One basket,

The best advice I ever got was don’t put your eggs in one basket. It means don’t count on one way to do something. In this life it is much better to have multiple ways to get to the same result. It is much better if you or I have many different options to get to the same thing.

Such as life, if you are holding onto one option and it falls through then you have nothing. Take this advice for multiple things in your life, having many choices is much better than one choice, just in case that one thing falls through, then you can move on to other options, now this is better than the other way of doing things.
