How to use "Head-long" in context?
When something goes wrong, we head-long into the problem, seeking a resolution. We do this instinctively, without thinking, because it's our natural impulse to save ourselves. But in the process we often put ourselves at risk.
There are times when we need to take a step back and assess the situation. That's when head-long can be a hindrance. When we rush headlong into something, we often make mistakes that could have been avoided if we had taken the time to assess the situation.
