Don't put your all eggs in one basket- in English Grammar

"Don't put your all eggs in one basket" is a well-known proverb. What does that mean, and what this is used for? 

Let's have a review of our life today. It's a cycle of 24 hours. How do we use our time and how much do we get or earn from these hours? What are our obligations and duties? How are we able to cope with these responsibilities honestly? What are our expectations from others? There are many questions lurking over our minds.  And how do we satisfy ourselves by answering these questions? It's very difficult to understand the real stream of life that goes on today. 

Everyone has a different point of view and has his set of mind in which he performs his duties. Because of human nature, one has his style of learning and offering his services. During this span of time, he gains a reward for his services. Some of them get more than his service because of the different nature of their jobs. There are some physically hectic and some of them are mentally hectic. However, it is difficult to justify this balance. Sometimes mental service is paid much because of its utility in other spheres of life for a long time. And, sometimes, physical service is paid less because of its short span of time. Whether it is physical or mental service, they are extremely valuable to others. Only hard work and perseverance are required to get success in life.
