Saying: (The) third time’s a charm

We can connect this saying to the adage (wise saying): If you don’t succeed at first, try again.


If you have failed twice trying to accomplish something, you should say (the) third time’s a charm to wish yourself luck.


Plus, if you have already been unsuccessful at something twice, you should have learned what you were doing wrong, and if you’re lucky, you will succeed on the third try. As the saying goes (the) third time’s a charm.
