He promises a crane in the clouds,
But better take Sparrow you in the hands of.
The chickens of tomorrow can easily disappear,
And eggs in scrambled eggs are getting cold today...

I  don't  like  the  word  «tomorrow»  as  I  like  to  enjoy  life  right  now. 

Tomorrow  may  never  come  while  today  is  what  we  have.  Tomorrow  is  a  pigeon  on  the  roof  while  today  is  a  sparrow  in  the  hand.  Perhaps,  one  part  of  me  will  appreciate  the  sparrow  in  the  hand  while  the  other  part  will  dream  of  the  pigeon  on  the  roof.  However,  I  don't  have  naive  hopes.  My  dream  pigeon  is  not  a  necessity  but  rather  a  nice  bonus  that  I  may  get  or  not. 

The  more  useful  and  beautiful  (including  novelty)  a  result  is,  the  more  success  it  will  bring.  However,  the  problem  is  that  big  results  are  the  children  of  big  goals  and  it  takes  a  lot  of  time  and  efforts  to  fulfil  big  goals.  That's  why  those  who  hunt  for  cranes  in  the  bush  at  first  seem  to  be  less  successful  than  titmouse  hunters.

People  who  pursue  big  or  small  goals,  resemble  tomtit  and  crane  hunters.  It's  hard  to  say  what  is  better.  Cranes  are  more  beautiful  and 
tomtits  are  more  useful  and  canny. 

While you were talking, the bird and the cranes flew away.

Patience is the ability to achieve great long-term goals.  Impatient people are impulsive and momentary.  Delayed pleasure accumulates over time.

The crane in the sky and the tit in the hands is like a lie and deception, illusion and reality... like the good and the best.

Patience is the ability to wait to make a big profit. It takes patience to catch a crane.

If the money is today, then this one will be worth one coin, if tomorrow, then two.  Today's tit is worth more than tomorrow's crane, which, by the way, still needs to be caught.  All these hopes and plans, written with a pitchfork on the water, are, of course, good, but we live today, and I personally have never been to tomorrow in my whole life, one continuous endless today.

Ideas floating in the air, it's like cranes in the sky, to catch them and land in the material field you need to spend a lot of energy.

Take the example of cranes, in the team they fly a wedge, so that the ass in front of the flying does not interfere with the review..

A  fleeting  perspective  or  a  long-term  profit.  What  to  choose?  It's  greed  that    votes  in  favor  of  a  long-term  profit,  but  fear  and  life  experience  are  against  as  they  are  sure  that  a  bird  in  the  hand  is  worth  two  in  the  bush.

A  ram  begs  a  wolf:  «Please,  don’t  eat  me,  I’m  good.  Spare  my  life  the  sake  of  humanism  and  my  children.  You  will  shear  me  and  buy  food  by  selling  my  wool.  You  can  also  share  my  children  –  lambs.  It’s  much  more  advantageous  that  eating  me».  The  wolf  hesitates,  deciding  what  to  do:  to  eat  the  pie  in  his  hands  or  to  listen  to  the  ram.  The  ram’s  plan  seems  reasonable,  but  it’s  somehow  too  complicated.  In  the  end,  the  wolf  made  a  «decision  worthy  of  Solomon»  and  decided  to  eat  every  second  ram  and  to  shear  every  first  one. 

Far benefit from the close differs in that a similar benefit will be able to take every second, and far to reach one.

To get the future, you have to sacrifice the past.  A tit must be sacrificed for hope.  They say a bird in the hand is better than a crane in the sky, but the best is the enemy of the good.  Remember, we always want the best, and it turns out"as always".  If you want something other than" always, " give up the best.

A bird in the hand is a reality, and a crane in the sky is an illusion and a Mirage.  No need to run after a crane in the sky, wait until it becomes a tit.

A crane in the sky is not a reason to throw a tit.  The crane is a dream, a source of cheerfulness and spiritual energy.  You will never put a guiding star in your pocket, but you can always be inspired by it.

A tit in the hands of a crane in the sky does not interfere.  Catch the available, dream of the impossible.  The crane will not go anywhere, it is a goal stretched in time, and the tit must be grabbed before it flies away.

Theoretically, the short-term benefit is a lie, and the long-term benefit is the truth.  However, a lie will never agree that it is called a lie and will say that it is better to have a chickadee in your hands than a crane in the sky.  It is fair to call both options true.  Truth Plus and truth minus.

