Monday 11th June - Eggs

The thing about putting all of your eggs into one basket is that if you drop that basket you are left with no eggs at all. They are all smashed and broken. But if, on the other hand, you de-cantered your eggs into several different baskets, and then happened to accidentally drop one of the said baskets, then you still have some eggs left in your other baskets. You do however limit yourself to an, albeit guaranteed, much smaller omelette. Whereas the first method, the single basket method, leaves you the outside chance of the biggest omelette you have ever seen in your life.

I think what I'm trying to ask here - in the style of an Eric Cantona of cookery - is; is it better to concentrate on one goal fully and solely, or to spread your ambition over a wider field?

I'm not at all sure, but I do like omelettes.
