    A Bird In Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush

    Low risk suggested by the Greek proverb
    ——A bird in hand is worth two in the bush

    The phrase seems to have originated at some point in the 13th century, in a related Latin form: Plus valet in manibus avis unica quam dupla silvis. This can be loosely translated as, “A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the woods.”


    As the saying goes “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”, which is popularly applied to variety of daily life, because it warns us about the effects of greed, we can conclude from it that risk control can be an important element of investment.

    It is better to accept or be content with what one has than to try to get more and risk losing everything.

    “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” also sometimes given as, “A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush,” is a proverb saying that it is better to stick with something you already have, rather than pursuing something you may never get. This proverb is a very popular warning, widely used in many English-speaking countries.

    ‘A man in the house is worth two in the street.’ I think now you will agree to this ..
