“Put all your eggs in one basket” means to rely too heavily or exclusively on a single option or possibility, without having any alternatives or backup plans. It implies that if something goes wrong with that one option, you could lose everything.
Examples:
1. John decided to invest all his savings in one startup company. However, when the company went bankrupt, he lost all his money. John learned the hard way that putting all your eggs in one basket is risky.
2. Sarah spent months preparing for a job interview at a prestigious company. She neglected to apply to any other positions since she was confident she would get this job. Unfortunately, she didn’t get hired, and now she has no job prospects. This situation serves as a reminder not to put all your eggs in one basket.
