Proverbio seleccionado: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

Significado en español: "Más vale pájaro en mano que ciento volando"

The above proverb teaches us that it is better to make sure of what we already have than to risk something that is not certain to achieve. It's about valuing what we have already achieved and not always looking for new things that might not come to fruition.
