I think it means that we must be satisfied with what we have better than taking care of something we do not have.1 dollar in your pocket better than100 dollars in your partner's pocket.

Often times what we currently have or possess, if cultivated and developed, can be more valuable than that which we do not have. I think this is very applicable to skill inventories or talents. When we build on what we are good at we create an unrivaled proficiency. When we constantly seek to add on rather than develop what we are already good at we become mediocre in all things.

it means for example that it is better to answer this question and get10 points rather than wait for a a different question and being invited to get20 points.The10 points in hand are better than waiting for20 fishes into the water. This is true unless you consider the10 points like the two birds on the tree.
