Better safe than sorry.
Izreka kaže da od viška glava ne boli, opominjići da "od manjka glava ume da zaboli". Tom logikom, dolazi se i do celine značenja ove izreke.
Takođe, ako razmotrimo situacije u kojima se ljudi najčešće koriste izrekom "od viška glava ne boli", doći ćemo do toga da se radi o gomilanju nečega što trenutno nije neophodno, ali ih je život naučio da će se u budućnosti sigurno ukazati potreba za time. Dakle, to je najčešće u situacijama kada se ljudi time "obezbede" da u suprotnom ne bi "zažalili".

U slučaju preventive da...slažem se sa prethodno navedenim odgovorom. A šta ako je kontekst "uradi više, ne može da škodi!"
"go the extra mile"
If you go the extra mile, you do more than what is expected of you.
"go the extra mile"
If you go the extra mile, you do more than what is expected of you.
