The "count of three" theory

The "count of three" theory

The Three Count Theory

One rule of effort is

Don't just judge it "doesn't work."

If we haven't tried it three times yet,

# Theory # Trending # lemon 8 diary # capcut

Many times in life.

We didn't fail because we weren't good enough.

But failed because we gave up too soon.

First try.

And didn't succeed.

We began to doubt ourselves.

Second try.

And it's still bad.

We began to think

Maybe... this doesn't suit us.

But one fact is,

The first is learning.

The second is adaptation.

And the third time

Is our first chance to start "doing it."

This is what many people call

"Count Three" Theory - The Three Count Theory

Not an academic theory in texts.

But it's a simple life rule.

That many successful people

Used unconsciously.

He gave himself a chance.

At least three times.

Before judging that

That thing "isn't."

Because the first time

We often don't understand it well enough.

II.

We still missed out on the details.

But the third time

Is when we start seeing pictures.

Start knowing the rhythm.

Beginning to understand that.

What to do better

Maybe.

We think "I'm not good at myself."

Maybe it's not because we don't have the ability.

But maybe it's because

We gave ourselves a chance.

Just once.

Then hurry to judge that

"I Can't"

Think of many things in life.

Starting a new job.

Exercise

Writing

Doing Business

Or even starting a relationship.

What's the matter?

That we did the first time

Then immediately good

Almost none.

Because of life.

Never reward.

With someone who only tried once.

Life rewards

With people who still try

Even not confident.

The "count of three" theory

Not taught to be stubborn about everything.

But it teaches us

Don't rush to give up.

Before we learn enough,

If tried three times

Intended three times

Improved three times.

And it's not yet.

Retreat

Well, it's not a setback.

But it is.

The decision of the people

"Have fully tried."

Remember that.

Some success.

Not out of reach.

But it stays.

Next to the second attempt.

Just one more time.

And the people who got there

Not the best.

But is the person who

Still count to three

Before giving up.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมเชื่อว่าทฤษฎี “นับสาม” นั้นมีพลังมากในการเปลี่ยนแปลงสิ่งต่าง ๆ ในชีวิตจริง ๆ เพราะหลายครั้งที่เราคิดว่าสิ่งที่ทำไม่ได้ผล เรามักตัดสินใจเลิกก่อนจะให้เวลาตัวเองพอที่จะเรียนรู้และปรับปรุงอย่างแท้จริง สำหรับผมเอง การทำงานหรือเริ่มต้นสิ่งใหม่ ๆ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการเรียน การออกกำลังกาย หรือแม้แต่การพัฒนาทักษะบางอย่าง ผมให้เวลาตัวเองอย่างน้อยสามครั้งเพื่อลองทำและปรับตัวตามที่ได้เรียนรู้ และบ่อยครั้งที่ครั้งที่สามผลงานเริ่มพัฒนาและตั้งตัวได้ดีขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน เรื่องน่าสนใจคือครั้งแรกมักจะเต็มไปด้วยความไม่รู้และความผิดพลาด ครั้งที่สองเริ่มมองเห็นทางที่ถูกต้องแต่ยังมีจุดบกพร่อง และครั้งที่สามกลายเป็นโอกาสที่เราจะเริ่มทำได้จริงและสอดคล้องกับเป้าหมายมากขึ้น ถ้าเรายอมแพ้ตั้งแต่ครั้งแรกหรือครั้งที่สอง เราก็มักจะพลาดโอกาสนั้นไปอย่างน่าเสียดาย นอกจากนี้ ทฤษฎีนี้ยังช่วยทำให้เรามุ่งมั่นกับเป้าหมายที่ชัดเจน และมีความอดทนกับกระบวนการเรียนรู้ที่สำคัญในชีวิต ไม่ใช่การดื้อดึงกับทุกสิ่ง แต่เป็นการไม่รีบร้อนสรุปผลก่อนเรียนรู้อย่างเต็มที่ ผมแนะนำให้ทุกคนลองตั้งใจลงมือทำสิ่งใดสิ่งหนึ่งอย่างน้อยสามครั้งอย่างจริงจัง และพยายามปรับปรุงในแต่ละครั้ง มันจะช่วยให้เข้าใจตัวเองและวิธีการทำสิ่งนั้นได้ดีขึ้น และโอกาสสำเร็จจะอยู่ใกล้แค่เอื้อมอย่างที่ทฤษฎีนี้กล่าวไว้
