or sometimes you might even hear tempt providence. Even though, I think Tempt fate

is more common. All right. Let's take a look at a few definitions here. So if someone

tempts fate or providence... so you use them both this way, he or she talks too

confidently about something which could go wrong or could possibly go wrong. Or

number two. If someone tempts fate , he or she takes too many unnecessary risks or

does something that may bring bad luck. So we often say ... don't tempt

fate. Don't tempt providence. All right. So

here's number one. The first example is an a/b part. A says I am I'm very healthy. I

never get sick. And B says be careful you shouldn't say things like that. You don't

want to tempt fate. You know, fate I mean if you believe in fate

or you believe in destiny , you believe in that there might be some powerful force

out there that kind of looks over us and if maybe you say something like I never

get sick. And maybe that whatever that force is may look down and say never get sick.

Okay. Well now you just got sick. You know, you're you're tempting fate. So it kind

of has ... it kind of feels that way. That's what they mean by to tempt fate. Let's

look at number two. I'm the best there is. No competition... there is no competition

who can beat me. Yeah. So this is one where like we talked

about here where you could be overconfident. somebody. Yeah. tempt providence. Because

somebody's too confident about something. Sometimes you're too confident. You speak

this way. Again maybe you're tempting fate. Maybe those forces out there. Oh you

think you can never lose. Okay. We'll do something to make you lose today.

So B will say here. It's good to be confident but you shouldn't say that. You

don't want to tempt providence. Providence also is like tempting fate -

it's the same idea or it's that the care of God or the fates that controls you

that's what Providence is supposed to be. So let's look at number three

stop walking across that narrow wall I know your balance is good but you don't

want to tempt fate. All right again. This might go under the

second part here where maybe somebody is taking unnecessary risks or unnecessary

chances like I'll be careful I know you're good but you know, you never know

something could happen Don't tempt fate. Okay. Anyway I hope you

got it I hope . I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye -bye