Don't be afraid of the distant, be afraid here and now.  The near is more dangerous than the far, and a bird in the hand is better than a crane in the sky.

The positive effects are coming right now, and the negative ones are a matter of probability.  The same goes for the situation when positive consequences promise someday... in this sense, it is better to have a tit in the hands and a crane in the hands, but then.  First we take the tit, then the crane.  First small, then big.  Big without small will not work.

Plus, this is a minus spaced in time.  It's a tit in the hand.  Then everything will be crossed out, but all this later.  In fact, A Plus is a loan, and what is called a minus is construction with your own money.

To the question " What is better-a tit in the hands or a crane in the sky?"  the correct answer can be expressed by a counter question.  Why do you want to catch chickadees and cranes?  You don't need them both.  Let them live in freedom.  Do not waste your energy on catching these birds and realizing your useless thirst for power.

Everything   has   the   same   value,   but   the   value   that   is   closer   is   like   a   tit   in   the   hands.   Thus,   you   need   to   love   and   respect   yourself   the   way   you   love   a   chickadee   in   your   hands.

It's hard for a person to part with anything.  The crane in the sky does not motivate you to let go of the tit from your hands.  It is unbearably hard for a dog in the manger to part with hay, even if he does not need it.

To get a crane in the sky, you need to give up the tit in your hands and keep your hands free.  Moreover, why do you need a tit?  On the other hand, I noticed that the Titmouse is like an ugly duckling, which, growing up, turns into a white swan.  My conclusion is that for someone who knows how to wait, the choice does not matter.

There is no contradiction between small joys and global goals.  One should take both at the same time.  There is no rush to achieve big goals.  First we take the tit, then we catch the crane.

I think a bird in the hand and a crane in the sky are the same thing.  Tit-a small crane.  If you catch a chickadee today, do not eat it, but let it grow, then tomorrow it will grow into a crane.

Desires compete with needs, taking away their energy.  Desires interfere with the satisfaction of needs, tempting them with a crane in the sky.

While you run after the crane, the tit will fly away.  A fastidious person runs around and looks for the best.  Desperate to find the best, this person decides to take the good, but it is no longer there.  The good is over.  Those who pursue the best are forced to choose the worst.

To get rid of idolatry, you should  give up the best and take the good.  The good is a tit in the hand, and the best is a crane in the sky.  Note, it is in the sky, not in the hands.  A crane in the hands is no longer the best, it is a titmouse.

The main false belief of a person is that what is not can be more valuable than what is.  The idea that a crane in the sky is better than a chickadee in the hand is false.  The idea that the real can be worse than the illusory is a lie.  A hundred dollars in your pocket can't be worse than a billion in your dreams.

The mind constantly climbs into the future and therefore it is constantly tempted by the stork.  The subconscious lives in the present and therefore clings to the tit with a death grip.

Hope is especially strong at arm's length.  Hope is like a bird of Fortune.  A tit in the hand and a crane in the sky is all about hope.  The fact that you see hope, that is, a crane in the sky, should not overexcite you and give you the false idea that the crane has already been caught.

The situation with the bird in your hand and the crane in the sky should not mislead you.  We know that Neurosis gives us a sense of omnipotence, and we are confused, beginning to take the possibility for reality.  It begins to seem to us that hope is on the crane and this is already a tit in the hands.  Accordingly, when it turns out that the crane has flown away, it generates disappointment, resentment and frustration.  Remember, no matter how close a crane is, it's not a chickadee yet.  By the way, when you catch a crane, it will turn into a tit.  A chickadee and a crane are one and the same, only a crane is a chickadee in the sky, a chickadee not yet caught.

The meaning of the tit in the hands and the crane in the sky is that the crane is the hope for something external and future, and the tit is the hope for yourself and your hands.  Titmouse is needed not to frighten the crane, and not to rush at him with greedy hunger. 

The bird in the hand and the crane in the sky must exist at the same time, there is no antagonism between them.  Titmouse gives confidence and a sense of peace.  Tit is what a person does himself and what depends  from him.  The crane in the sky is the hope for other people, the future and God.  God helps the walking, that is, the crane itself will fly to the one who has a tit.  The crane likes the tit.

Tit in hand, crane in the sky.  Tit it's all you do yourself and all that depends  from you.  The crane is everything that does not depend on you, that is, the actions of other people, help, hope, luck, etc.

