Should You Give People More Chances?
Summary
- If someone shows their true colors, believe them from the start; you don't always need multiple chances to justify removing them from your life.
- I agree with the stance that if a person has a negative history, it might be best to let someone else be the proving ground for their redemption.
- Focus on working with people who have consistently proven themselves and haven't taken advantage of others.
- While I support the concept of redemption, I believe it's wiser to let individuals demonstrate their change of character on someone else's time and investment.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a "trust but verify" approach in personal and professional relationships. When someone shows you who they really are, pay attention right from the start. If you notice negative behavior, don't ignore it. Instead, use it as valuable information to decide who you let into your life. Here's what you need to do:
- Evaluate your circle: Look at the people you interact with regularly. Are there some who have shown negative traits or taken advantage of others? It might be time to reconsider those relationships.
- Set standards: Make a list of qualities you value in relationships, such as honesty, integrity, and reliability. Stick to these standards when deciding who to welcome into your life.
- Focus on proven track records: Prioritize working with people who consistently demonstrate the qualities you admire. This can save you time and heartache in the long run.
- Observe before deep commitment: Before getting too close or involved with someone, observe their behavior over time. This helps ensure they align with the values you hold dear.
- Learn from others: Be aware of how people treat those around you. You can learn a lot about someone's character by how they interact with others.
- Choose wisely for collaboration: When you need to work with others, pick people who have a history of treating others well. This will likely lead to more successful and enjoyable collaborations.
Remember, while redemption is a beautiful thing, it's smarter to let individuals show that they've changed with others before risking your own time and investment.
