Never place all your eggs in the same basket

It can apply to so many thing: for instance, don’t pin your hopes for happiness on one thing. Expecting your spouse to make you individually happy, or a high paying job to make you individually happy, is not likely to work in the long term. A balanced life with many interests, God, and dear people is most likely to get you closer to real happiness.

I think the message of not having all of the eggs in a basket means not to have all of your plans of work be based on one activity.

it's like the saying of the proverb, maybe the point is not to do things beyond the limits of ability.

Have more than one plan to get things none. So if the first plan does not work you have a back up plan.

It is a well known saying to advice never to place everything precious in the same place. This includes money, but also future plans. Thanks for mentioning my name.

This advice is true for investments also. In fact, this advice is crucial to stop your loss in the volatile share market.

For me, It means that you must learn how to balance everything and don`t focus on one thing

This is a good advice. It will be risky if you place all the eggs in the same basket. Always have more backup plans. If one fails, then you still have a chance to fix it and cut the damges.

This is an old saying and most know what that means.

Maybe it's about having options instead of just betting on one thing to work out.

Lol, I cannot buy a basket for each and every egg.

This is great advice from Anna. And it can be used in many aspects of our lives. Friends, money, business, the list goes on. Keep your mind open to new things, always.

When referring to investments it goes to show that don't invest your money in one venture, diversify your investment to make sure you have a fall back when one. venture fails.

Can really apply many things, it is a good advice

LadyDuck is a very wise lady "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is good advice and is a pretty well-known saying where I am. We have another that is "don't count your chickens until they're hatched". Both phrases mean to be careful and sensible about what you're doing. I guess, like the way you've described the literal meaning, the one about the eggs is to say that if you pin all your hopes onto a single thing and it crashes. Whereas separating your eggs into different baskets means you're not solely reliant on that single thing and will have a back-up if something does go awry. The one about the chickens is, I think, more about not making assumptions that something will go well. Don't spend your money before it's earned.