Choosing more, you choose a tit in your hands.  Choosing less, you choose a crane in the sky.

A tit in the hands and a crane in the sky is a contradictory image.  The chickadee in his hands is trying his best to pretend to be a crane, and the crane in the sky looks very small, even smaller than the chickadee.  That is, the tit in the hands is huge, and the crane in the sky is small, like a dot.

Neurosis offers instant gratification of conflicting needs here and now.  An alternative to neurosis is behavior that promises significantly greater satisfaction of needs in the long term.  Thus, neurosis is a tit in the hand, and healing  from neurosis it is a crane in the sky.  Thus, very sensitive people who are unable to refuse instant gratification of the need here and now are more prone to neurosis.  Such people are impatient and hasty, they need everything at once.  At the same time, these people are very envious, because when you have a half-dead chickadee in your hands.  It's envious to look at other people's cranes. 

An adult needs much more satisfaction than a child.  A child will sell his soul to a maniac for candy, and an adult needs other values.  The main value of an adult is creation and reproduction.  Thus, an adult will not be satisfied with a tit in his hands, an adult needs a crane in the sky. 

Neurosis is the value of infantilism and avoidance of growth.  Neurosis says:  "I'm perfect as it is, the tit suits me."  I will not grow up, I will not grow and develop, and so well. 

Tao is not  Tao, because the word Tao is just a sound that comes from the lips of someone who has been thinking about the nature of Tao.  The word Tao is the path to Tao, a reflection on the nature of Tao.  The following way  The Tao follows the Tao, but never reaches it.  Comprehended  Tao is forever losing hope of comprehending Tao.  To gain is to lose forever.  This is the nature of love, it can be followed, but it cannot be owned.  To hold a chickadee in your hands, but to follow a crane in the sky – this is the way of Tao.

A crane in the sky and a chickadee in the hands are the same thing.  If you catch a crane, it will become a tit.  An idolater man falls in love with a crane woman, loves her, catches her, rejoices... Trying to catch a crane fills his life with meaning.  To catch a crane, you need to become useful to the crane.  However, when a man reaches his goal, a woman becomes a tit, and this is no longer interesting.  A man loves cranes, but he doesn't like tits.  After that, the man falls into melancholy, starts drinking, devalues the woman, other women appear.  At this stage, the titmouse should fly away and become a crane again.  After that, the man runs after the crane again, but it will already be a special crane, combining the quality of a crane and a chickadee.  Such a crane is called the perfect truth, which is paradoxical in nature and eternal.

The meaning of the evolution of life is to realize that the crane is a lie, but it seems to you that it is the truth.  First, denying the lie, you catch a crane, and it turns into a tit.  Tit is also a lie.  Disappointed, you start catching other cranes.  At this moment, the tit flies away and turns into a new crane.  This is called negation of negation.  The new crane is already a real truth, which is a crane in shape, but a tit in content.  If you can negotiate with such a crane, you will find happiness and find what you are looking for.

A man is looking for the perfect woman, but the only available choice is tits or cranes.  Tit is the woman he kind of caught and locked in a cage.  The crane is the woman he runs and hunts.  A crane from afar looks like perfection, and a man longs to catch it, but if he is caught, he will turn into a tit.  So the crane is a lie.  The denial of the crane turns it into a titmouse.  A man does not really like tits and even neglects them.  Titmouse is offended by this behavior, and she can fly away and turn into a crane again.  If these two can then continue their relationship on equal terms, it will be a special crane, that is perfection.  The crane is free, but tame, because a tit lives inside it.

What the proud man owns does not seem ideal to him, so he does not really like a tit in his hands, but he loves a crane in the sky, that is, what he does not have.  The crane in the sky is dazzlingly beautiful, because it embodies all the illusions and self-deception of man.

A tit is something that a narcissistic proud man has mastered.  The crane in the sky is something that has not yet been mastered, but it is coming  hunting.  Narcissists devalue everything they own or torture it like vampires, drinking all their blood.  In this sense, being a tit is not a joy.  However, the goal is to achieve the unity of the tit and the crane.  Let narcissus catch you first, turning you into a tit, and then you will fly away from him and become a crane again.  In this case, it is possible to combine the perfect unity of opposites.  In the future, you should  to build a relationship of two free cranes.  The master-property relationship is a vicious relationship.
