A BIRD IN HAND BETTER THAN TWO IN THE BUSH????????

Well everyone says that a thing you already have is much better than one which you see and are attracted towards.
But I tend to disagree. My basic philosophy of life contradicts this statement all together. I always believe that THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING BETTER..ALWAYS….
and I believe in searching for that something better. Though it might sound strange and greedy to most of the people but still I don’t think that it is greedy or even strange. Its just about having dreams. DREAMZZ… The word that is the basis of my existence. The word that signifies who I am and what I am.
Yes I am a DREAMER. A person who dares to imagine. A person who believes in being creative. A person who with each breath thinks of something new. A person who lives in a world of his own. A person who is always on a quest- quest for something new , something better- a quest of destiny. This strange urge to explore, to create, to imagine, to seek is a thing that propels me further in life.
So now you tell me is life just being happy with what u have or is it the search for something more??
I think a person who said that a bird in hand is better than two in bush must be pretty tired of trying or rather even scared to try something new. So as in case of sour grapes he said that its better to have a bird in hand is better than two in bush or it might even be that the person had got two birds in the bush but didn’t want anyone else to get the same so he coined the phrase. But till the time you haven’t even got the two birds how can you say that the one in hand is better???
Why are people so afraid to try n loose that they prefer not to try at all?
Why is everyone so afraid to imagine??
Why doesn’t anyone try to dream—DREAM BIG??
Why don’t most people realize that whatever they have there is always a better option available somewhere else??
WHHYYYYY???

Coz.. many times present is much much more pleasant than past or future...

Running for future.. thinking of past is simply wastage of beautiful present...

hmmm well, amrita, i completly agree with u on the dreaming big thingy. dreams are the biggest inspiration in life.
but sometimes just DREAMING wont do. i guess this saying is for all those ppl who have a bird in their hand amd DREAM hopelessly about 2 in the bush, without making proper plans to capture them.
i hope u get wat i mean(GOD y do i write so bad ??)

regards n peace !!

hi amrita,
"A bird in hand is worth two in a bush" basically highlights the thought of being content and satisfied,and you have looked upon it from a perspective of ambition..
well as you said nothing wrong in dreaming and being ambitious,as "all beautiful things are created in mind".
yep we can't be lazy we ought to have some dreams,but the problem is when they get accomplished we just want to catch another dream ,are we left with any time to cherish what we have achieved ,and in pursuit of achieving our dreams aren't we neglecting those wonderful things that already have been gifted to us.
the accomplishment of one dream gives riseto another dream coz success is like marijuana ,it comes with a high of its own,and when we get addicted to those highs,and the price we pay for those highs is sometimes very steep and than forces us to contemplate " A bird in hand is worth 2 in a bush."
