Put it down in lay mans terms, it will work the third time. Have you come across a third person out there who has thrown this line at you. Sometimes when you start the day and the engine doesn’t start, try igniting the engine, turn the key or kick the pedal and see strike one fail, strike two fail again and wow! on three the engine roars!!!
Take a look into life and we see how most things that happen around us happen to this very same rule. For short lets call it the T-Rule. The T-rule can also be viewed as simply trial and error. Mistake are not to made to find out the true answer on the third time, but simply call it chance, luck or fate or just good wishes thrown to us, when we venture out for something we were declined from achieving that the Third time is the charm..
The origin of this term is a question, personally I think it was thrown at some man trying to woo a girl out there and failed the first two times. Think about it and you can see how the vicious circle of love can go about in accordance to the T-Rule, where you have love – breakup – Rebound – breakup – And “T-Rule”. Well could be followed shortly by another break up too if you are not careful enough.
Have you noticed how many baseball movies follow the T-Rule, strike one tension builds, strike two, the crowd goes silent, and swoosh the ball comes in slow motion and the batter strikes a home run!! And everyone lives happily ever after, not only do baseball or sport movies show this but so do the action one and hand to hand combat like in our all time favorite movie ROCKY. The trumpets go berserk as the T-Rule dominates as Rocky maneuvers and throws out the lower jab, upper jab, right hook, left hook and KNOCKOUT!!!
Walk around your day and see how many times the T-Rule has worked for you. Whether it’s you’ve woken up late two times in a row, missed that bus you wanted, or even did not do too well in at work or play. Unconsciously the T-Rule must have worked out! The next time you do something, something failed at, declined before, passed away because of uncertainty, pause for a second and see if it’s the T-Rule at play. If it is, smile people because you’re going to hit that home run now, for it’s the third time and it is going to be The Charm!
