Penultimate act is more inportant than the final act.Is that true or not?

Here i go about analyzing and explaining few modern era problems that could have been solved by the penultimate act.

Penultimate is your one chance that you always have before your final decision and after all previous chances that you would have pondered upon,reacted,acted but never succeeded. The penultimate gives you the choice to correct your previous faults and have the best solution before you have the final go with your final act.

Immensely thought acts are always successful to the extent you will never have to reach the penultimate or final act.But after all we are no super beings to have the best positive act at the first attempt.We all do succumb to failures,learn from our failures and re correct ourselves before the final outcome.But even after multiple attempts we do fail to have the best outcome.Why is this?

For instance me as a child and even today i had so many penultimate chances for every problem.But even at the penultimate chance i dint react properly and my final outcome was a failure.That means i dint make proper use of my penultimate chance.

Even modern day problems that face are society can be solved by proper research during the penultimate stage.But it is treated like any other attempts and even it fails and we move on to the final stage where we have no other way to go and not much time left and we just try to finish the act by hook or crook ad end up without solving the problem.If only the penultimate act was taken seriously and worked out efficiently the final stage would be a cake walk and the outcome would be positive with no problems absolutely.so react and act.
