0:00 - If you're jumping to a conclusion, you're kind of thinking, like what's the result of something?

0:07 - But to get ahead of yourself is, is more like, maybe I'm, I'm thinking about what some possibilities are or, or they could be related but not necessarily.

0:16 - So you don't have to think about it that way.

0:18 - A friend of mine is, let's say she, she's worried about her husband, like she says, oh, my husband is coming home late recently, and she jumps to the conclusion that he's cheating on her

0:35 - So like that, that's not like a logical conclusion

0:38 - Like if I could, if I could describe it for you here

0:41 - So something happens, a happens or a like, you know, whatever that thing is

0:47 - So, my friends husband is coming home late

0:56 - And then the wife jumps to the conclusion of like, oh, like conclusion one is he's cheating on me

1:05 - So, she's gonna, or just jump to that conclusion

1:23 - So, there are actually, you know, various reasons why something might be happening.

1:28 - But if you jump to a conclusion you're thinking, oh, like I'm going to assume one of these things is true, even if I don't have lots of evidence for that thing

1:38 - So that's jumping to a conclusion.

1:41 - But getting ahead of myself, like is a, is a slightly different situation.

1:47 - And that's more if I'm thinking about something and maybe I am like, like, let's say I want to go to college

1:56 - So, in that situation here, here's like situation a over here is I want to go to college

2:01 - But then I'm also having to think about what happens after I graduate

2:06 - And then like, maybe I have to move to a different city and then, what if I, I don't know, get into a car accident or something like that?

2:19 - I didn't even go to college yet

2:22 - So, I'm getting ahead of myself

2:24 - I'm thinking like way into the future about something that I couldn't really know

2:29 - So, I'm getting ahead of where I am now, so I'm getting ahead of myself

2:34 - So here I am, I'm thinking, well, maybe I should go to college

2:37 - But if I do that, maybe I have this thing and maybe that's, it leads to these other things that might happen

2:45 - And so, my, I'm just talking with my dad right now

2:48 - should I go to college?

2:50 - And he says, oh, well, you know, what do you want to do?

2:54 - I don't know, like go to business school or do you need to become a doctor?

2:59 - And then I'm and I start talking about all these other things over here

3:02 - He's, he's saying, whoa, whoa, you're getting ahead of yourself

3:05 - Slow down, focus on this particular thing because you don't really know all of this other stuff that's going to happen anyway

3:13 - So, this is, to get ahead, get ahead of yourself

3:37 - There could be multiple

3:38 - Oh, no, he's cheating on me

3:42 - Oh, no, my husband is late

3:43 - I jump to the conclusion that he's cheating on me

3:47 - So, I didn't like reasonably think about it or get lots of, you know, in interesting information about that

3:54 - It's just who I jump to the conclusion that he's cheating on me?

3:59 - So, like you can see how these two things are related, but I, I wouldn't say to this woman like, oh, my husband's cheating on me

4:07 - Hey, you're getting ahead of yourself

4:08 - I wouldn't say that to her because she's not like logically thinking of thinking through a bunch of steps here

4:15 - This is more what I just jump directly to the conclusion here

4:19 - I'm jumping from he's working late to B which is he's cheating on me

4:25 - So, I'm jumping to conclusions

4:28 - In the college example if I want to say jump to conclusions, that would be more like maybe this school, this school is lower price

4:41 - And I would say no I don't jump to that conclusion like, so you're, you're making a connection between one thing and something else, which may not be true

4:50 - So, it might be true, but maybe not

4:52 - So maybe we need some more information to understand something that's happening

5:05 - This is often how people are like the mind is working that way when people learn vocabulary

5:10 - When people are learning language, when they, they first learn something, they jump to the conclusion of what it means

5:17 - But often as they get more examples, they understand that, that word really means something else, or they have a stronger definition of that

5:24 - Try to control yourself from jumping to conclusions and spend more time getting more information

5:31 - So, you don't or to make sure you don't jump to conclusions

5:38 -You can see they're similar, but getting ahead of yourself means you're walking forward, and you're continuing to ask more questions or going through more steps rather than just whoop, one big step going up to here

5:51 - That probably is incorrect
