I’m a firm believer in 2nd chances… and sometimes even 3rd. Since we all do/say things we wished we hadn’t, we all need that opportunity ‘to make amends’/correct /change…
In some respects one could look on 2nd/3rd chances as ‘apology accepted’ since most of the time it is because it was allowed by someone else. Another way of looking at 2nd/3rd is that you were trying out options and simply didn’t pick the best one the first time. In many respects it’s totally irrelevant the reason for the existence of another chance, the important thing is to discover if this is available when you find yourself in a position requiring one.
Before giving up, always see if you can’t correct an incorrect action – that’s why, typically, there is always more than only 1 chance.
