دو تربوز به یک دست گرفته نمیشود

한 손에 두개의 수박을 들 수는 없다.
- 아프가니스탄 속담
English equivalent: You must not run after two hares at the same time.
Meaning: "Concentrate on one thing at a time or you will achieve nothing. - Trying to do two or more things at a time, when even one on its own needs full effort, means that none of them will be accomplished properly."
