The law of eventually

If you brute force something enough, it will eventually break / give way / work / you will understand .

It started out with me playing snooker / pool.

I don't really like pool, so I just smash the ball to see how many cushions I can make the ball bounce off before it eventually goes in. My record is 6 bounces.

Most of the time it doesn't work, but sometimes it does (and that's good enough for me).

Same applies with learning new stuff with work. I will read something, and I won't understand it, and I will just keep reading articles, or watching videos until it sinks in and I kinda understand it.

The laws of eventually... hit something (a ball, a topic, whatever) hard enough and it will eventually go in.
David sucks at snooker, rather than playing with finesse, he thinks if he hits the ball hard enough it will eventually go in.

David: (smacks the ball as hard as he can)
Opponent: Why don't you actually try and get the ball in by playing a proper shot?
David: I suck at snooker
(ball still bouncing around the table)
Oppontent: But you're not even trying
David: I'm using the law of eventually - if I hit it hard enough, eventually it will go in.
Opponent: You're an idiot
(ball eventually sinks in a random pocket after bouncing off 20 cushions)
David: HA!
