"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?
