"One group is tasked with writing three good things about their lives; another group has to list twelve good things.

We’re happier after we list three good things than twelve." - Adam Grant in Originals

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." - Mark Antony in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
"...duty, honor, country." Douglas MacArthur in his famous West Point address

There's something magical about three.
