Reg: Meaning of a Phrase
Hello Community,
I just came accross a term "Second Act"
From what i was able to gather from several websites, here is my consolidated definition
1. "Second act is a Second chance to people who fail in their first attempt (be it Sports, their proffession or an Experiment)
2.Second act is a job/venture taken up by people after their 40 years
Please tell me if both the meanings are Correct or it has got a completely differnet meaning?
Regards,
Vivek
