“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.
The basic warning of “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” is that you must take care not to get too greedy in life.If you are holding a bird in the hand,you have your meal for the evening.You can take that one bird,and be well fed.If instead you let it go to pursue two birds you’ve spied in a bush,you may catch neither,and wind up hungry for the night.This proverb points out that by passing up a sure thing for a more promising possibility,you also run the risk of losing both the sure thing and the promising possibilit

Life is full of such dark clouds,looming on our hearts,but we must remember everything is not as bad as it seems,and you may find a little good even in the worst situation.Most good and bad thing have a upside or downside,there are no absolutes,so we must not worry ourselves too much with what going on in our lives,rather we must be up to the challenge every day,and be prepared to see that silver lining in every dark cloud.
People who are always moving,with no roots in one place,avoid responsibilities and cares.As such,the proverb is often interpreted as referring to figurative nomads who avoid taking on responsibilities or cultivating or advancing their own knowledge,experience,or culture.Another interpretation equates "moss" to "stagnation"; as such the proverb can also refer to those who keep moving as never lacking for fresh ideas or creativity.Now this means that a person who moves from one place to another,one job to another,one field to another(career wise) will not manage to collect money,property and materialistic things in life.Because this person will never be in a position to settle down in life and will not able to make a fortune for himself.It is meant to suggest that while a stone moves continuously,it has no time to gather moss as moss will only be gathered on a stationery object.
This translates literally with the stone becoming a person and the moss becoming commitment,problems or anything perceived as negative,trying to gather on the person who in turn keeps moving,preventing problems gathering in the first place.
For instance a traveller could use the expression as a way to describe his life; wandering from place to place means he has no time to establish any ties,gain or form any relationships which could break down or encounter any of the day to day problems people generally tend to accumilate whilst going about their days; the expression "a rolling stone gathers no moss" could then be used by this person when asked to explain his life choice.
"a rolling stone gathers no moss" means that you accept what you have and you keep trying to make it better,you progress.That you excel in finding ways to make your life and your self better.
