“Don't put all your eggs in one basket’ is all wrong. I tell you, put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up”

How many baskets are you juggling?
