Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and it is a phrase meaning “it is better to be happy/satisfied with what you have instead of risking/losing them by searching for more”.
Example Sentence: There are at least five possible reasons why New Delhi appears to want to keep the Taliban engagement slow and behind closed doors. For one, if New Delhi chooses to engage the Taliban directly, it could make Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, thus far India’s trusted partner, uneasy. This could potentially nudge him to look towards China and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) for national security and personal political survival. So, in New Delhi’s calculation, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
