Question

COVERT ALL, LOSE ALL...What is the meaning of the proverb??​

Answer 1

The meaning of the proverb 'covert all, lose all' is that if a person wishes for more and more then he will lose everything.

• We humans, tend to be greedy and are never satisfied with the things we have.
• When a person wishes for more than what he is entitled to have, then he might lose what he already has.
• This happens because we become so busy in running behind things we don't have that we forget the things we already have.
• In the end, we lose all.

Answer 2

Answer:

The proverb 'Convert all, lose all' means if a person always tries to acquire more than what he already has, he may end up losing whatever little he already has.

Explanation:

We know greed blinds people. As the famous saying goes: there is enough for everybody's needs but not for anybody's greed.

Thus, the tendency to always possess more and more without being grateful for what one already has is not a good habit and can lead to one losing out on what he already has.

One needs to be satisfied with what he has in life and be thankful for that.
