so let's say that you have a can I want you to read chapter three and I would read like two pages and then I would skip to the last page of the chapter and see if I could just you know pass the quiz uh or you know the test or whatever um by cutting corners you know not doing the full not studying the whole

chapter yeah by the time I was in school we had like whole websites where you could just like look up the summary of things and the important bullet points oh that's you forgot yeah i'm a dinosaur this is i'm pre pre -internet look i'm becoming kind of a dinosaur in a way i feel because these new these

new like really younger kids like elementary school kids and stuff they already know how to like probably use ai if i think about it you know like you probably have middle schoolers like pulling out ai and it's like chat gpt can give you the answer for everything it must make things like a nightmare as

far as like even for like college students like they must use ai to write papers and stuff oh my students use it use it all the time i think but it's hard to prove you know yeah it's hard to like prove exactly so yeah it's definitely interesting but yeah anyway that's a topic for another day but yeah

went the extra mile on this paper it shows that you deserve like an a plus plus like you really did all your research you're super thorough you did more than what was asked for in a positive way yeah yeah exactly that's exactly right i would try to think of an example and the only one i could think

of is like you bring your car your car is broken you bring it to the mechanic and then the mechanic fixes your car and washes your car and you're like wow they went the extra mile like now my car is clean and my car is fixed so it's just you know going taking an extra step more than you more than is necessary

I would say okay the last one is hit the ground running hit the car and you're like wow they went the extra mile like now my car is clean and my car is fixed so it's just you know going taking an extra step more than you more than is necessary i would say um okay the last one is hit the ground running

hit the extra mile or hit corners hit the ground running yes and what does it mean to hit the ground running i actually use this one sometimes but when when you ask me specifically what it means it's kind of hard to like contextualize it but i would say um it's like if someone hit the ground running

they were ready to go and if you visualize it imagine like jumping off a bus and hitting the ground running like you're still going you feel me but like if you jump off a bus and you don't hit the ground running you're just going to fall flat over your face yeah that's a good that's a great ground running

they were ready to go and if you visualize it imagine like jumping off a bus and hitting the ground running like you're still going you feel me but like if you jump off a bus and you don't hit the ground running you're just going to fall flat on your face yeah that's a good that's a great example like

literally it it if you don't run you're gonna smash your face but um yeah i'm trying to think of like an example like like somebody's starting a new job sorry go ahead no no did you start a new job yeah i just started a new job and it's like through AmeriCorps.

And I would say I hit the ground running because in my first week, like I did more than what people take like months to do the amount of work I did in a week.

And everyone's kind of really impressed.

And I didn't even have like an orientation or anything.

I just figured it out all by myself.

So I kind of hit the ground running at that new job.
