Second shots

We all make mistakes, that idea is to learn from them and to try not to repeat them.

The problem is our society and business are getting more and more difficult at giving second chances.
We now have to have background checks done regularly and if something shows up negatively it may impact rather you pass or not which can be unfortunate because as I said we all mess up.
If you are a driver and have too many speeding tickets or fines it will effect your overall CSA score that will follow you and make it very difficult to get a job.

Point being is it is more imperative than ever to think before you act. In today's society and especially with today's technology it will follow you. Yes, it is unfair in many cases but it is where we are at today so especially if you have young ones you best start pounding it into them now.
It will follow them.

Everybody deserves a second or maybe even a third or forth shot, sometimes we do stupid things. Some of us take longer to learn than others and have to experience the hard way. It does make you a bad person and I do not think you should have to carry that cross for the rest of your life. Most good lessons are learned from screw ups. Sometimes you need to see the hurt or the effects of doing something stupid or wrong in order to really absorb it.

Give people around you that second or third opportunity but also remember that someone is always watching and what you do may stick with you for a long time.
