Inductive reasoning is when you observe specific cases, and you try to make general statements from them. It is not always valid, so be careful about using it.

For example, you might watch a few NBA games, notice that all of the players you see are tall, and decide that "All NBA players are tall." You are looking at specific cases and making a general statement from those cases. Of course, in this case, the general statement you've made is incorrect because there are a few short NBA players, such as Muggsy Bogues.
