I like this because it could be said seriously or ironically

"If you're walking on eggshells, don't hop."

That's like the idea of planting a bamboo plant, then jumping over it every day. It's a nice idea, but you won't ever be able to jump over a two story house. Instead, you'll eventually catch your foot and tumble. Likewise with the minefield. The result, is that you'll eventually step on a mine. At best, you can use a simulated minefield as an exercise, then use mine detection equipment and proceed with caution.

Or, you can avoid the minefield entirely.
