fail to cultivate new ideas! Salute man.

Wow, you never fail to amaze me. A perfect idea , indeed as a farmer putting all efforts on cultivating one crop is really a bad idea. The question is what of the crops don't yield well ? How them will you get your money and your effforts back? Therefore as a farmer you will have to make sure at aleast two to three crops are cultivated and in return if some of them fails you can still sustain the loss. Thank you
