Don't Jump to Conclusions


Its been like a year since my last post, I am very sorry for that. 

my reason for the "No blogpost for a year" is well I've been busy with my studies, and for some reason words seemed to have left my mind... 


But for today fortunately, I think everything is coming back to me. 

Going back to my blog for today, We'll going to explore the idiom "Don't Jump to Conclusions", I have heard this idiom before while we're watching the Test your Brain on National Geographic, and ever since then this certain idiom didn't left my mind. 


And today when I got home from school, I have mentioned this idiom to one of my friends because of some things we've been talking about this past few weeks. Well the only word that I can say about this idiom is "helpful" Because it taught me not to make any conclusion based on what I know, see, or hear, because sometimes the things that we know is only a part of completely another whole thing. 

According to http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com, Jumping to conclusion is to judge or decide something without having all the facts. Now we know why we should not jump to any conclusions because we don't know the whole thing. 

Let me give you a certain simple scenario where you can apply this idiom "Don't Jump to Conclusions" 


Let's just say I have this classmate, and for the whole semester the only 3 words that I have heard from him is yes/no/maybe. And because of this, I have concluded that he is a freak, forever alone type of person. And then one day I saw this classmate of mine eating in a restaurant with his friends, and from afar I could see that  he is laughing, and happily chatting with his friends, and now I wonder what the hell happened right? because base on what I know, he is not that sociable/approachable type of guy and yet he has friends. Real friends. 

And because of what I saw on the restaurant, I told myself on how foolish am I to name him as a freak or forever alone guy. 


Well base on my example, because I quickly jumped to conclusion that he is freak/forever alone guy, I missed the maybe wonderful chance of being a friend with this classmate of mine. The only thing that I like to point out in this example and for this whole blog of mine for today is that when you jump to a conclusion, it is certain that regret will follow because you draw a conclusion based on what you only know without actually trying to get/know the whole thing. Because even though you know something about a person/thing it is also certain that there is much more to know and yet to be discovered about that person/thing. Which only means that we don't know everything.  


And I do hoped that I made my point clearly in this blog of mine for today. 



Lesson learned guys.. Don't Jump to Conclusions


Happy Blogging :)
