Amplification : A Bird in Hand is Worth Two in Bush

A Bird in Hand is Worth Two in Bush

We often calculate things which are not in our possession. But this is not wise. We do not know whether we will be able to use them when  they are really necessary. It is uncertain. So one should mind what he has got at his disposal at the present time and act on their availability. If one takes into account the things which are in other's hand for an action plan and he does not get them in due course, it will be ruinous. He will be in great trouble and it will be too difficult for him to tackle the situation. On the other hand, if one depends on the available resources there will be little possibility of crash or unexpected failure. Sometimes people make (a plan of investment with the money which will be borrowed from others and goes to action with that plan. But when he fails to collect the money as promised by others, he falls in a false position. He will not be able to implement his plan. His time and labour will be wasted. That is   why the proverb goes: 'A bird in hand worth two in bush'. It means that one bird in one's hand is more valuable than the two birds in the bush. If he wants to sell the bird to get money he can do so easily. But what can he do with the two birds in the bush? He cannot do anything with them. They carry no value to him. The lesson of the proverb is that one should remain satisfied with whatever he has even though it is meagre. He should not be fantastic in his thought and action. The exiting situation will be taken as reality and he will not resort to any impossible calculation   based on unreal prediction.
