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®.)
