I don't have many eggs. I stack them neatly, encase them in bubblewrap, toughen up their fragile outsides. Preparing them for their journey. If careful one basket will do just fine. Presumed failure is failure.
I like the caution of the speaker as that would be expected since he would value the little that he has. I really like the last line. I never thought of the idiom this way, but saying it really sets up a defeatist attitude. To start something with failure in mind will probably end up in failure.
I was a little confused about toughening up the shells. Does the bubblewrap do that? Or is it something else? Otherwise, good stuff.

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket.

Yeah, the bublewrap toughens, but I wasn't clear abotu that. I just felt that it needed one more line right there.
