don't jump the gun

don't jump the gun 서두르지마

I want you to think of the Olympics and think about the track events. There are runners. When do they start? There's a starter who has a gun and he shoot and they start to run. Before he shoots the gun and that is the jumping the gun. Is it ok to jump the gun? Is it ok to start before the gun?  No it's not ! So we say ' Don't jump the gun. Don't start too soon. Don't be hasty. Wait. make sure it's the right time to start.'
