If we “jump to conclusions,” the chances are that we are doing very little thinking. Men have been arrested and put in jail because policemen jumped to conclusions about their possible connection with a crime. A man might just happen to be at the scene and, because of that, be suspected of having a part in it. Many persons have been disappointed in buying a used car because they jumped to the conclusion that it was a “good buy” since it had a good “paint job” and “looked okay.” It is possible to get on a wrong train in a busy railroad station by jumping to the conclusion that the train which arrives at a certain time is the expected one. It could be a previously scheduled train which is late. Occasionally we face problems where we have to make instantaneous or immediate decisions. In these situations we have to think and think fast and hope that we get the right solution. But in most situations in life we are under no such pressure. If the man in our example a few pages back, coming upon the “Bridge Out” sign, had an injured person in the back of his car and was rushing him to a hospital, he would not have much time to sit in the car and study road maps or ponder about directions. He would have to think fast and then “get going” on what seemed to be the best route. However, few life situations are like that. If we learn to take time to think, we will probably live more effectively and more happily. An educated man or woman will abhor the hasty decision of the crowd and he or she will react against the “hurry up” plea of the emotional orator. That much-to-be-desired attitude of thinking instead of acting on hunches comes from experience and study.
