Putting all your eggs in one basket?

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team
Posted by Paula Scott on October 7, 2021 - 6:00am

Some of you may be familiar with the idiom “don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”  The expression is interpreted as a person that invests or commits all their energy or resources into a single opportunity or goal at the risk of losing everything.  We were often given this advice to make sure that we had a backup plan or a plan B so that if the original goal did not come to fruition, we had an alternative. (When you say plan B to a healthcare professional, we often think of the commercially available product for emergency contraception known as Plan B®.)

In 1963, Bob Dylan released the song Blowing in the Wind and it became an anthem for the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. His lyrics included “The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind….Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.” Bob Dylan is a prolific songwriter who continues to produce music. His latest album release was Rough And Rowdy Ways in 2020. Bob Dylan has won 10 Grammy Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Nobel Prize in Literature.
